That blows. Many nights I've only got 4-5 runs in between 7:00 and 11:00, and then get 5-6 more in between 11:00 and 11:45 (when they tend to start blocking off the access, even if there are no cars in line) because all the little boys go home.

It's not going to be nearly as much fun if the higher price point brings in half as many runs.

I dont know what the exact price is to run? but there web site says $20 and i think thats $5 less then last year? also i dont know (cause it dosent say on the site) if you have to pay a one time $10 charge for a number for the year? BUT i did see that general admission is only $8 last year it was $10. so maybe from the shorter hours this year they knocked off a few bucks? peace

Honestly I think where we met up is one of the best. Far enough out of the way to not draw any unwanted or unwarranted attention...

That's lame, late night is the best time to go to the drags! Let me guess... it's probably the whiny neighbors that we have to thank for that. If you don't like the noise maybe don't live next to a race track? Anyway I live a couple miles away from PIR and I can just barely hear the champ cars sometimes but it doesn't bother me in the least.

Maybe this year I'll finally bring my heap out and see what she'll do now that I think I can finally make it down the track in one piece...

no but i posted back then and no one wanted to come hang so why bother posting when we are?i figured on the nights we do i'd post it prior.I've started a new project so i'd be rolling the 4 banger coupe,plus the weather is ****ty now.Maybe next year huh? Besides this isnt a thread for just me to post when i wanna meet if any of you guy's want to meet up just post up! andy you still thinking of selling your car?my buddy is kinda looking for a good LX hatch. peace

Do you still have your white notch? I hope you didnt get rid of it...

Andy-YOURE NOT SELLIN BUDDY!!! Dont roll with the crowd...

As for hanging out, I agree next year it just might have to be. We need some momentum on this idea but there are enough of us who would enjoy meeting up im sure.

Edit: I just saw your post on 5.0 forums and saw your new ride. NICE! do you still have the notch or did you trade and or sell? Plans?
