Trying to guage interest on a track G2G for late model GT's. Propellerhead and Ceyko have expressed interest.. Anone else? Xavren maybe?
If so what Track and night would you prefer? Which would not work at all? I figured it would be best just to do it at a test and tune day. Kennedale has Wednesday, Denton has Friday night and Sunday afternoon..
I think Denton on a Sunday might be best because of the drive some would have to make on a weeknight.
So how 'bout it? I'm anxious to get on a track and think it would be fun with some similarly matched cars.. Meet a few new people, take some photos..
Post up.
BTW.. Obviously anyone else is also welcome..

Denton on a Sunday afternoon sounds good. That way we're not trying to hurry to catch the last hour of daylight.

Hey, there is a group of us going to Denton Friday night for some TnT before the shoot-out next weekend.
Look for 3 mach 1's (black, blue and red) set up by HPP and the fuel shack. I'm trying for a 7.6's (maybe a 7.5 depending on the track and DA), another is going for low 6's and the other is in the 7.8 range. It ought to be fun!

We'll be there. I'm going to try and be there at 7pm and the others will be rolling in a little later.
If I get there before HPP, then I'll set up on the track side of the pits by the time board.

We weren't necessarily talking this Sunday for the G2G, are all Sundays bad? The idea is to get a decent sized group together. I'm still debating on going up to Denton tonight. If I make it out I'll keep an eye out for you. As in my sig I have a red 04 with DFWstang sitckers in the quarter windows. If you see me driving around the pits looking lost flag me down.

Have you been to Denton before? I usually park about midway down the track depending how packed it is. I'll keep an eye out. and about Sunday I was talkin about the track. But yeah I work nights and have a weird work schedule, So any GTG be sure to post in advance. Thanks hope you can make it out tonight.

No denton dragway. Just take 35 north until you get to Sanger there will be a Loves truck stop to the right take the exit right after, once you exit you will come down a steep hill you will see the lights right away.

Yeah.. I'm right in the middle of Denton and Kennedale so I've got a 30 - 45 min drive either way. I may be up for Kennedale next Wed..

If it was a 1/4 mile track, I'd go for sure. But who knows, I may get an urge to race after work and show up.

I have always been curious as to why they don't have more 1/4 tracks around, not an expert on the details on building a track, anyone know

Chili - Did you make it? I saw a red GT last night but didn't get a chance to stop by.
If not, you didn't miss anything. The track wasn't really hooking good and best I could get was ton's of 8.0X.
I'm taking the car back by HPP here in about an hour and have them take a look at the two step again.
I'll try to get out to Denton tomorrow for a couple of hours for a little more TnT.
Later.

Were you on pro stars last night. Quite a few Mach ones' last night. I was there in Shadow grey 04 gt parked next to a white z28 w/orange racing stripes.

Yeah that was me. I got there late and wanted to get started racing. You should have stopped by.
How did y'all run last night? My 2 step was messing up and wouldn't disengage so I had to switch to the street tune for the night.
Oh well. I might try Sunday for a couple of hours once the two step is tweaked.

Yeah, I was out there. I saw a couple of Mach's (one red, one white) but don't recall a black one. I may stop up there for a while tomorrow to try out this new shifter. What time do you think you'll be up there?

There was a write up on it in the June 5.0 Mustang, Tech Inspection section (second from last page) which is what prompted me to get it. I ordered it Thursday morning and it came Friday evening for an extra $12. I got the red "cruiser" handle which is still quite short. The cool thing is that you can rotate it towards yourself so the position is similar to my stock shifter.

Later.
