Yeah me three!. Big power cars tearin it up? Why not right? Somebody figure out how to get to that strip and tell me where to meet you and we'll do this thing. I'm not too familiar with Commerce. :hs:
Commerce dragway, we'll be there around 2-3pm. I'm going to get a quick tune fri morning on C16 before going to the track. Hope a few of you can make it out!
im guessing its this one http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.ad...geway+rd&city=commerce&state=ga&zipcode=30529
ok... looks like im gonna make this one... anyone know when commerce opens? c'mon guys... u guys should come out and show some support for a fellow subaru owner who drove a long way to come here and kick some ass at the track
Wait you have an STi and an LGT that are both highly modded??!?! I need to find a new line of work... maybe I can be a highly paid hand model...
Yeah, it is kind of a long drive. But a lot of folks are meeting up at SOG and then ridin up as a group. That always makes the long boring ride a lot easier to bear and if gas is an issue don't hesitate to ride with me. I decided to go since I found out about the caravan going up and SOG is on the way back so, you know, you can leave your car there. I might even be bringing some rootbeers with me. :ddirty:
I'll be there. If you are serious about wanting my old short block I'll find a way to bring it. Does anyone need any C-16 for the night. I have a 5 Gallon sealed can for sale and I'll be at the track.
Ok now I would've taken an opportunity to ride with someone else from SOG, but a friend of mine is coming in town tonight and we're going to the Braves game. Have a good time. Take lots of pics!
The track was awesome after they finally opened it up. They did get it really clean so I guess it was worth the time, but it kind of sucked at the same time because some people only got one run. I got two, but that was basically just enough for me to figure out that I still need a lot of practice to be fast on the quarter mile.
It was cool meeting everyone, my co-worker almost got beat by a truck but he pulled it out at the end.
Those big diesels are no joke though. Some of em' run like 60 PSI with.... whatever that stuff is they're injecting nowadays.
i had a great time at the track! My STi was having some top end issues, bad spark plug. I ended up running a best of 11.44 at 126mph, and my lgt ran 14.11 at 95mph . I trapped 101mph in the 8th most of the night, but didnt want to run 5th gear out of fear for getting tossed (which ended up happening). it was nice to meet some of you guys. I'll be back up that way soon, STi is at TopSpeed getting a new engine build and will be ready in a few weeks.
