not looking for a debate as to why your not going if your not, just wondering what company i'll be sharing if i go. i'm 99% sure i'll be there, its the racing part i'm unsure of. @ the least, i'll be a pit rat for all TX CMC/AI cars. i think Jeff B is planning to do the same for the TX folks.
That's correct GL.
I would paint the car (purple) and put your company name on it if you will pay my expences for the trip.
Jeff Burch
Royal Purple CMC #3
hint hint
Micah and I are going. He is running CMC and I am running TTB.
Plan A: go up and help Adrian and do some cornerworking.
Plan B: beg, borrow and/or steal enough funds to enter the AI(X) #27, just to be a part of the history.
Plan C: Co-drive tow rig and crew for anyone who is desperate for a crew member.
Plan D: None of the above
Plan A- Tow, run the entire week and try to kick butt.
Plan B- Fly in for the weekend to hang out and help.
Extremely unlikely that I'll miss the event altogether, so I'll hang out with you Glenn!

Anyone thought about flying in and renting one of the new GT 350H Mustangs from Hertz???
TTB or C is where they would fall.
Vacation days already planned....practice run to M.O. in early July....doing the savings thing for funding as well as looking to a couple of sponsers for assistance.
If all goes well this weekend after checking the car/motor out.....I am about 85% sure that AI/TX 97 will be at nationals... Once we see how things go in July both with the trip up and the performance against the local crowd, then I will make the committment for September.
Besides, we have got to have some AI presence from TX!!!!
Yes, I plan on being there, racing CMC #5. AAMOF, I've already paid the entry fee. Camping is our plan.
Daron is thinking/planning to go as well. Extra crew members are always a plus. ;)
I've already paid also.
Looks like the majority of CMC cars entered thus far are from our Region, way to go guys! Kick some butt up there will ya?? Gotta love it. 8)

I am suprised no more than that has signed up already. I bet more sign up the closer to nationals it gets.
...and it looks as though I've already raced against more than half of the CMC field before!!!! 8)Quote:

i guess we need to make it a priority to have a meeting and talk about those things we need to talk about, or at least i think so. yes, no?
items to talk about:
-- Caravan? i'm accually thinking of leaving sunday before just to give me an extra day. possibly looking for a local F-body forum member to stay w/ and do last minute prep/check.
-- tools consolidation? de we want /need to talk about this?
-- i'm sure we will all pit together, right?
-- anyone from here run this track before? i know its been repaived, so its gonna be different.
-- anyone have vids and times from/for a CMC car?
-- Camping @ the track? i know we can do it. anyone tacking a motorhome?
-- Grills's? microwaves? local resturants? CMC dinner?
-- Contingency programs? what all is offer to CMC, and are we all in compliance now, by Nationals, or do we care?
-- car compliance? do we need to look over each others cars to get a 2nd set of eyes on things? we dont need any DQ's for stupid shit.
-- thoughts? this is only 65 days away. we are almost @ the last minute. once TWS gets here, it will be last minute?
there's a couple of resent vids from MO here

3 of you go together and buy this
3 car hauler for under $5000
or this
3 car hauler for under $5000
or this
3 car hauler for under $4000
or this
3 car hauler for under $3000
Or haul everyone's car
Renting a Bright tractor for a week or 10 days isn't that expensive.
When you return, sell the trailer and get most if not all your money back.
still waffling here....putting most of the car back together this weekend and TWS event will be the trial run of the "new beast".
If you are looking for lap times for CMC...go to OH/IN region's web site and look up the driver's names....then go search for that driver at Mylaps.com you can usually get all the lap times and detail if you are registered there! AI current lap is a 1:40.xx from robin burnett with most in the 42's....he just keeps running off course and can't be there at the end!
I will know more towards the end of august if I am going. With some of us having enclosed trailers, we should be able to make do pretty well for the 8 days away!
I'm planning on leaving Sunday morning and getting enough rest to run the Tuesday TnT day.Quote:

Did Ryan resign just for Nationals, or with NASA all together? :?
Oops, sorry! He just resigned from Nationals. He's still with us locally! Sorry for the confusion!Quote:
