EVENT DATE: Friday, November 12, 2004 (3pm-11pm)

Only 60-90 cars are going to be allowed... $100 fee paid in advance

The next day is the street legal drags isn't it? Not that it matters...if enough people were in I'd probably DROP the $100. I'm kinda getting to the point now though that without more mods it will get old fast....this will probably be the lsat time I go...just to work on the cars best time.

My DW and and I are old people, been married long enough to know better, and she helped me install the CAI on my last car, a '01 Intrepid R/T. Then she said the exhaust needed a bit more sound. Woo Hoo!

Dang Peter I was signing on to post that I can't go. My business partners wife just informed me last night that we are doing a suprise Bday party for him that night, and this is my boy so I can ditch it. BUT....it does start at 3...and I don't have to really get out there till like maybe 9....how early will you be going?

I'm thinking about gettting there around 3. Not a big deal if you can't go. Hopefully a couple other guys will sign up.

I have to wait a bit before I can sign up to see how my schedule pans out... you think if you sign up once, you can bring two cars? I mean, I can only drive one at a time... right?

speaking of weird, did you mod your exhaust yet? Did peter or bill? or any of the local guys? :?:

Did Peter get hitched yet or can we use his pending end of free life as an oppoirtunity to get together somewhere? :wink:

Wedding is Nov. 13th. and my freedom will be intact afterwards. 8)

I've been in contact with JBA about using my car to prototype headers and exhaust, but it's been almost a month and still no word. I've talked to a guy on another forum and his car was used by Gibson for an exhaust system so hopefully that will be out soon.

I think my next mod will be lowering with Eibach springs. If I don't hear FROM JBA soon, I may just get some Flowmasters welded in. :roll:

The Nov. 5th drags would have been a cool get together, but the stars and planets don't seem to be lining up for that.

So are you lowering your car red? I want to know if bigdaddy has lowered his yet.
Cucamonga Red RT
10-19-2004, 12:31 PM
No lowering for me. Only mod left is the exhaust. I want to see how it turns out for you guys that have exhaust mod eminent.

I love my second wife dearly, and I am so happy with how much latitude she lets me have :roll: , so I wish you a very happy married life, but freedom intact after wedding? :?:

Read the thread on "Wife Friendly Mods", there is a reason for that.

Cucamonga Red RT, if you are going I will join you. The mustang should be ready by then. If not I will bring the Vette.
