Halloween Roll Call

[Hilly]

Who's going to make the Halloween race in Boise? I'll be leaving Moscow either tuesday(17th) in the evening or EARLY wednesday(18th).

[VWLover]

What are the dates?? I looked at it online and it showed later in the month of October.

[Hilly]

You're correct. I had the dates wrong.

[BOOGEYMAN]

17th - 22nd are the dates for Boise. I will be there helping out with Prezslers set up as well and Justin is going and I think Jeff is going to make the trip again as well.

Matt,

We are going to go down on Tuesday again I think if you want to meet up on the road somewhere. Last year we got there around 8:00 pm or so and just slep outside the gate and then let us in around 6:30am or so.
I already got some texas hold um lined up for you and Dylan again over and Greg hindmans pit again!!

Travis.

[GetawayInMoscow]

Hilly you said you live in Moscow? Who are you and what do you drive?

[VWLover]

Is it really 700 miles??? I'm looking to get a ride with someone. The gas would kill me!

[il_wolf_li]

I may make it down this year, we will just have to see. Not going to have a car again but it's all good, it's fun just going and hanging out and helping buddies with their cars.

Brian

[BOOGEYMAN]

Is it really 700 miles??? I'm looking to get a ride with someone. The gas would kill me!


NO, it usually takes about 7 hours from spokane to get there.

[BOOGEYMAN]

Brian


Ya right!! You wont go, just like you didnt go to the nationals this year eithor......but I hope you do.

[FNSR]

Is it really 700 miles??? I'm looking to get a ride with someone. The gas would kill me!



Thats a trip huh its only like I----------I <this far on the map the trip to seattle looks longer

[Hilly]

Getaway... yeah I live in Potlatch and work in moscow. Car's not done. But HOPEFULLY it might be running tonight!

I have to go down the other way to Boise. Going to Spokane would add 100miles. But I might leave tuesday. I'll keep in touch. If you get there before I do save me a spot. Thats why I want to leave early so I can a better pit spot. Don't know if my wife is going. If not my buddy Mike will.

[Hilly]

Wasn't it close to 400 miles from Spokane? Going down 95 makes it 300 for me but not as good of a drive.

[BOOGEYMAN]

Ya I think it was around 400 or so from spokane...I am just going to Kennewick on tuesday morning and riding with my buddy Brian in the toter. Thats why I thought we may be able to meet up somewhere. If not I will make sure to save you a good spot wit the rest of us!

Travis.

[Hilly]

So you guys should be there tuesday afternoon? Hell yeah, save me a spot.
Doesn't Prezzler normally run Super Comp?

[il_wolf_li]

I may make it down this year, we will just have to see. Not going to have a car again but it's all good, it's fun just going and hanging out and helping buddies with their cars.

Your right, I wont be able to make it down......I was really hoping to make it down but just found out I will most likely not be going down. Shit happens......... you get one thing fixed and another problem comes up....

[BOOGEYMAN]

Doesn't Prezzler normally run Super Comp?


He runs Top Comp, we put in a new schmidt all aluminum 632 a couple monts ago he bought from frank and it has gone a best of 6.80 @ 199 in seattle. We also got a .998 60 ft out of it this season!! His dad bought a davis vette that he runs in super gas and he will be there as well. The vette got painted just like the dragster and looks awsome next to the stacker!!!

I will make sure you have a spot for sure!!!

Travis.

[il_wolf_li]

May head down for friday-sunday with Dylan and my dad is making noise about going as well.... I think Phil Hudlow is planning on racing down there as well...

[Throttletag]

LOL! We'll have to see about that one. I got one more points race in Walla Walla is all I know. I would love to go if the finances would allow me. I'll know more in a couple weeks.

[BOOGEYMAN]

Phil I know you are bussy with points and Brian wont show up eithor....just talk. :)

[a1320honda]

From Spokane, if you go through the tri-cities, Boise is only 5 hours by the speed limit. Ive personaly made it in 3.5. I lived in boise for 2 years and made the trip prolly 20 times. But hell ya, the halloween classic....Ill be there with a group of friends.

[BOOGEYMAN]

Sweet make sure you give me your numberor something so we all can hook up down there and party it up at the fire.

[MustangGirl]

Who's buying beer cause I'll drink it! ha ha

[BOOGEYMAN]

Who's buying beer cause I'll drink it! ha ha


you going to go this year?? That would be cool! In seattle this year we brought 6 casses of beer and 3 1/5's of tarantula and it still wasnt enough for 4 days!!! LoL

[VWLover]

I have been trying to talk April into going and splitting the gas and shit. I want to go but todd won't let me go alone.

[MustangGirl]

I'm trying, I'm trying......gotta look at the finances......Debbie how many days are you looking at (and what dates)?

[VWLover]

I was thinking Fri, Sat, Sun or maybe Sat, Sun if cost allows. I'm not picky lol

[Metz Motorsports]

What speed limit are you using, cuz last I drove to Boise it was 440+ miles...thats almost an average of 90 mph to do it in 5 hours....

[VWLover]

Holy shit that signature is funny!

[amandac]

From Tri-Cities to Boise takes about 5 hours at 75-80 mph.... done it too many times so I'm pretty pro at it. You'd have to be doing atleast 90 or better to make it from Spokane to Boise in 5...

Thats what I was thining!!! haha It takes me 2hrs and 20 minutes to get to my buddy's house in kennewick and then another 41/2 to 5 hrs to get to Boise from there. To make it in 3.5 hrs you would have to drive 135mph the whole way and not stop for gas!!

[MustangGirl]

Alright children. According to mapquest "Total Est. Time: 6 hours, 41 minutes Total Est. Distance: 427.34 miles"

However, I recently made a trip to the Tri Cities and it took me around 2 hours to get there. The fastest I was going was 75mph (made no stops).

Now stop fighting or I'll have you ground you all! :P

He thought the highway number signs were the speed limit...you know, I90, HWY 395, I84....I suppose if you averaged those as speed limits it would work out. LMAO

Fun fun

[BOOGEYMAN]

Jason you should come to Boise and clean up house!!!

[Kolat]

I've made seattle in 2 1/2 hours, boise in 7 would be cake...and more fun on all those nice roads thru idaho that are nice and twisty.

T

[Kolat]

ha my mapquest has a longer time to get there, but a shorter mileage

Total Est. Time: 8 hours, 43 minutes Total Est. Distance: 389.51 miles

T

[a1320honda]

I was in my 92 hatch and were doin pretty much 110-115 the whole way while still getting a nice 38mpg, gotta love those dx trannies. and no, we didnt stop for gas. granted we were on fumes coming down sunset hill.

[GetawayInMoscow]

spokane to seattle in 2.5 hours? you guys are brave, whenever I drive to seattle I see a cop like every 30 minutes with someone pulled over

[Kolat]

at 150mph the cops have no clue what they just saw heh.

T

[BOOGEYMAN]

Or you have no clue what you just hit........

[Metz Motorsports]

Jason you should come to Boise and clean up house!!!


I wish I could...however I am getting shit for saftey stuff here at SRP...NO WAY I could run there. I have been to the halloween classic before, for the 'air show' at least....would love to go again. maybe next year I can compete.

[twotons]

I am heading down for sure, but the Farmtruck has hit a couple barriers and will not be completed intime to race. I am going a little further and repainting the nose and bying a new hood while apart and trying to make everything right the FIRST time.

I am going down with my buddies 9 second street 65 GTO. It is going to be a blast.

[BOOGEYMAN]

HELL ya Thats what I wanted to hear!!!! To bad about the truck but thats why the duster is still in the shop...not comming out till it isdone right the FIRST time how I really want it!! i cant wait, you are going to have so much fun man!!!

Travis.

[twotons]

Well if anyone needs anything towed down or back i ll have my truck so hit me up if needed.

[Hilly]

Entry form is officially in the mail ! I'll keep that in mind Brian. Travis and I were talking about something like that but if you're already heading down...........

[BOOGEYMAN]

Matt you are already entered from last year, I hope you didn't pay again!

[Hilly]

Seems like the last days of summer just flew by. I sure hope the three weeks until Boise do the same. I don't want winter to get here any sooner tho!!

[Throttletag]

Well, if anyone cares, I think we're gonna go as well. The car is checking out alright and I think we've figured out what we needed to to feel good about going. As long as nothing crazy happens, we'll be leaving the wednesday morning prior. See ya'll down there...

[BOOGEYMAN]

Hell ya!!!! Thats awsome Phil!!!! I am leaving tues. with Prezsler, we are just inside the pits at the top behind the stands. Make sure you come find me and let me know when you are there.

Travis.

[Throttletag]

I'll come and find you for sure. I gotta know where to get more beer in case we run out... LOL!!

[BOOGEYMAN]

HAHA ya we ALWAYS have plenty of beer and spider bites on hand!!!

[badassmav]

Yeah last year, I think we cleaned out the liquor stores down there.

[BOOGEYMAN]

haha we always do!!!! It was fun watching BRIAN have to pick up up at the bon fire with Justins mustang because you were to drunk to walk......you need to go again this year!!!!

[BOOGEYMAN]

Phil, Todd went 6.7 with a 1.01 6o ft right off the trailer on thursday durring testing with the new ride/set up!!!! Man that thing is going to fly when he gets it all dialed in(thats what he told me, haha like it isn't now!!!).....He sure knows how to get a N/a car down the track, he also leathal at the tree and always knows how to dial his ride.....

PHUCK I CANT WAIT FOR BOISE!!!!!!!!

Travis

[Throttletag]

Travis... Yeah, I heard he got a new ride but I don't know what the ride is. I'd have to say that that's a pretty good shake down pass... Where was he testing at? He's been doin this for a real long time and he's just flat been around it for even longer. Should be interesting to see what happens down at the classic with the 32 car field for "Top Gun".

Phil

[BOOGEYMAN]

He bought a Stroupe GTO with a new Schmidt 818......

here is the car,

Todd , Tuper and Frank rented seattles track last thursday to test. Tupper posted up a 7.03 at 198 durring testing with the new twin turbo small block in his 49 ford!! Frank also bought another new ride(TWo this season) and put his 737 in Kurtis' mustang for Boise.

Top Gun is so much fun at Boise, last year I think the bump was 7.38 or something. We went to the dragster final but lost to a red light.

Travis.

[Throttletag]

CHRIST ON A CRUTCH!!! Must be nice to be able to fork out the money for one of those new GTO's. I knew Tuper had a new set up from talkin' to Brian. Now what did Tamaz buy? I thought he just got a Pontiac to replace the '63 Vette earlier this season. HAHA, Business must be good!

[BOOGEYMAN]

Yes bussiness is always good for Frank! He bought that new bad ass pontiac back in april but decided to buy another one for whatever reason. It is so much fun to travel with these guys and watch the money fly at the drop of a hat. When it comes time to step up they are always first inline!! Not to mention that when these guys sell there used bullets or spare parts they come at a very good deal.

That GTO retails for 80,000 rolling.......and Todd's old smaller(760 inch) engine retails for 56,500 so that gives you an idea what a new 818 inch bullet costs. Todd has a sponsership deal with Steve so the engines are not anywhere near what anyone else can buy one for.

Kurtis Tamez mustang went 7.05 in seattle with the 632 and now has Franks 737 so we shall see when his gets the chassis dialed in Boise....

On another note Prez hurt the aluminum Schmidt 632 so we put the old 632(he calls her shelia, lol) back in for Boise. should run low 7.20's in Boise with the spare. Runs 6.80's with the Schmidt engine.......oh well.

Travis.

P.S. What day are you heading down?? We are leaving Prez's castle around 5 or 6 on tuesday.

[Throttletag]

That kind of money being thrown around is insane. I couldn't imagin what I'd do with that kind of bank.

We're planning on leaving either late tuesday night of early wednesday morning. Gates don't open till 11, I believe, on wednesday so maybe we'll get a decent spot.

[BOOGEYMAN]

They start parking them at 10am on tuesday!

[Throttletag]

Hum... I knew they were going to be parking and doing tech on tuesday, but the hand out says 4 pm. 4 seems a little late so I don't doubt that they'll do the 10 thing. We won't be around till wednesday morning though. Hopefully there'll be a couple of decent spots left.

[Hilly]

Damn't, now I wanna leave earlier. I already plan on leaving at like 4am wednesday.

[Hilly]

So, the day is coming fast. Who is going to make it? I need to change out my safety belts, cover a whole in the firewall, set the valves and pack all the uselees crap I probably wont need. Wife freaked when I grabbed a big ass cooler just for beer!

[il_wolf_li]

I wish that I could make it but my grandfather just passed away so I won't be able to make it, to much family stuff going on and my grandmother is taking it really hard.
Hopefully someone will have a video camera down there so I can see a lot of the action when you guys get back. I am really going to miss the bonfire's every night.... I'll be throwing a bonfire party sometime early November so that is something to look forward to. Good luck to everyone that is racing and hopefully you will be able to represent for Spokompton!!!

Matt,

I am leaving early wed. morning now and will hit the track around 2pm, probly just a little after you will. So Justin may need you to save him a spot if you get there first.Todd is having his GTO air brushed and said he wont get it back untill tuesday so he is not sure if he will make the show or not. Anyway I will call you on tuesday and touch base.

Travis.

[MustangGirl]

Have fun everyone....take at least 2 shots for me! ;)

[Throttletag]

I too am goin to be leaving good 'ol Spokane Valley early wed. morning. Don't know when we'll get there (all depends on the rest stop situation), but early afternoon sounds about right.

Brian... Sorry to hear about your grandpa. Let your dad know to get a hold of us if there's anything we can help with. Even if he just wants to sit down and talk for a bit. Your grandpa was always great to get on the phone. He couldn't hear ya when you were in front of him, let alone over a line... LOL!!! We'll sure miss him. Give your grandma hugs for us too.

[il_wolf_li]

Thanks Phil, I will make sure to let dad know.??Haha, yea it was pretty damn funny when the phone would ring and grandpa would pick up the phone about 2 minutes after I already did....."Helllloo".??I will be seeing ya a bit more here because I will be spending the night out there a bit so grandma doesn't feel so alone in the house. I know she would be thrilled to see you again and to have us sitting around talking and keeping her some company.??The house is real lonely now....living there for 52 years with grandpa...

Good luck down in Boise and I will get ahold of you next week when your back and I am out your way.??Make sure to get your runs on video, I wanna see it! Once again, good luck!!!

I'm sorry about your loss, and will say a prayer for your grandmother.

[BOOGEYMAN]

Phil,

we usually just fill up in spokane and then stop on the way through kennewick to top off and then straight through to Boise.

Travis.

[gregc]

Anybody got a spare set of belts that aren't out of date?

Trying to get everything on the car ready to go too. Watts is straightening my wheels today and Schwabb is aligning the car tomorrow. If I can get all the holes covered up and some belts that aren't out of date, we should be good to go. Car would be going down Wednesday, but I wouldn't make down till late Thursday.

[Hilly]

Hey greg, how about sending down the scooters too! I don't have a way to get my 4wheeler down.

[Hilly]

Speaking of Justin. He called me last night. He hasn't put the tranny in yet!
No problem on saving him a spot.

Greg, who is taking your car down?

[gregc]

I'm sure we'll take some scooters! :)

Towing is being provided by Shelley's Performance. For all your performance needs, visit Shelley Performance!

:)

[Hilly]

Due to circumstances beyond my control my buddy won't be able to go to Boise with me. So I have a spectator pass for the weekend for sale. I paid $40, sell it for $30.

[gregc]

Rich will take that off your hands, I'm sure. Give him a call and let him know. Does it include friday?

[Hilly]

Includes all days. Better yet, lets me use a scooter and it'll be $20.

[Hilly]

Hey Greg, did you pre register? How out of date are your belts?

[BOOGEYMAN]

Brian said he was leaving tuesday with tupper when I talked to him today??? We are supposed to dyno justins car today and then switch the tranny's maybe, might just leave the 5 spd in. Who knows......as much beer as we drink we may paint it tonight to, lol.

Travis.

[gregc]

I did not pre-reg. I'll pay full tilt price at the gate. My belts are at least a year out, possibly two.

Yeah, Brian is leaving with Tupper. Saving a bit of money on gas that way.

Wheels are repaired. Both were at least an 1/8" bent. No wonder I had a wobble! Can't wait till the alignment is done, the thing will be better than a Cadillac!

Anyone got some black auto carpet lying around?

[BOOGEYMAN]

New plan,

We got justins car dynoed tonight and we are heading out tomarrow night around 10 to 11pm and will be at the track around 6 or 7 am. See you guys there!

Travis

[Hilly]

Don't suppose you guys want to go down my way? I was gonna leave at like 3 or 4 am.

[Hilly]

Hey Trav, what you doing for sleeping arrangements? Not sure if I was going to take my tent if it was just me.

[BOOGEYMAN]

Justin rented a 32 foot motor home we are bringing and I am going to bring an air matteress and a tent as well. If that does not work I will just sleep in Prezslers stacker.

Travis.

[Hilly]

Rented a motorhome? WOW!

[BOOGEYMAN]

hell ya!!! All $1200 worth.....:) big pimpin baby, I can feel the hangovers allready!!!!

[gregc]

Car is loaded up and soon to be on it's way. I'll been down sometime tomorrow night. :D
