Wanted: GXP Racers (and G8 GT Racers too)!

[bracketracer]

Looks like i will be there. Girlfriend wants to come too but thinks it's gonna be too cold. I said sit in the car till i get to the line then i'll be back in about 13 seconds, hopefully. Haha.
Maybe i can keep up with a GXP. Kim.

Glad to hear you will be there! I am bringing my girlfriend too, but she already knows she need to dress in layers. The air is going to be so good that I will be fine if I just get in a number of timeruns. I seem to recall being able to get plenty of runs in at this event in the past. Rain sounds like it will hold off until after noon, and there's only a 30% chance. Glad to hear I won't be the only G8 there. Look for my GXP in the pits, and I'll try to save a space for you!

I can't believe how bad my luck has been with Mother Nature this year! I drove 200 miles to Cordova this morning, only to find out the event had been cancelled for SNOW! They got reports of measurable snow falling in Des Moines that was heading east, so they decided to cancel. In their defense, I did drive thru snow flurries on the way home about an hour later, but nothing to accumulate. I am most disappointed that we didn't get to make at least some time runs. The Density Altitude was reading 500 feet BELOW sea level, and we had an offset tailwind. My weather station was predicting 13.04, but I think I could have gotten solidly into the 12s with a good launch. I did see a custom IOM G8 GT leaving just as I arrived, but they disappeared before I could talk to them. Was it a member of this board? Oh well, now I have to hope that the weather holds long enough for me to get to the track at least once before the season closes up here. I can almost taste a 12 second pass!

Sorry you didn't get to run. I'm glad I didn't make that drive.

Yeah that was me, i had just gotten the bad news too. We only drove an hour+ home to the south and it didn't rain or snow all day. We actually stopped at a gas station down the road thinking you might go by but i guess it makes sense you came from the north. Rain date next Sat so we'll see about that.
At least i got to give the G8 a good run, then came home, worked on the nitrous setup and used up 2 rolls of masking tape trying to figure out some stripes.
Maybe see you next weekend, anyone else?
Kim, (and Judi)

Ironically you didn't wait quite long enough. My buddy who came down with me (with a high 11 second '75 TA in enclosed trailer) and I went there to fill up our gas tanks, and then we had breakfast at the restaurant next door. Unfortunately, I have to work next Saturday, so I can't be there. If you go, good luck!
