If anyone is interested we can meet at my house.. Im just a mile south of Hwy 94 just West of the 494/694 interchange.. Rockfalls is exactly 80 miles from my house.

Tony, thanks for offering.  That works for me.

What time do you suggest we meet at your house to get to the track at a decent time?  Say meet at your house by 7:30 a.m. to put us there around 9 a.m.?

Maybe we can talk Delke into bringing the mobile tail gate grill if we pitch in for food!

Id say meet at 7... Rolling at 7:30.... That gives us some time...I like to get down there early.

Sounds good! 

When we get a little closer, I'll post another reminder and have John D. send out an email to all members for the date/time reminder.

Hopefully others will chime in that they can meet up at your place at 7 a.m.

I know it'll be more fun to drive down together and I don't mean to discourage that but for the guys in the South metro, it would be 15 miles shorter to take Hwy 42 to Hastings and go North to US 10 and run that to Durand. You pick up WI 85 there and it takes you right into Rock Falls.

If going to Tony's first, Rock Falls directions have you going to exit #65 and back tracking. I did a mapquest and they had me exiting at #52 which is US12/WI29. Go north under the freeway and take an immediate right on US12. Run that parralel to the freeway to S. Holly Ave. Turn South and that runs right into WI85 and is showing an 8 mile savings on distance.

I wish with all my might that I would've had the '66 ready for this but there's no way.....  If we do it again later in the year, I should be ready.

Does that mean you're bringing the Camaro Mitch?

Our Township clean-up day is the 21st and I've got a TON of junk I would like to take there

The Camaro Club Spring Cruise is that day too. I'm so confused, I don't know what to do.....

I would like to go, but I'll be out of town. Going to head there tomorrow (15th for test and tune). I see they are having 4 muscle car days this year,

Four (4) Muscle Car Only Drag Races will be held in 2011. The dates for those races are: Saturday, June 11 (Rain Date of Sun. June 12); Sunday, July 10; Sunday, August 7 and Sunday, October 2.

They draw alot more cars for those and nicer ones to boot (all old stuff). They run 1/4 second brackets, so it's heads up racing and alot more fun. I shall try to go to at least a couple of those.

 The Muscle Car Drags sounds fun too and we may have to keep it in mind as Plan B since the forecast for next weekend is showing rain both days..  ARGH!

 At my Fleet Farm none of the helmets were SNELL APPROVED. They only had "Raider" brand with DOT approval. What Fleet Farm did you get yours at ? What brand was it ?

 Houston, we may have a problem... Somewhere on the forum (I can't find it now...) I thought someone said the DOT helmets were o.k. down to 11.49 seconds so that's why I bought the Raider DOT helmet from Fleet Farm.  That's all they had.

Looks like I will need to find a Snell 2005 or newer one quickly... 

Helmet issue resolved by Jegs:

HJC Helmets 59-3602 - HJC CL-31 Open Face Snell M2005/DOT Helmet

$69.99 ea.

 

Will be delivered Thursday.

 

The Fleet Farm DOT helmet will become garage art, but that's o.k. as I'm only into it for $35...
