WHEN: Friday, September 14 – Sunday, September 16, 2007
One week after the U.S Nationals, so some of us can try to make it down there ;)

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 @ CASTROL RACEWAY (JB'S POWER CENTRE STREET LEGAL)

-Drivers $25 Spectators $10 Under 12 Free
-After the races we have to go on the annual cruise around town to lay some smack down.
-I will have the shirts and hoodies with me.
-The street legals usually have 100+ cars racing, and at least that in spectators.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 @ CASTROL RACEWAY (TORCO RACE FUELS KING OF THE HILL)
-This weekend is a regular bracket race weekend at the track so there will be a lot of spectators and some pretty good drag racing to watch.
- We will be sharing the track with the bracket racers, but we will have our own (Syclone and Typhoon) class. $50 per car and driver.
-Sorry but racing is limited to Syclone's and Typhoon's only.
-The gates will open at 8am, tech will start about 8:30am, test and tune at 10am.
-This is an IHRA sanctioned track so all IHRA rules apply.
-Car show, so if you don't want to race, polish up you truck and bring it to the show for $20 including admission. Those with out trucks are welcome as well. $20/Adult and $10/Youth and 12 and under are free.
-Also, the staff at Castrol Raceway is great, they delay the tree a few seconds to allow us to build boost at the starting line.
-Please reply to this thread if you are coming and whether you will be racing or not.
-There will be a BBQ and drinks after the track at my place which is just down the highway from the track, same as last year but at the new house. You can pm or email me for directions but most of you can just follow me there from the track. Dinner will be $10 per person, We will supply the pop, but BYOB, will will stop by the Beer store on the way from the track to my place.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16
-Meet for breakfast.

Thanks for co-ordinating and organizing the Nats events again Cam.
I can't imagine where you find the time with the two lil sandwich grabbers at home. :rotf:

I'll be there with whatever sytys I have at the time. Maybe have the funny car out there as well, not sure what's planned for it then.

I will be coming but it depends on what I find out when I pull the heads on the Sy as to whether or not I'll be bringing the truck

And as Tony said, thanks to Cam for taking the time to organize the Nats.

COLD?????? It still has not got warm around here yet. Rain, Rain, and more rain. Maybe we can split the difference from the last two years. Shitty cold and rainy or 800 degrees. LOL


I'll try not to break my truck the day before the nats this year.................although we may head down to Kansas the week before and I will run the crap out of my truck there if we go.

Hey Cam, (i think this post was lost in the server malfunction)

Are you looking into doing hats this year? I know I'd be interested in a couple for sure.

Cheers!

Not trucker hats, I want to be proud to wear the hat. I don't want people to point at the hat and laugh.
