I am trying to decide whether I will stay an extra day or not... and if so, what day?

If I take Friday off, I will be there Thursday night, and leave Sunday night. If I take Monday, I will be there Friday night (7-8), and leave monday afternoon.

Or... I could work 4 10 hour shifts the week of, and get Friday, and then take Monday as a vacation day...

The best of both worlds...?

Scottmang! When is the food shopping?

[SVT98t]

You must be there for drag racing!!!!!

I was there for racing last year...

Only one of the SF crew was racing!

If I was bringing the white car, or my CS, I'd be highly, highly tempted to make some passes.

Eh... I don't know... maybe I could race the truck. I'm always down for being a spectator, too!

[Grand Marquis GT]

I'm racing my TDI.

I will be departing on Monday morning, as I have finals that week.

Ill be racing the Saturn that's at Skippyville and my Mustang that we're driving down in. I tried getting my step dads 03 GM but he didnt want all the miles being put on it driving there and back.

[P72Ford]

I've restricted myself to not race my CS until it has 1000 miles on it...

Right now it has 340 on it.

I doubt it will have 1000 miles on it before August, anyway.

I'll definitely be racing it this fall (in the good air). I shouldn't have any issues running in the high 12s, totally stock. Weather and traction permitting. Many folks have run even in the mid to high 12s, totally stock. I saw where a stone stock (save for ET streets) 2011 CS went 12.30 at 110, with 3.31 gears. Driver mod. I am somewhat versed with a stick, not that its that difficult to shift one of these cars quickly, as the stock shifter is not half bad.

With my planned bolt ons (cat back w/ x pipe), tune, intake, shifter and bracket, and sticky tires, I should have a low 12 second car, with relative ease. Other than getting a different set of wheels and tires (stock, but wider, or GT500 wheels), maybe some lowering, and removing the stripes, I have nothing planned for this car until it goes out of warranty.

[P72Ford]

I think we need an 'official' head count, and what are you driving thread.

With around 3 weeks to go, most folks should know whether they are going to make it or not.

But... I can't be the only one with a boss that pops in with an 'extra' assignment, on a Friday afternoon, either.

Ok so supposing that I do not run into any major financial issues and I am still breathing in 3 weeks time I plan to be there I've got some vacation days so ill prolly come up Saturday and stick around till Tuesday I mean its only 400 miles no big deal lol.
