I think this needs to get stuck. hint hint :D

as always, I'll be there.

And be patient, it "meets the criteria" so Dennis will stick it.
That did NOT sound good....

I'll be there for this one as long as no issues arise with the Z between now and 9/26!

I'm planning on being there.

Jim

glad to hear it gents. I went a bit further away from stock, and am now el confidente I'll hit 12's. :yes:
I'm bustin arse trying to get the old mans put together to trailer the newest BB on the Ave to time trial history :D

Thanks!!!!

Count me in .... Can I race my work truck? (only Chevy I have that runs)

Jeff

I plan to be there and hope to get into the 13s this time?

I'll be there, looking for 11's. Should be good air so Im looking for it to happen. Been getting faster and faster since the first outing.

I might hafta borrow someone's tires again. anyone have some etstreets and 1/2" lugnuts?

Planning on being there myself and hoping to break into the 11's as well.......12.30's so far with suspension that is not working worth a cr!p. Planning a couple of changes to the suspension between now and the 23rd that should help the Z get there. If I don't have too much fun maybe I'll give up the Mickeys to you for a couple of runs on the vert Jim :)

Anyone got an extra 830-950 Holley DP which is good shape that I could try out??? Would love to see if the 383 likes some more air flow at the top end.

Tom

We're coming down to the wire here. Spin your tires and get some friends on board. All GM makes and models are welcome to attend. Get together with your buds who own Buicks, Olds's, and Pontiacs and tell them to come on out!!!!!

Jason..............is this strictly a GM organized event or an open TnT?

Jason..............is this strictly a GM organized event or an open TnT?
The T&T is certainly open to anybody Tom. We'd like to have the club outing limited to vintage GM if possible, but understand not everybody's car is running. Track prep should be fantastic as they added the Quick 16 doorslammers bracket a few weeks back for the same day.

I talked to brian today (blueSS) and he'd like to come out, send him a PM Jason, he's in Algonquin, might want to caravan with you.

Anyone know if Harley is going to make it to this one?

Anyone know if Harley is going to make it to this one?
He told me he couldn't make this one about a week ago Tom.

Hey Guys. Now that my car is up and running again, I plan on coming down. Just not sure if I am going to run the car or not. Will see where things are at that weekend. How many guys are signed up so far?

looks like 11 right now, but most people decide the in the last couple of weeks. :thumbsup:

Anyone know if Harley is going to make it to this one?
Sorry Tom,:( but thanks for asking. :waving:As it is it's hard to even pop in here for a minute or two now and then. I want to try and get get everything done on the new house by the end of the month. In fact I really haven't even had a chance to really look into my low oil pressure problems from the last outing to Byron.:confused:

Hey Guys What do I need to make a run I remember about a overflow tube ( I will set that up to run into a ?) I have snowmwobile helmets but they are in wisconsin. Wont have for the event) Jim could I use yours for a run or two? What else do I need to prep for this ? Car is stock 67 vert 350 stick. I just mad a few jet and rod changes last weekend it really purrs nice now, It will be intresting to see how quick it is. BTW this weekend is the classic race @ Road America just south of Green bay, During the lunch break you can run your car on the track, I thought that would be cool too! I also found the entry form and it says somthing about having medical info on file. Any body know more about all that? That kind of track would be a blast.

Rules are pretty relaxed for T&T. 13.99 or less requires no helmet in a hardtop 14.99 or less for convertible. You'll need an overflow bottle for coolant. A 16 oz. pepsi bottle works nice for this. Seatbelts (factory lap belts are adequate unless your tuning in the 11's etc.). See you all there!

I will be there with or without the family.

What's the latest head count for Byron? Are we still at 11 cars?

15-16 But who knows.
Does anybody own a digital camcorder they could bring to record a few passes to submit to AL?

I am going BUT, after getting the car close to alignment......let me start over. I got the alignment done. Went out the next night, battery dead,brake lights were on, now no brake lights. I am going to troubleshoot on Saturday. Thinking maybe a fuse or in the turn signal area. Will be there for a short time on Sunday cause I am a season ticket holder for DA BEARS and want to see them beat up on Romo.

Would be great if everyone makes it!

Jason............I have a digital camera that can take video as well, does a pretty good job. The memory card gets chewed up pretty quick, maybe a few runs to fill it up but I'll bring the laptop and I can dump them off the camera into the laptop as needed. We can try to get as many as possible.

Looking forward to meeting every on Sunday!

Tom

Me too Tom, a 2 Gig card will hold a tremendous amount of video however. Mine does a decent job as well, just figured I'd see if anyone had a dedicated video system which can zoom those distances. I promised Al we'd get photos of everyone with their TC names next to the cars this time too. I don't want to jinx it, but the meteorologists are saying sunny skies for the entire day, little warm but I think we can live with that. I hate how all the bugs show up right before an event. I have to trailer this time and take my chances on getting in a few good passes.

Well, not sure if I will have time to get my car on the dyno to get it tuned before Sunday. Bro-in-law who owns shop is going on vacation on Friday. Either way, I will be coming with car just to meet everyone and watch some good racing. (and grab a GREAT burger)

PS... As of today, mostly sunny, highs in lower 80's according to 2 weather sites.

I may be # 12

OK GUYS. I'm going to have some raffle tickets to sell at our outing. I'd like to get an idea of how many I need to get so nobody gets shortchanged. They cost $20 a piece, and click the link to find out what that 20 might get you. Please PM me if you need multiples. http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=116989

Jason............I'd be in for 2 if you can confirm whether or not you need to be present for the drawing. Could not find the info on the website, looks like you needed to submit for the tickets online to get to the next step where the rules might be.

"At the drawing, the winner will be notified based on the information on the ticket." I read that as not necessary to be present at drawing.

Thx Jason!

Line 5 from the links reads........."Winner notification will be made by telephone and mail/ e-mail."..........Put me in for 2!!

Mikey, from the events in the past it seems like everyone shows up around 9 AM. click the link in my sig for a pic of my convertible, it's easy to spot.

Just a note, I gotta cub scout campout the night before, so will show up around noon.

Tell the cashiers at the gate you're with Chevyteam.com $25 runs all day $10 to spectate. We will have our own staging lanes too!!!!

Park here !

Gate to staging lanes right here ! _____________________________

Is that directly on the north side of the fence? We have been parking about 30 feet east of that pic, where you can just back up out of your stall and make a left right into the staging lanes. I really hope the Quick 16 isn't a field of 64. It shouldn't be as it's round two. Last time out I got in a baker's dozen for passes. AGREED TOM; Come on Sunday!!!!!

I may be # 12
If you're coming out PM me and I could possibly meet you at Rte 72 and Rte 20 where they converge at 47

Well, looks like I will not be running or even bringing the car. Brake lights stil are out and the ordered parts will not be ready for pick-up until Tuesday. I will still be there however. What time does things get started? I am leaving fairly early and will have my truck. If any of you see a white Avalanche, wave me down as this will be my first time there. Still need to leave early as stated before to make the Bears game.

Dave

Dave, that's too bad you can't bring the car! The pits open at 9, track at 10.
I have a cub scout campout, and may not arrive till noon. If you have to leave before that, leave the alignment tools with Jason or TomD, if you're done with them.

GO BEARS!!!!

Dave
What went bad in the brake electrical sector that you can't get until Tuesday? eightfourseven 3 four one four seven eight 5 call me, I might have what you need in the garage, and could meet you halfway or something. I'd hate to see you make the trip and not be able to run your car. Jason.

Per Dick Monaco from Byron the gates open at 8:00am tomorrow so I plan on trying to get there between 8:00 - 8:30...............look for a Tan Dodge Ram quad cab, U-Haul trailer and Midnight Blue Z28. Anyone else planning on early arrival??

Dave, maybe it's not too late to grab a Uhaul trailer like I did. If you have a class 3 hitch on the Avalanche, $50/day for the trailer! You don't need no stinking tail lights for the quarter mile dash!!

JimM.......are you still looking to borrow the Mickeys? What size wheel studs do you have on the vert......7/16 or 1/2??

Tom, absolutely, I got 1/2" studs so your regular lugs will work. By all means let's try em and see if they clear the calipers.

I got another dumb idea for traction... I need some stone for landscaping, so I'm off now to load 6 60lb bags of gravel in the trunk. That should help some, eh?

This *&^#% thing should get deep in the 13's if I can get her to hook... 2.3 sec 60's are so annoying I'm considering taking the vette!

What you gain in 60' you'll prolly give up trying to muscle another 360# down the track, would be like having 2 more riders with ya! But you already know that!

If you opt to bring the vert you are welcome to the Mickeys..........vert or Vette, either way should be a good time!

She sure does ride low with 9 bags of gravel in the truck! Doesn't say how much each bag weighs, guessing 40 lbs, don't feel like 60. It's much harder to light em up driving around town tho.

We'll see. If she hooks, I'll "tune" by removing 1 bag at a time!

Yes, that pic is directly north of fence, right where the entrance to the staging lanes are. Always nice to pull back and park on the pavement, not grass.

I will not be running my car, but I am driving her down with my dad. Coming from rte 173 area, north of Rockford. Leaving around 9:00, arriving around 9:30, if I drive the speed limit. :D


Jim, an inexpensive set of $300 cal tracs will solve ALL your problems with traction. (Or $20 gravel) lol

Weather looks great. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and watching some good racing all day.

See you there.

ok, readt to run, washed her, topped off the oil (used 4 oz going to KC and back!) Decided to take 3 bags of gravel out, not riding so low now. :D
Off to the cub scout camp out, see ya all at the strip tomorrow!

Thanks for the offer gents, but the dash is apart since I figured I'd look for a few other things while deep in there. Next year for sure or maybe a Fall get together. See ya in the A.M.

Dave

I live in Kissimmee Florida but my work has me here in Rockford for the next 6 weeks. I am actually staying in a friends house in Byron who is in PA for the next 10 weeks, much better then a hotel. Today I went to the Good Guys show at Chicago Speedway, thanks to a TC member I wouldn't have know it was going on. Tomorrow I had already planed on going to the track. Hope to run into some of you...........

Wow, talk about a long hauler!!:D We got to put together some kind of an award for you buddy. Hope to see you there Jim.

Tell the cashiers at the gate you're with Chevyteam.com $25 runs all day $10 to spectate. We will have our own staging lanes too!!!!
This is important to note, it may be more expensive to spectate with the quick 16 bracket if you don't tell them it's a club weekend!!!!!! See everyone in about 11 hours.

Just a curtious note..... I will not be there today. Chloe, my female Rottweiller, passed this morning at 3:30am. She was 11 and my wife is beside herself. My daughters will also be devestated. Sorry guys. Next time for sure.


Jim M,

Have the tool all packed up. I will be there Wednesday or Thursday to drop it off. Hope nobody else needed it. If so, I will deliver to their home.

Regretfully,

Dave

Kinda an anticlamatic day. WAY crouded. Waited hours in the staging lanes baking on the blacktop, and only got 2 runs in. First run (6 bags of gravel in the trunk) she hooked up great but then bogged pretty hard, 14.3 @ 96... Second run I took 2 bags of gravel out, staged and when I took my foot off the brake, she rolled thru the beams. Got PO'd at the big red light and smoked the tires all the way thru first.... Didn't get another run, tho did wait in the staging lanes for a hour and a half before giving up.

I think 5 bags of gravel and leaving at 3k instead of 2300 woulda gotten me a 13.

Met some new Team Camaro Friends and hooked up with some old friends, so that's always good. Mike, saw your red 67, don't think I saw you tho. Jim, you get the long distance award, all the way from Florida. Tom D. gets the hard luck award, lunched his clutch before I even got there. Jay, thanks for joining me, next time bring your own car!

OK. I'm here guys !!! Where are you? Guys?... Guys? Anyone here? I met Jason & Tom. Sorry Jim, must of missed ya. Although I saw your car once when you drove by. Then couldn't find ya.

But I'm still looking for everyone else that said they were coming. Oh well.

VERY hot day watching the drags. Weather man was off again. Nice cars (all 300 of them). Saw a couple 6 second passes, one at 204 MPH.

Then saw my car damn near overheat in a traffic backup on way home. She only got to 250 ! LOL

Hope to see more guys next time, unless we set up a dyno day before that.

Later.

Enjoyed meeting you guys. JimM, PM me and I will tell you where to send my award ;)

Jim

I was there with my youngest son, Brandon and raced the work truck LOL. I found JimM by his car and then met Jason (chevelle) and Jim from FLA. I saw the Nova but didn't meet the driver. If there is a next time I'd like to see more info on the board so it would be easier to find people I don't know. I left late so I proballay would have missed the meeting time but it might have helped to find people anyway. OK done B*****ing. We still had a great time. I got 5 runs in, 3 or 4 of those between 4:00 and 5:00. 1st pass like a movie... "up in smoke" 18.025 E.T. 8.77 R/T 2nd pass (looking for !7.9**) 16.622 E.T. .277 R/T couldn't match it again 16.786 16.864 16.919

Jim, pm sent.

Click, if you're watching this, I be needin another of your "special" awards!

I was there. Arrived at the track around 11:45 AM. I wandered through the throngs of people looking for the Team Camaro folks for quite some time. Not knowing anyone ahead of time made it quite difficult to know who to look for (or where to look for them). So I looked for Camaros at the track and sought out the owners to ask if they were with the "Team Camaro" (I was 0 for 3). So I spent my time helping a friend tune his drag bike.

Bummer, sorry to have missed the opportunity to meet you guys, maybe next time. Of course any day at the race track is a good day:)

Jeff

Mike, Jeff, and Jim nice to meet all you guys. Scott sorry we missed you. For all of you who weren't able to show up and wanted raffle tickets please PM me, I have 12 of them left and would very much like to meet the quota I recieved. Tom, sorry about the car bud. Let us know what you find.
