Anyone still interest in a drag day at St. Thomas?

There had been some discussion in the past about having a day at the drag strip on July 12/03. So I'm curious if anyone's still interested.

St. Thomas is outside of London Ontario. They are having a Niagara Mustangs + Test & Tune on the 12th as part of their "Ford Weekend". It costs C$30 and you can run as much as you like. If there's interest, we could co-ordinate a BBQ, or just be lazy and have "track food". No alcohol permitted on site.

I've drag raced a few years ago on a regular basis (low 11's @ 115mph in a pickup) so I can ride along if anyone hasn't gone before and would like to try it. Saturdays are usually pretty laid back and everyone is very helpful. New people are always welcome... I'll even buy a new bottle of shoe polish for the occasion!

Last year my car ran a best of 15.0 @ 95mph with a Diablo chip and a K&N (not to mention crappy traction - 2.30's 60' times). It's fun to go out and "wind it up" once in a while... and unless you've got some supreme power additives or super-grip traction, you'll never hurt anything.

So, is there some interest?

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to pass on this event. As much as I'd like to go, I regret that I won't be able to. I sure hope some other guys decide to go. I'm sure it will be fun. Thanks for asking.

Jim;

Thanks for trying to set this up. What time on Saturday? I will be in Windor on Friday and could stop by on the way home.

Given the limited amount interest, we won't have an official "track day".

However, next time I'm heading to the track, I'll give you a heads up if you'd like to join in.

Unless, anything comes up earlier - see ya'll on August 10 (Show 'n Shine, Fines Ford, Bolton ON ... details to follow)

All the best,

I've been holding off on making a commitment to this date until I was sure my calendar was clear. I'd like to go; is anybody else still interested?

Weather forecast is calling for showers Saturday afternoon. If it's not raining at 9:00AM I'll likely take a chance on going. I'm going to want to get my runs in early if rain is still forecast.

Maybe I'll see you there, Randy.

Well George, if the weather looks good I just might hook up and go... I'll send you an email with some contact info. Maybe we can do a two-man caravan from Oakville!

....hmmmm 17C in July looks tempting, but the weather looks a bit questionable
