Handfull of Vipers & SC Viper
Few Mustangs, Camaros, F-Body, etc...
This could turn into a shootout, lol!
June 26 (Friday) - SAR Drag Strip! - MARK YOUR CALLENDERS! Seems like the best time would be on June 26th to head down to SAR. The response was a little better than I thought it would be so we should have a nice group for that Friday night. I will also need to respond on some of the boards where people showed interest but I didn't get their email address.
Welcome to San Antonio Raceway
I think the BEST spot for us to meet up, would be the Wal Mart parking lot, off South I35 and Slaughter. This spot is on the way out there and there is a big parking lot area behind the Whataburger and the Wal Mart gas station where we can all meet. Also give folks a chance to run into ol' Wals Marts and pick up anything you may need to take along. Heading on I35 southbound, take the "Congress Avenue Exit" (sign is there to tell you to exit). Wals Marts is right at the intersection od Slaughter and I35... can't miss it!
Time to meet - 5:30 We can wait around for a little while if you need us to, or you can meet us down at the track. But 5:30 at Wal Mart seems like a good time.
$20.00 to get in and race.
Will anyone be taking a truck/trailer to trailer your car down there? I personally would like to remove my spare tire and stuff like that and would prefer to put in the back of someone's truck, instead of laying in the parking lot, also have a backup gas can I would like to take along in the back of someone's pickup if that's ok.
Things to remember to take along:
Helmet - if you run 13.99 or faster. There are some at the track to rent I believe and a few uf us may share with you.
Glove - I actually need a glove on my right hand to keep from slipping off my shifter when racing. Just a thought...
Tire Pressure Guage / Air Tank - May want to check on some of the message boards and see what is the ideal pressure to run in your rear and front tires in the 1/4 mile. It can make a difference on your runs. Some folks bring along their own air tank, to air up the tires for ths drive back home, but I believe SAR has a big compressor they will let you use. I have used in the past.
Shift points - May want to research and see where everyone talks about what RPM to shift your car for the best results.
Extra Gas Tank - I run on low gas, so want to make sure I can make it back home!
Food at the track is priced cheap, so you can get something to eat there for a good price.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything. I'll update again as we get closer to the date. Feel free to call me if you would like.
