The Next Next New England Marauder Party

[Paul T. Casey]

So how's Wed. Sept. 3, 2008 at NED work for everyone? This gives everyone 2 weeks to get you $#!* together. :help:

[sd8683]

See that works for me! None of that two or three differant dates, so I can talk to my boss and say hey... I need the 3rd off... Instead of saying I might need the 3rd or the 10th or the 17th off!!!!

There wasn't a set date for the 20th until Friday the 15th for Wednesdays NED meet.

If SOME people can't understand that that's not enough notice, then they can go ***** in their hat!!

[Egon Spengler]

OK... I am game... will keep the calendar open! No ex-girl B/S

[sd8683]

Man I can't catch a friggin break!! I just asked my boss about the 3rd and he brutally shot me down!

[Eric-Blk2004]

I am going to try to go on Aug 29th...prolly just me and myself but whatever do a few runs and head home

[Eric-Blk2004]

Any launching, tire pressure, and general tips for me?!?!!??1

[Pops]

Work with Paul at the track, he is the best and will get you going in the right direction. Just dont bet with him!

[Paul T. Casey]

Any launching, tire pressure, and general tips for me?!?!!??1

Don't listen to John, we can bet. Anyway, I run my street tires at 22 to 24 psi. Start launching at say 1200 rpm. If you don't spin, move up to 1500. Leave when the last yellow light comes on. If you don't go red, try leaving when the next to last yellow goes out. After a few times, you'll be surprised how long the light sequence takes.

I'm game for either the 20th or the 27th. Fridays are just too busy up there. The 20th is good for anyone going to FFW to get some practice in. Maybe do both, the 20th and FFW. That's probably what i'm going to do anyway.

Relax Sean, this was posted on 8-8-08. Don't take it personal, you were working. Will the 10th work for you?

Paul I understand that it was posted on the 8th, but I can't go in to my boss and say I might need the 20th off, or the 27th, that stuff don't fly, its needs to be a specific date, like in this thread (the 3rd) it just so happens I can't get that day off, I'll talk to my boss next week to see about the 10th.

I am going to go on the 29th its a Friday prolly be busy but whatever. If I can talk my friend into it I might go down the 27th instead.

Where and what is NED?

[sd8683]

New England dragway in Epping New Hampshire

[KB-Marauder-S]

New England dragway in Epping New Hampshire

Left the MM unlocked over night in a bad area...

At least they left me 4 new jackstands! Lol

I havn't been there since I was a kid when my Dad use to drive and build Pro Stock.

But a bit far for me to go so I guess I'm out.

[LeoVampire]

I keep my wheel lock on my key ring for fear of that. I live in a good neighborhood but don't trust anything now a days. I even got Lojack for the car with unautherized movment notification. Don't want to go on a trip somewhere and end up without a car.

Lol, we were only joking, I had my wheels off to paint my calipers.

It takes me forever to save for a single modification at a time so I would panic if anything serious ever happend to the car. Once it is paid off things will be cool but right now teight, teight, teight!

I have a list on the wall of all the stuff I want to get. Most of it decoration now but it still adds up to about $5,000.00 when all is said and done. Seeing it took 4 months to save for the spoiler and Wind deflectors you can imagine what it is like wanting to do this stuff and having to wait.

Yeah I hear that, but you'll get there, but when you do there will be another list of stuff to do, lol once you catch the mod bug there is no cure!

That is my 2nd to last performance mod. Then an SCT and dyno Tune @ a performance shop here in Waterbury.

The rest is for looks. There is a big time chromming shop in Meriden I want to do all of the pullies on the car. The stuff @ Colex he made. The god's head's for the front and back of the car.

Blah Blah Blah you get the point. It's frustrating being retired and not enough friends and neighbors around who need car or PC work done to get money faster.

I wish I could go back to work.

[Paul T. Casey]

I wish I could go back to work.

What kind of work did you do?

[LeoVampire]

What kind of work did you do?

When they made me retire.

I could do a few hours for someplace here and there but it would have to be under the table or I would get into big ****. My old job offered to pay me for the rest of my life plus their lawyers made sure I got SSI disability as well.

Since then I learned how to build and repair PC's plus I am awsome at plumbing and electricle work and more. Helped a friend upgrade 2 houses over the years.

The problem is I have to work at an easy pace and no pressure. Stress seems to bring on my heart problems a lot more. Too much damage to the heart now. I can do a car a day easily maybe more if the heat isn't too bad. Not easy without access to a lift though.

You have a pm.

[LeoVampire]

P.S. don't mind my spelling I know it sucks.

[Rocknthehawk]

LeoVamp...in Waterbury? That's where i bought my show truck....I've got a friend that lives in Cheshire. ASE Mechanic...like...you could tell me what the F is wrong with my truck and why it's taken me 4 months to get it running, and figure out the current problem?

i'll pm you the issues if you'd like to take a stab at it.

Do we have a def date for the next epping run? If i can get my **** together i'd like to make it.

Start from the begining and walk me through what is going on. I will be honest without looking at it it's not as easy but will give it a go from what info you get to me. P.M.ing me might be easier than in the normal forum set up. Unless you want to post problem and result for others to help them out.
