Unless we can alter the laws of physics, you are likely safe on this offer. ;) But if it ever happens, the elephant cars won't forget this post. :D

I had a good time running at Nashville this weekend. I am hoping to make it out the 411 in Aug. I hated to miss the last one.

Definitely an interesting layout this week. Strategically placed pavement sealer kept me sliding all over the place.

You were running well though. I was just happy to get down into the 61's. I know where I made a few mistakes. ohh well seat time is everything. I just wish I could get off these street tires. Maybe next year.

Get rid of that bike, there's about 10 SETS of R-compounds for'ya! ;)

:banghead: :mad: :banghead: :mad: :banghead: :mad: :banghead: :mad:

Thanks again for the ride Val. That car is unreal.

My pleasure, but I need more work with it. Congrats on the 61!

List updated. :thumbsup:

We are going to have a heck of a caravan coming down from the north. Can't wait to see you all soon!:D

And some of us are bringing real tires with us this time we can at least keep up with the taxi cabs, hopefully anyway.

Tore down the short block yesterday. 2 pistons toasted but fortunately the taxi will live another day. The bad news is that it won't be alive before 8/27 411. You can scratch me from the list :( this time around. I'm sure Terry, Kelly, Shawn and Bobo will not disappoint.

Damn, that sucks. Hope you get it back together soon.

:( :(

Sux man, buy you a beer next time:thumbsup:

Slap'ya a good ol' FORD motor in there and you'll be good to go! :bounce:

Tony sez:But I don't want to lose 300+hp... :p

Should be back together by labor day. Sux but it's an excuse to pull the motor and put more trick parts in it! Can't wait to chase the white rabbit again.

At the rate things are going, I be at this event with the new motor in the car. It will not be dyno tuned until September, so I'll be a little down on optimal horsepower due to a safe (rich) break in tune. But unless something goes wrong during the install, I'll be there.

Terry

You need to be chasing Corvette's, not my chewed up piece of beef jerky. :o:(

Methinks that "piece of jerky" is gonna have some new tricks on the 27th!

Yea. I've probably gained about 10lbs from eating. I've been eatin' food like a fat chick dumped by her boyfriend the night before Prom.

Adds grip :D

Is it time to race yet? :bounce:

No Kidding!!!!

I could sacrifice some grip for weight reduction/more power any day. ;)

Spay it on the back stretch...:thumbsup:

Aug 27 list updated!!!:bounce:

I've tried that. On the back stretch, twice in the infield X, and another time on the back stretch approaching the "chicane". The ol' pocket knife at the machine gun fight. :baby::(:o

Wow! Randall signed up in the M3!!! You guys in for some surpises. :)

Hey Rick: I don't know if it matters for registration purposes, but I won't be in the Camaro on Race tires. I'll be in a 1995 Miata on street tires. Thanks!

:cool: He can drive a little.

Hey, all
Looking forward to meeting everyone in a couple of weeks. Anyone traveling from or near Western North Carolina that's wants to caravan over on Saturday the 26th? Let me know...:)

Need some info....

I will be making my vigin trip to the 411 event due mostly to the prodding from the Monjot men and cannot wait to again drive my Cobra the way it was meant to be driven. I have not been at a driving event since rollbars were made mandatory for convertibles but was a junkie before that.

I will not be arriving in the Knoxville area until 8-9 p.m. on Saturday night as I am the head coach of a youth football team w/ a game at 11:30 Sat morning here in the Cleveland area. I should get on the road btwn 1-2 p.m. I need a hint on where to get a hotel room that is close to the track or close to where most everyone stays. I do not have a reservation yet and need to get on this in the next couple days.

Thanks in advance for your response and guidance..much appreciated!

I think the CHAPMAN HWY ones will be your best bet. I am not very familiar with the area. (The track phone has a 577 number, and those two Chapman HWY Hotels have the same).

The Buckeye caravan has a thread open about the trip down and where they are all staying.

Here is where they have looked to stay.

Ok guys, the Country Inn and Suites on Campbell Station Rd. gets $99 to $119 per room per night (std. room or suites), a $10 discount ($89 to$109) can be had if you reserve and prepay it online, AAA or Military, the discount rate in not cancellable. Last year we stayed at the Country Inn in Alcoa, TN, their discount rate is $79 this year. I am going to opt for the Campbell Station Road since it is more convenient for Hazman and he's doing me quite the favor. Let me know what you think.....Mark.

Hey Mike, I haven't heard from the Monjots but I'm already booked in at the Campbell Station Road Country Inn and Suites. I'll be getting to Hazman's place hopefully around lunchtime to put my rollbar in, from there I'm not sure where or when we'll be. I'll IM you my cell # and you can hollar when you're close....Mark.

411
 

Mark P, Mike R-

Michael (Colleen), myself(Cheryl,Meredith) will leave first thing Sat a.m. I'll let Michael coordinate with you about meeting and going down together. We have a room reservation at the Country Inn and Suites. (Mike R- the hotel no. is 865-675-9800.

Don't forget your helmet if you have one. Also, Michael will be bringing a tent on his trailer, need to keep the women happy. Mark M.

Hey Mark. I just spoke to Mike on the phone, it sounds like we'll meet at the same rest area in Kentucky just south of the river, probably around 8am. C'ya then.....Mark.

Gentlemen,

Just made my reservation at the Country Inn & Suites on Campbell Station Road for Sat night. I will be there at 9 to 10 pm Sat night.

Besides my helmet, any hints for preparing my car?

See you all Sat night and Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

other then removing all loose items from inside the car (driver's mat, change, wendy's leftovers, etc.) and a secure battery you should be good to go.
