Weren't there only 15 CEG'ers at Carlisle last year? I thought I remembered people getting upset that there wasn't the turnout that they hoped for.

Anywho, like I said, nothing is set in stone. I'm just throwing out ideas as I see fit. Not knowing anything about Carlisle, and not having any inclination of going, I threw out the first week of June as a possibility. The only thing I can think of, is making it one of the last weekends in May like it has been, and we go straight from the dyno to the track. We'd have to go out to the track we tried out last year, but only get out there a few hours earlier.

This may be the way to go Mark. straight from the dyno to the track. It's almost like the ideal way to go: Back up your dyno pull with a track time!

IMO, this is the notrious CEG. Its going to be hard to get a turn out no matter what. Plan and set the date. If people want to come, they'll come. Like you said, you arent going to be able to cater to everyone's needs.

Sort of how we were going to back up our dynos with that $20.00 bet on the better 1/4 mile time?

I agree any date will not work with everyone, but it seems like scheduling a meet the same time as another one isn't a great idea. I personally won't be able to make SZ if it is the same time as Carlisle, but if they were on different dates, then I could attend both.

I probably won't have any F/I on the car, but I'll still give you a good run in the 1/4 mile. My 2.1 60' to your 2.3+(assuming you don't frequent the strip) and my willingness to slam gears John Force style, should put us pretty close. I'm thinking 14.1-14.2 should be doable, and you'll be fighting traction(especially with those 18"s), so I don't see you going deep into the 13's.

But then again, I just might have to pickup a ZEX kit and let you feel the wrath.

Good, then you might stand about a snowball's chance in hell of beating me.
