    actually ive been getting this clicking in my front like you were. did you ever find out what that was? i dont want to bang on it too much. plus then i miss out on all of yalls races. it can be fun to watch. maybe next time when i have more money. i costs me like 100 for drag racing between gas and 1 driver and 1 watcher and food.;) ive been to the drags many times just not here! but we will see yall there! just a lil more than i want to spend on the opening night of this weekend. lol:keke:

    knowledge said it was the axel... but SOG said that it wasn't... basically it hasn't gotten worse in a year... it makes 2 clicks when i turn the wheels fully left and drive in reverse... wierd :confused:

    anyways, ive been drag racing and autoXing and it hasn't gotten worse

    I unfortunately will have to work, but you will have to let me know how the battle between you and Ankur turns out. I think you can take him from a stop.

    Man...this sucks!!! I'm free all month cept the 20th...Stupid Birthday.....I've been looking forward to this 4 a while. Have to try to catch the next one.

    P.S...Milo, you can't have a passenger when racing. A guy in front of me tried when I was there and he got yelled at(track official was a total dick)...

    what better way to celebrate ur birthday than racing?

    i was at commerce a year and a half ago... at that time they let people ride along during races... maybe they changed the rules :confused:

    also at silver dollar, they have a sign saying only one person per car... but i saw a lot of people with a friend in there

    at the last few tracks i was at you could have ride alongs as long as you took them to tech with you. they have to sign their life away on the same sheet you do to drive there. but rules do change. plus i dont have a helmet and im in the 13s so oh well ill be a pusher for those of you who dont wanna keep starting your cars and heating them up. ill race when i get a helmet.:)

    hell i might be in for it, me and a guy that i work with have been wanting to hit the drags there after we leave work for the past month (he has a fairly nice 98 mustang) we have been lookin for a good time to go.... if you could find prices and tell me what hours they will be running up there (how late they will be open) then i can say that me and him will be racing, maybe could get my friend from work and his 78 camaro to come too... just need to know times, prices, where and when you guys will be there...

    usually 20 bucks to race... runs till bout 10 or 11pm

    Kanchou: im racing
     
  23. Mad Mallard

    Mad Mallard the mad mallard

    i got in 4 runs last time i was there last year.

    I suck at teh drag racing... ;p
     
  24. FTZ

    The first time Milo and I went to Silver Dollar for the GA3S Drag event, I got like 19 runs, and could not hit 13 seconds. The second time, again at Silver Dollar I did 7 runs and again could not hit 13 seconds. I could have ran more, but just didn't feel like setting myself up for further failure. I too suck at teh drag racing.


    I am not a straight line racer though. I prefer AutoX or Track Racing.

    i should be there, i get off at 4 and i'll be there sometime after that... prolly around seven, i'll have to get my gf to come, she will prolly hate it but oh well if i dont invite her to come with me on my friday night off (first one in about five months) then i'll be single before to long, lol... but yeah jody (guy with mustang) wont get off till prolly 9:30, maybe he will come after that, i'll have to see if they can let him off earlier, oh and there is a no go on my friend with the camaro, he fried the engine last night at about 1:30 in the morning on his way home (bottom radiator hose came off, not a drop left afterwards)... but i'm pretty sure i'll be there, wont know for certain till saturday though, got some loose ends to tie up...

    yea what time is everyone meeting..i would like to make arrangements to dip out of the office early
     
  35. miloman

    miloman Retired Admin

    whats the earliest people can make it... im pretty much open all day... but anand, ankur and CRXima probably won't be able to make it before 5.30... personally id like to go before traffic picks up and chill around the commerce area (get some food, etc) but i'll go when most people can make it
     
  36. Weapon

    Weapon 90lbs of dynamite Supporting Member
