Anyone up for drags this Sat. at PIR?

[GrooveNerd]

Anyone wanna meet up at PIR this Saturday evening? Should be nice weather.

In other news, I just replaced my A/C condenser tonight, as well as my power steering cooler. I still need to replace the lower grille, the A/C accumulator and recharge the system, but at least I can drive the car again! Yay! Hopefully I can wash the thing this Saturday, 'cause its just nasty dirty...

Even with Saturday's "slight chance of an afternoon shower" the track should be dry by 6 or 7 pm...

Marty, as it stands at 7 am on Saturday, I figure I'm better than 50/50 on going to PIR tonite, a friend and son are interested in going to check it out.

Not sure yet whether I'd race if I go.

Post again if you're pretty sure you'll be there.

As of now I'm planning on going, but not racing, as well. I'm going out to wash my car as soon as I get off here. I called a friend of mine too, but I'm not sure if she'll be able to make it. Hopefully this intermittent rain will be finished later this afternoon. Anyone else coming?

Alright. It's friggin' raining, so we called the meet off. Stupid rain.

I've got to get my fuel pump replaced, but if I can get it done soon, I'd definitely be up for some late night fun. I haven't been down since I sold my turbo Miata a couple years ago, and miss it. I'll get my butt handed to me most of the time, but that's ok.

Hey, welcome to CEG! What year/model of the car do you have? Nice screen-name too -- LOL!

Yeah, hopefully the weather'll cooperate one of these weekends and we can have a meet there. It's still fun to go, even if you don't win every time.

Hehe, AngryRedTicTac was actually my Miatas name, and it fit very well.

I've got an 00 SE Sport V6 5spd, we've had it for about 3 years now. I wanted an SVT of course, but my wife wiped out her piece of crap 00 Jetta (Hallelujah!!!!!), and we had to get a car immediately. There was only one SVT for sale within a couple hundred miles, and the kid was expecting to get the 3k back out of the stereo he'd put in it. It was still for sale 6 months later......

I used to frequent PIR late nights, I had a big angry bellowing 455 4spd Trans Am that turned high 12s on crappy BFG TA radials, when it would hook up anyway. Which meant basically never. That's why late nights were nice, since bracket racing it was a joke. The Miata didn't get to play too often, it was only a low 14 car anyway, and it was built for track detail, not drag racing. Then again, how many Miatas are built for the drags?

I just got the Contour from my wife a month ago, I'd been driving a Volvo 960 wagon since our son was born a couple years ago. We got her a Mazda5, which is just about the best little thing ever, now that our second is on the way. One way or another I was going to have a manual again, it just worked nicely that I got the Contour and she got a 5 spd 5. Now I just have to decide whether to dump more money into the SE or just get an SVT.

Welcome to CEG. I already think you have great taste in vehicles. I drive a CSVT & my wife drives a Mazda5. We wanted a 5 the first time we saw one.

Anyway, back on subject. I agree with Marty, the late night drags are a good time & it's been one of the few events that we can get a decent group to show up for. I look forward to meeting you soon.
