I will come and run my car if I am up there for the show that early but not forsure what day we are all getting there. From all the reading I have done, Milan is a good track and alot of personal best times are ran on it. So if we are up there on Wends. Then count in an 88 Coupe auto 3800SC looking to dip into the 11s and not break something 1500 miles from home. I will be driving my car there and back so if I do break something then I have a few days to fix it.

Would be nice to have my LS4 88 GT ready but I doudt that it going to happen.

i will have a decent amount of parts and tools on hand for auto 3800 setups. I have a few transmissions on hand at home, and I will be bringing a few spare axles.

I should be there aswell, i'm going to try and get my3.8 SC Dyno tuned up at ZZP (Grand Rapids) before the event, so i should be running good then. I will be staying In Jackson (where i grew up) with my family. I now live in Corinth Tx.
Go Blue!!
Thanks.. Steve

>< BUMP ><

I'm sure a few of us SOFA guys would go to the track. I can't say for others... I'm looking to do a 3800SC swap this summer so I should have it done before then... I'd just be afraid of breaking it Maybe I'll show up and baby it down the track haha

I am thinking you wont be the only one... I might have a surprise there for a vanity run to collect a 125 trap speed.

I guess i'd go, but I think the MN caravan into Michigan arrives on Weds. which would put us at night. Are there any other days we can go, like Thurs ??

are you sure you want to miss this?




or this?




Cars?
What cars?




IIRC this was the fatest-time Fiero-type mobile of the day.




P.S. You just drove 3, 4, 12 hours to get to the 25th.
What's another 45 minutes?

[This message has been edited by Augiedoggysdaddy (edited 04-16-2008).]

Hell I drive 2 hours one way to get to the track here so 45 minutes is cake.

no, only choices was Wednesday or Friday
and - it is starting at 4pm

but - I do beleive the caravan will be driving right by Milan (south, mid michigan) - not sure of the timing tho

Friday sounds good

quote Originally posted by PURPLE REIGN: Friday sounds good

yes - originally that was the plan - but - friday has other 25th stuff going on, and Milan Dragway will most likely have other stuff going on too

bump

TTT

it is almost here

1 month!

yup...looks like a tiny turnout. and - sofar - looks like I will be the slowest one

any guesses on the quickest?

So I'm thinking of doing this but if there are 10 cars I can do that here. Anyone else want to jump in here and say they are going? Trying to decide if I want to get up there early for this.

2 here for sure. I think matt hawkins and akursedx would be game too..

I would like to see what my rebuilt 87GT auto runs. I think I might get into MI late wednesday so is there another day people are going?

roughly 10 Fiero's - but - it is open to the public - it is a normal Test & Tune at the dragstrip, we are just picking this day for us to meet. I cant speak for the "public" - but I would expect we wont be the only ones there.

If the weather is NICE then only expect to get a few runs in, and spend most of your time BS'ing about fieros.

lol - yeah...now that I finished my winters Fiero works...its all I seem to have on my mind....me wifey hates this time of year....

I'll be there. And if my times suck it's cuz I drove the car 1100 miles to get there. And umm bump come on people it's fieros drag racing.

Weather looks great right now, 72 and sunny!

Its fairly sure that my new project will be there, and I will have my beater there with some go faster goodies on it. Possibly may have another manual 3800 swap there, but he is a bit nervous.

I'm out. I will be out of town until about 4 hours before the show starts.

i am going to waterford on thursday so i might as well go to milan on wednsday .i have to drive the car home so i will probably go pretty easy on it , especially since i have never drag raced on a track before .i have an 86 gt with turbo 2.2 ecotec and cavalier f23 getrag .more worried about my 22 year old axles than the tranny .

I will have axles on hand, so no worries there.

Added a few 3800's that will be tagging along with me, maybe a quad4 turbo fiero.

i cant make it after all .i thought i was coming off nights that morning but i have to work that day till 8 pm .sorry about that .

I'm just plotting out the drive from 3600 Centrepoint and was wondering if they'll have helmets at the track (for rent).

Don't have a bucket. You guys have an extra I could use for a few runs?

DrCPU

I won't have my car at the 25th...but I will be showing up for the drag racing with a nice digital video camera. So...everyone come out and give me something worth getting video of.

I will be sure to bring 3 or so, one XL, one large, and a "gokart" helmet. They all pass as helmets there, so they dont care. I dont think they rent them there.... I may be wrong, but It seems I remember they dont.

ok - it is tommarow - wednesday
gates open at 4:00 PM
I plan on being out front after 3, before 4
$20 entrance at the gate

Hey guys. Hopefully someone gets some pictures. If you do, please post them here: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/071947.html

Sorry I missed out but I'll be down tomorrow.
