[XtremeSaturn]

[Tom N]

I plan to attend and run in power street.

[Scott]

I will see you there as usual. :D

[Ian MMF]

If anyone wants to meet up and share a beer while there PM me. Would be nice to finally put some faces with names. I'll probably be busy around tom doing my job as a 4drwhore. :lol: ;)

[DriftingDJ]

I will be there... If I can just get a roll cage I could race

[SPOONCIVIC]

im running power street i think

[Jesus]

This is going to be a awesome event...hopefully weather permitting...

[Ian MMF]

[Jesus]

Jesus are you going to run the eclipse?Unfortunately no...

[superhatch69]

I will be there for sure

[Kirk]

I'll be there

[Ian MMF]

racing or just show kirk?

[Kirk]

don't know yet, most likely racing depends on what gets done from now until then

[topper]

What cars can run? Everything?

[Tom N]

What cars can run? Everything?


I am not sure how to answer a question like other than to tell you to read the class rules and complete rule book to figure out what class(if any) you can run in.

[Skittle]

In,Me and Ian will be pimpin! :lol:

[AcidiCyn_]

I should be up there. You'll have to buy me the beer though. :beer:

[ls1vett97]

I'll be in, any other "muscle cars" going?

[Ian MMF]

I'll gladly meet up with anyone and throw a few beers back and laugh off the internet drama we have put on for so long. I will be there all weekend but not sure if I will be at the track all weekend, I might be sporting a gf by then and she will want to hit the beach while we are over there, sad sad I know

[InsaneCivicCoupe]

oh shit.. a nopi race at ics' home track.. I think he'll be top dog at this event.

Low blow... :lol:


But no, I wont be at this event... Im not competing this season due to issues with the cars and money issues, although I should have at least one of my cars ready for competition next season...

My coupe still holds the record for the Turbo4 class, so hopefully the new setup will be able to back that up once its done... :D

[InsaneCivicCoupe]

I'll be in, any other "muscle cars" going?


Import muscle... :lol:

[Scott]

Bump

[Ian MMF]

I'll be there both days. I'm pretty easy to find. If anyone wants to meet up to shoot the shit or have a little TR spot in the stands or what not, feel free to PM me and maybe we can set something up. Maybe a pop up cover with a grill and we all can have some hotdogs and beer.

[SleepingB18]

How much does it cost to enter? I didnt see it...

[Ian MMF]

$25 per day or $40 if you pay for both days at once.

[japanbran]

im in.. both days. im in new port richey.. if anyone up this way wants to meet for the ride down pm me

[Holly Golightly]

ill be there both days!! in my nopi chic gear:) ATL nopi was a blast so im hoping this will be just as fun!

[Ian MMF]

Nopi chick gear???

[57trim]

Hey Chris, if you don't mind me asking?
What kinda record are you holding in the Turbo4 class.
The last time I checked the slowest car there runs high mid 11's.

I will be there probably in Bracket 14, trying to find a helmet.

[57trim]

BTW 4drwhore, do you know if Jerry is planning on coming out?
He would OWN in Power Street as long as he has everything necessary to run at the track, which I doubt.

Anyways, hop to see you all overthere. Saturday would be just test and tune for me.

[24-7]

Nopi is a rice fest. The ratio of Race to Rice is very,very low.

[SPOONCIVIC]

this nopi event isnt has good as ATL's. alot less going on cuz its a smaller park,but still very fun the whole week end.ive been each year so far!!i should be bringing the new crx too.

[Kojak]

I'll be in, any other "muscle cars" going?

I was planning on it my fellow Vetter.

[MitsuBucci]

I'll be there. Just running in Bracket 14 this time. Stop by and introduce yourself if you see me. I'll be the fat guy in this car...

http://turbomirage.phpwebhosting.com/pics/shootout_2005/IMG_0524.JPG

[Ian MMF]

How fat are you joe? If you are looking for some real weight reduction I'm less then 150lbs, consistant and have a timeslip with a perfect reaction on it. ;)

I use to have a fwd 4g63 car also. Ran it brackets one night and my e/t's were **.9, **.8 and **.9 all with the same mph and reaction times were .509, .503 and .500 on a .500 tree. :P

[Scott]

Good luck Joe !

I will be getting there after 6:30 on Saturday so hopefully I see you.

[57trim]

I have talked to you before, asking you about how many psi you are running in the slicks I don't know if you remember.
I drive a black Cavalier.

Do you know of anyone else that is going to be in the Bracket 14.
Honestly you should try it in Power Street on some good ass drag radials, you car IS fast enough.

[japanbran]

what time are you guys headin out there

[57trim]

I am probably gonna be going about 2-3Pm I hope I can still enter at that time cause the only thing they are doing with Bracket 14 on Saturday is testing.

[nopiman]

NOPI's heading to Bradenton, I hope to see you all there. Hold off the rain for us because we want to Race, Show and Party all weekend.........

[MitsuBucci]

Nice try Ian.

Hope to see you Scott

I remember talking to the Cavalier guy. Car was pretty fast!

[Ian MMF]

Cant blame a brother for trying. ;)

Hey nopiman can i get a pass for pictures to for TR?

[Holly Golightly]

im excited:) ill be there late afternoon

[Tom N]

My scatter shield is here so I will be there running Powerstreet.

[57trim]

Mitsubucci, the Cavy gets around I wouldn't say it is fast or anything.
12's are ok, now your car is fast.

So far Bracket 14 me and Mitsubucci.
Hey you wanna make a deal, since the prize for the 1st is $400 and the Runner up $100 in the end if it comes down to YOU and ME no matter who wins we split the money.??
So $250 a pop. :lol::lol:

[Ian MMF]

If that's all you were waiting on Tom if it didn't come in time you could have told me. I have mine sitting on a shelf in the garage I could have brought.

[MitsuBucci]

Ha! I really don't expect to make any final rounds.I suck at bracket racing. I always get too caught up in getting a better E.T., I don't focus on actually winning! Oh well.

[Ian MMF]

That's good that you are into REAL drag racing. None of that gay bracket racing bullshit. Thats not real drag racing, IMO.

[Tom N]

I dont care for bracket racing either.
I always sandbag when I do bracket race though.

Lets watch for those red lights Joe.

[57trim]

Well if you don't care about it then why spend the money on it.
Why not just do a open street session and pay only like $35 or something opposed to like $65 for the class.

Me and bracket racing don't get along neither.
Cavy is NOT consistent and I can run for example 12.80 with a good launch and then if a bog with slicks which will most likely happen a run a 13.20 or 30.
Other guys would own me when it comes to that.

Mitsubucci, trust me if it was winning the class or getting better ET's I am gonna break out. :lol:
I don't know about it this time tho, the money is pretty nice.
4drwhore, I cannot reallt race in any class, BUT that one.
Comp4 is N/A
Power street is on drag radials.
Turbo4 guys would OWN me!!

[Ian MMF]

Understood. I was just picking on Joe.

[57trim]

So that is about it for NOPI, only a few of us is going>??
I thought more people would show up.

BTW, I saw a special DSM at a special place getting some work done.
Always a joy to see THAT car rip all 4!!

[MitsuBucci]

Understood. I was just picking on Joe.

Buy me an engine diaper and I'll run P4C. Don't test me!

;)

[57trim]

With the rain and all these shannanigans, seems like noone is going to race anywhere.
Sucks, I hope it is over by tomorrow.

[Ian MMF]

Buy me an engine diaper and I'll run P4C. Don't test me!

;)

You should have told me that to where we had enough time to get it here. If I was willing to donate a turbo don't you think I'd be willing to donate a diaper to see it run 9s and the chance for it to clean the P4C guys out? :crack:

[Scott]

It looks like the rain will blow by my early Saturday.

[Ian MMF]

Yea forcast shows it clear from saturday 2am till about 2am sunday. If it does rain, seems like worse case it will start raining during the bikini contest. What a shame.

[MitsuBucci]

You should have told me that to where we had enough time to get it here. If I was willing to donate a turbo don't you think I'd be willing to donate a diaper to see it run 9s and the chance for it to clean the P4C guys out? :crack:

Ha! I don't know if I'd be cleaning anything out, but it would have been fun anyway.

Really, That's all that was stopping me. I'd have installed the nitrous and went for it if I had an extra $279 for the mandatory diaper.

[Ian MMF]

I guess well just have to wait another day for it then. It wouldn't have been a big deal anyways since I need to get one for my car, I would have just ordered it earlier and let you used it. :crack:

But if you would have shit in my diaper, then we'd be in deep shit.

[topper]

Im going sunday

[Ian MMF]

Looks like nothing but rain sunday. I will be there saturday since it looks clear saturday. Depending on how Joe and Tom do and what the weather turns out to be I'll show up on sunday or not. I'll probably just leave in the morning and go back home.

[DSM95Hybrid]

Some from Orlando will be out. Myself, Rivera, and Geovannie will be attending. See y'all there.

[Ian MMF]

Scott are you guys all leaving at the same time? I'm leaving in the morning also and it wouldnt be a bad idea to have someone to follow.

[57trim]

I don't think it is going to rain on Sunday from what they say.
I guess all this nonsense rain deal is suppose to clear out by nnonn or 2pm-ish on Saturday and then it's smooth sailing for the rest of the weekend.

Even if anything happens Bradenton has like over 50K invested in the drain system so they will bring it back up to par quick.

Hope to see you all guys there.

[MitsuBucci]

Yeah, from what I have seen, sunday will be fine and saturday wont be bad.

[DSM95Hybrid]

Scott are you guys all leaving at the same time? I'm leaving in the morning also and it wouldnt be a bad idea to have someone to follow.

I think myself around 11am -12pm ish. PM me if you are leaving around this time. Rivera, not sure- just finished up working on a big boost leak he had. He should run OK, except that Rolo tuned the AEM with the leak so it may throw things off.

[Jap]

I'll be in Power Street

[topper]

Can someone link me to the event schedule, all i see is booty shaking and shit, i want to know when the racing is going down.
