Lapeer with FiveO

[Hack Goby]

FiveO is coming to Lapeer to see some of his old SHO buddie`s who are having a SHO get together.I know that Lapeer is not a very good track with dirt Pits and a rough 1320 but does anyone want to go and make a day of it?The website says you need a helmet no mater what class so I went out and pick one up today and I am looking forward to see how my car runs with the new gear and chip setup.This is a poor second to Norwalk on friday but it`s the only one I can make.link (http://www.lapeerdragway.com/) Weather Link (http://www.crh.noaa.gov/forecasts/MIZ062.php?zo=1&city=Lapeer+County)

I'm set to get there mid morning....just hope the weather holds out.

I'll be keeping a close eye on it friday afternoon and early evening before I leave.

If you know of any local websites for weather info there...please post 'em!


Heck...I may even come out anyway....if it rains....I could just go with you people to Capers :lol:

Forecast is Showers with scattered thunderstorms. Otherwise mostly cloudy and breezy. Highs 61 to 65. If the weather holds I will see you guys there. If not Capers is a good second choice.

I'm goona try to break away to Norwalk (if I can get off work). If that doesn't work out, I'll try Lapeer if the weather holds.

80% chance of thunderstorms on Sat.Things are not looking good.

[FiveO]

No there not....unfortunately.

I'm coming rain or shine. This is my last little trip for the year and even if we don't get a chance to run....I'll still have a good dinner with friends....my SHO friends...and my new Marauder friends!

Either way weather wise....I'll be pulling into Lapeer about 11am or so.

Well if your coming I guess I will take the ride out and see what happens.Maybe we will get lucky.

[bigslim]

The rain will make me stay away from the track. I can however maybe make the dinner.

I think I counted 16 SHO`S today at Lapeer plus FiveO and myself with our Marauders but Mother Nature didn`t want to play nice.The track was only open about a half hour then the drizzle started and we didn`t get a run in the rest of the day.I got two runs in the first being a new best of 14.594@97.13 the second run the drizzle had just started and I got a good launch but when the car hit second I started to go sideways so I got out of it and coasted.There were no more than 30 cars at the track.It stoped for a while and we ran all our cars up and down the track to dry it but as it got close to drying it would start up agian.Mark did a few burnouts for the SHO guys. I have video but I will throw in a few frame grabs until I get the rest done tomorrow.Then the rains came and that was that. http://home.comcast.net/~hack_goby/Grabbed_Frame_7.bmp http://home.comcast.net/~hack_goby/Grabbed_Frame_3.bmp http://home.comcast.net/~hack_goby/Grabbed_Frame_14.bmp
