Quote: Enzom, What time do you think the track will be ready. Do we have the track from 9-5?

I think 9:00 to 4:30. Good running doesn't start until 10 because the track will be cold from the overnight lows. Fortunately, the sun will put heat into the track quickly.

I think you may put me in the 11's,if so I will be forever grateful
I have an electric impact gun&I will bring my 2.5 ton jack from my garage.

No,the run wasn't on the DVD you sent,just that guy recording calling me a c0*ksucker.
Although I am chopping you down at the tree&leaving you at the line in the very first race
Oldgixxer, please make sure you run your car on your new stock tires at least a few times. I really feel your car can do high 11s on stock tires.

I am going to be amazed, shocked and awed if you can match your 1.71 60 ft times. I have seen alot of Modded 55's at least 5 different cars and they are all DR fitted, some with 16" rims..........All of the 60 ft times are 1.70-1.77.You will really shake things up if you go lower than your previous 60 ft times. I think they will help you on a poorly prepped track but seems Atco is far from poorly prepped.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

Quote: OK - Still waiting to hear back from Kevin at Atco, but looks good for Monday. Weather is supposed to by awesome - 40 and mostly sunny.

I have heard from a few others who have asked to join. I have sent them all PM's. If they reply with their names, cell phone numbers and a commitment to show up on Monday with $200, they are in also.

It goes without saying that everyone who comes is doing it at their own risk. So I assume everyone will bring their brains with them.

PS - Drag Radials are in.
PM sent.

i hope its not too late

Enzom,Juicee brought up a good point.What if you drove down on the PS2's and brought the D/R's with you?I wouldn't mind at all helping you swap em out,prolly take us less then 10min.

There could be a *small* chance(it could happen,but doubtful) that you may not best your best 60' w the D/R's and it would be good to at least have(imo) your stock tires w you.I dunno,just a thought.... I have 2 jacks so I dont mind bringing them both down.

Juicee,MB_,my plan of action is to acheive the best possible E.T. w the stock tires,and once I reach a plateau I will then ask Enzom for help.But then my cars not 100% stock so it just wont be the same.If I can manage an incredible 60' time like Josh's 1.69 that would put me at 11.8ish.But I (as well as this entire forum)would be in complete shock if that were to occur.

Weather's supposed to be good,the big storm will be gone by sunday which should hopefully drop the humidity a good amount and allow for some truley amazing runs.I cant wait to see Enzoms 55 on D/R's handin the BMW's their azzes

It's on like Donkey Kong!

Juicee63&MB_Forever have put alot of pressure on me so I dont wanna disappoint.

Chris,I'd like to be at Atco by 9-9:30am,even if we have to wait a lil bit for track prep.I'm taking 287south&getting on Turnpike in Bridgewater,we can meet at the 1st rest stop if you'd like around 7:45am.
I don't recall where you would be getting on 95 coming from the island but it's prolly around newark airport somewheres(exit14).I'm jumping on at exit 10 so we can meet up at the Molly Pitcher rest stop between exit 8A&8

I will be taking the Outerbridge which would put me on the Turnpike I @ exit 10. We could meet up at any rest stop after that. Just name the time and I'm there (have a buddy following me with a 335)

I don't mind getting there early. Will give the car a chance to cool. I am really looking forward to this day. I have never run my car under 'ideal' conditions. At E-town it is always packed and by the time U get to the staging lanes the oil temp is well over 100 and the coolant not far behind.

It is cool that the two of you want to meet up at a rest stop on the turnpike.

DRs are on, but *** tire rack forgot to send lugs and spacers. The new lugs are 52mm. Trying to figure out the length of factory lugs.
