Figured I'd throw this up for everyone, the end of the US TA season is 4 weeks tomorrow (November 7th) at Buttonwillow.

This time it's a co-op of GTA and SLB ran under the SLB ruleset (DOT tires for unlimited and crappier tires for the street class guys 180 vs 140 treadwear)

Obviously with it being a midweek event people have to work but at least for once this entire event will have a live stream on the Global Time Attack | Time Attack Event Series website and I know most of you do your web surfing on your bosses dime so may find it pretty cool to watch.

I can't say who is going to be competing as I have now idea, I would love to see the LIC guys come and hand JC his *** in modified but they have busy family lives (fair play to them!) so this might not happen (if it does I'd be glad to lend our full modest resources to them!!)

We're out there for one thing and one thing only and that's to try put out little clapped out batman mobile into a sub 1:40 time. More remarkable would be that this engine was built and put in the car last October so it would complete a milestone for us in completing an entire season with no refresh or anything (Kinda sad as we have our new big dog motor sitting here on a stand!)

I swear if the engine holds together she's going to Sac drags in full TA trim the week after the event for a fun night of drinking coors lite and getting our hillbilly on shooting for a mid 9!

 

Im gonna try to go and dont go to the drags without me.

 

Damn...that sounds like a good couple days to take off of work!! SLB and drunken drag? Good times!!

 

Don't take the drags as a for certain, I'm liable to lean on the car (engine) pretty damn hard at the SLB/GTA event so can't promise it will still be running by the end of the day!

 

I am down to head out to the Sac drags with yall!

 

So when are you heading down and back up from button?

 

Good luck at the Butt willow Mike.

PLEASE post it on Facebook if you do the drags.

I would not miss that for the birth of my own child.

 

ill be at button for shore already got the time off like ray said what day are u guys heading down

 

We plan on leaving on Tuesday afternoon from the shop no later than 1pm. We're probably going to stay over on Wednesday night and come back on Thursday morning after breakfast as all of our friends from out of state are staying so the after event dinner (party) should be worth it

 

Cool...

I'll see if how much vacation I have. Maybe I can swing Wed/Thurs off. And you know if I'm there the after party is always worth it!

 

Of course if my dad rolls down there with me in the motorhome I might have to behave myself. LOL!

But it'd be worth it to roll down there in a leather recliner watching a flat screen and not using up my own gas. LOL!

 

If your behind the driver you can start your party early right?? If I recall you can drink in moving motorhomes if your behind the driver.

Anyone got a line on a cheap RV???

 

I'd say you could ride down with us but I'm afraid you're not potty trained yet.

 

mike will u guys be staying at the high rollers sweet at hotel GTA (motel 6) again

 

Yup pretty sure just about everyone is staying there, should be a fun night on Wednesday night so I highly recommend either taking the extra day off and hanging out or calling in sick and hanging out
