it appears that there is still some interest in heading down to the whare shoals drag strip. so far, the days suggested are this friday, the 4th, or next friday, the 11th.
any preferences or ideas? _________________ 08-09 CSCC Treasurer

I need to get a couple mounts polyurethanized (they should be arriving soon) so that I finally have those transmission movements reduced and I can actually shift instead of missing gears literally every other pass. I'd like to organize something up though; last time at Commerce was awesome.
Someone who is a little less busy, look up the Fast Friday's on the Commerce website. The cool air will be a huge help, hopefully I'll be able to be a little faster than 15.800 lol. _________________
Ryan, Cody (GTfan712) is 17, and his parents for some reason will let him autocross the hell out his car, but won't let him drag race. Personally I think autocrossing is far more abusive to his car/tires/suspension than drag racing would be to his engine and transmission, but yeah, he needs to find a way to convince his parents that the drag strip really isn't that bad... because honestly, it isn't, at least for his car.
Either that, or he needs to do it without his parents finding out. _________________
Ah ok makes sense. So I'm guessing his tire comment was based on the fact his parents won't pay for his tires if he drag races the car. _________________ Club Secretary (2009-2010)
He's got a set of 18 inch Mugens on the way (got a killer deal for them), he's looking for tires to fit with them. His parents just think that drag racing is unsafe and that he'd completely lose control and crash into a wall or something lol. He has to pay for insurance for his car (considering he's only 17, its quite horrible), but it isn't as bad as having to pay for a brand new car himself. (He lives in Matt Joos's neighborhood, btw)
But yeah, basically its a matter of convincing his parents that drag racing his car is safe, I think. I say we invite his parents out to the drag strip/autox. My parents have come to wayy too many of our autocrosses lol. _________________
