I hate living 150mi from the track. I was going to go racing today. Made arrangements to borrow a truck, found a trailer to rent this morning and was ready to go. This morning the weather reports said it was raining down there, so I decided to bag it. Well I just looked at the http://www.pacificraceways.com webcam and it's sunny and the track people are starting to set up for tonights racing. Been looking forward to this all winter and it seems I could have made it, but played it safe and missed out. Whine over...
Ray; I feel your pain!!! I live about 90miles from the track here, and it is a ride. Better luck next time.
ray, if your waiting for the rain to stop in washington you'll be waiting a long time. as the saying goes "come to the washington state rain festival. from january 1st to december 31st". one of the first things i had to get used to when i moved from washington was all the sunshine in az. we did get rained out for a couple of races already so i do feel your pain. that was really unususl. good luck and i hope you get to race soon.
Earl, you're about 99 miles from Commerce and about 61 miles from Reynolds. I'm 79 miles from Commerce and 81 miles from Reynolds. Ray, I can't believe you actually paid attention to the weather reports. Not being a wise guy, but next time call the track at about the time you need to leave.
Ray, sorry to hear that man!! Maybe you can make it this weekend?? I feel your pain, I'm a long ways from a track also!! Preston
That sucks Ray. I don't even like driving from Shoreline to Pacific with the 3.50's. The 3K buzzing drives me nuts. We need to get some overdrive trannys! I'm reluctant becuase my c-4 has been fully re-sealed/gasketed and I have a TCI Sat. Nite Special converter + B&M shift kit. Having to swap out all that gear (not to mention the new flex-plate) seems a shame. I can't decide what to do. :confused:
Watched 'em run 'till about 9:30pm then it rained its ass off and everyone left. Maybe week after next I'll go.
I'm glad I live 10 minutes from the track. I could've told you, if it was raining Ray....Let me know when you're going....I'm game. And my 355 gears run all day on the highway @ 3,000 rpm 60 mph. I love the roar of the mufflers....come on down with us Comet155...
I only live about 30 minutes from the track here, and I still only make out there a few times a year, even just to watch. I went Wed, and well, that's the last time I skip church to go to Wed. test-n-tune....
10 minutes from the track. Dayum! Lucky b@st@rd! That would be awesome. Ok, dug out the Indy Profile SS's. I don't have a durometer, but they felt a little like fine grained granite. Applied 2 coats of Traction V and checked back an hour later....I'll be dipped in sh!t...they started to soften somewhat. Looks like I might be able to use 'em after all. Don't expect sub 2 sec 60ft times...now that the SSM lift bars are gone. But with the pressure reduced to 14 lbs......just might pull this off! Gulp!
I'm going to try for the 18th. I posted a brief note Attn: to you on here about trying to get down there Coop, but I didn't think to call you. Silly me!
The 18th. Hummph! I'll alert some fans...see if they'll show up as well. I miss the old days when they had the weekend T&T. Sounds like Ray has a truck/trailer lined up. How do you guys usually pull this off....meet down there or head down in a convoy? Would be kinda nice to have a chaser rig just to be safe on the way down. This way I can kick back with a cold one and supervise while my support staff work on problems if I breakdown. (Bust'in knuckles before a race might upset my reaction time. Tee-hee!)
