BOP Bremerton Race Way Sunday Sept 13, 2008

Is this on Saturday 9/13 or Sunday 9/14 ?

Me thinks it's on Saturday, not Sunday.

 

It is Saturday 9/13- The Flyer is attached to the first post in this thread.

Waether forecast looks like it is going to be perfect! Sunny 70-80 degrees

 

Are we getting ready BOYS & GIRLS?

 

Just waiting for a missing part in my HR-Parts swaybar kit. :rant:

 

Decided you want to launch even for a change, huh?

 

I'm ready Mark!!!! Just 2300 miles away:ball:

 

I will take some pics of the fancy cars for you, Lee. Maybe someone will take some video of the race cars and post to U-tube?

Lee, speeking of pics, I do recall asking you to post some pics of yours..did you?

 

Does anyone that's been to this event know anything about the car show?

If I show up as a race spectator, what's a good time to be there?

Cheers
Jeff ~

 

It is a great time, gates open at 7 am for the racers mainly, car show folks start trickling in then and it picks up around 8-9 for sure; show spectator will see the full enchillada from around 11am on as the weather is going to be great, racing spectator may want to get there around 9 and I bet more folks keep rolling in all day with nice drivers.

Head out there!

 

Just trying to keep it out of the other guys lane. :TU:


Made for some good pictures though...:kodak:

 

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Friday Eve Baby!

Playing hookey Friday to get ready for BUICK...o...p. Saturday.

The new meats did not show up today as promised; I hope I don't have to run the old BFG's, so hopefully they show tomorrow am?

Short list includes:
1) final safety inspection
2) rear dif service
3) final tune

Wifeeee can not make it- pit crew = solo. I plan to drive out and bag out on trailer plan so run what I brung.

I hope to convince tech to allow the vert to run 1/8th's and sneak a 1/4 on the way out.


No crashy breaky :TU:

 

The weather looks to BeUICK just right. PontiACK a lunch and some gear and let's GtO have some fun! :TU:

 

I'm planning on bringing a camera, so I expect to see you launch with the wheels up, MarkO!

 

I hope the race Fuel is there as I plan to show up on vapors...a few years ago they did not show and I had to run the BUICKAMINO on pump gas ou:
Skins are in the trunk; Brand New, Zero Mile BFG's-The M/T's did not show up today as expected?

Is Dave Coming / racing old Blue?

 

Ha HA! Steve, the wheels will be up, but to get off the ground I would have to sitting in the trunk and we will have disconnet the front shocks! :laugh:

One thing is for sure, we are gonig to ask her to give it her all!

 

I hope I did not mess anyone up..by now I hope everyone realizes that it is Saturday 9/13-> Tomorrow, not Sunday like the thread heading reads:spank: I was looking at the bleepin July calandar when I posted this thread way back when;

I am fired.

 

You messed me up, I actually thought I would be able to attend this year when you said it was Sunday. Saturday I have soccer and football games with the kids spread throughout the day so I won't be over.

 

Chris, cheer the kids on!!!

I did not even realize that I had the error until the question was asked a couple posts back; hopefully folks looked at the flyer in the first post and checked a calandar to realize the BOGUS info!

 

Well what happened? Pic's?:kodak:

 

Hi Lee,

Hopefully Steve can post some pics? I have not checked if I got any good ones on my camera.

I was not allowed to run as tech required convertible top to be up to run. I have frame only ( with boot cover) until the car gets painted one day, so..No Top, No Roll Bar= NO run. Despite that inconevience, it was absolutely perfect weather for all the great guys and gals who showed up there; well worth the 45 minute drive in the ragless top, oh, and some great cars there to boot.

Thanks Bremerton RaceWay, a great facility and folks and they draw great crowds-

Met a guy who is not on the board (doesn';t do computers...) local guy who had an original 4speed GS 455- he got it from orig owner who did not take very good care and she loved to party and go sideways and the rear qtrs show it. He has it and plans to keep it just as is. He ran a about flat 14though as I think he was shifting way too early; crisp shifts however, so if he keeps an eye on the tach he will be able to get that thing down there a bit quicker next time.

Mark Burton (Justa350) was there with his car- what a project with the twin turbo 350. <- He even got props from the tower man!:beer

Its always great to see Jim D and his most supporting wife at the car shows in his Original Owner GS Stage 1 car; <-(yes, he bought it new in 69 I believe and you bet folks, that is the original ( recently rebuilt) engine in there :beer ) It just goes to show _DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE YOUR CARS! (I drive the heck out of mine!)

There was a very well done red 71 that had a 4 speed FI 455 with all sorts of added goodies. Neat car other than the Chelleve paint stripes:spank: That car had a lot of effort put into it!

Tons more there.....See everyone next year!
