Blue Suede Cruise.
- Thread starter Fathead Racing
- Start date
I think the majority of guys that travel a fair distance trailer their cars. You can bring more stuff that way and if you decide to run it down the track,bang and break something,
: at least you can get it home.
Good point !!!
I do this exact same thing when I race at home:eek:
I figure if I trailer her to the track she won`t break but if I drive her she will !!
So far so good !!
besides,,,, unloading your car off the trailer make it look FASTER !!!!
Plans are to drive
You guys are getting me all worrisome with this talk of breaking down
. My plans are to drive the 409 car for 650 miles to Norwalk, maybe take a few trips down the track, drink some beer, tell lots of stories, get fired up about the next project, watch some car movies on a makeshift screen, and pass out in someone's trailer (thanks Jim!). Then I'll have breakfast on Fatride's home cooking, and do it all over again . After it's all over, I'll fire up the '62 and head back to Missouri with a great big smile on my face and a whole bunch of stories to tell my friends. Now that's living!
Cheers,
TomK

I saw the pictures just posted I guess we will look like that headed to Ohio..That's great two 62's I'll bet the loooks were there. Maybe I can talk my friend(not a site member) with the 63-409-425 to go. we would up them with a 61-62-63

Dan, Paul (garbageman) and me tried to get others to join us going to the convention but it just ended up being the two of us,,
Still was a ball to see the looks we got going down the road,,,
When you said about "the looks", it reminded me about a trip I took out to the North east to pick up some cars. When I was going from Ohio to Boston we saw about 15 Corvetts parked at the entrance of the freeway.:eek:
bang They were all new models and looked as if they were parked there for a Vette sale.
: Like 5 minutes later we saw packs of 5 to 15 Vettes passing us by. We counted 42 or something close to that. There were a few older models but most were new Vettes and it was a site to see.bang
Now that would fun! We need to find someone with a 64 to go along with us.
Guys, Jim K just brought up some disturbing news, the flyer says 75.00 per "FUN" run. That kind of takes the fun out of fun run doesn't it? I for one will not lay out 75.00 to make one run down anyones track. I may have to rethink this. Would you all mind if I looked for another track or another venue?
Ray,I will call Norwalk tomorrow to see if thats what there doing,you can enter to race for real and have a chance to win $$$ for less $$$
Also Ray,look on your Flyer,it looks like they want $25 for Primitive Camping
:eek: 
. If thats what Norwalk wants,by all means Ray look for another track

Ray:
That sounds real expensive. I'm not really interested in racing my 348 because I don't want to be embarrassed
I quit racing years ago when I sold my GTX.
I live on a rural road with only 3 houses and the river at the end. Most of the land is cow pastures. Wonder if I could charge $75 per pass ???

I can offer a simple solution. We race at Redline Raceway, Caddo Mills, Texas. I will pay all dragstrip and camping fees for everyone.

Blue Suede Cruise
Norwalk Raceway Park Is according to Mapquest 19.22 miles from our driveway. about 20 -25 minutes away. we are NOT campers but will certainly be at norwalk if thats we where we end up. My wife, Christine and myself would like to extend an invitation to ANYONE who would like to park a car and trailer at our place [4 acres] for the weekend and drive your car over to Norwalk. You can even pitch a tent and commute if thats suits you better than staying at the track. We have over 7 months to get this all figured out.
Merry Christmas
