TMP Drag Day and JJB - June 23rd, 24th

[Sandeep]

All,

Who is going to these events ? Where are we meeting up and when ? what time does the drag racing start ?

I got the leak fixed ... I forgot to tighten up the AN fitting on the top of the oil cooler I could have been at the meet last night.

The bug rips .... but I'm thinking I need a muffler after the turbo now

Pete ... is your video camera mount universal ? Could it be swapped into another bug easily ?

Got a pic of your seats? The mount clamps to the headrest posts.

Gates open at TMP at 10:00 to my understanding. We should all meet up and cruise down. Maybe meet up at the Royal windsor as usual? thoughts?

Thats not going to work ... I don't have head rest posts.

I'm going to have to figure something out ... I was talking to Lanner about an aluminum bar (1" dia) that uses the grab strap mounting locations (remove the straps) and then machine a clamp out of aluminum and use one of these mounts

Might have to rig something up for drag day.

How long to get to TMP ?

I would not mind grabbing a bite before the drive ... McD's / Dennys ? in the area ?

Gates open at the track at 10am.
If you take the QEW to Highway 20 in Stoney Creek you go past some food joints. I usually stop in Caledonia at the McDonalds and eat before I head to Cayuga. I hope to be at the track at 10, but will be lucky if I am there by 10:30. Will be nice to see some other turbo air-cooleds there.
Plan on spending the better part of an hour to get to the track from Mississauga. 45 minutes if you're speeding like a demon.

Is there a cruise set up for the drag day ? This will be my first time to TMP and I don't want to get lost.

I will be heading out from Oakville hopefully by 9:30am. If I go there via Mapquest it takes me down gravel roads, so let me plan out a route and let you know. I hate going up Centennial Parkway because it is so busy and has lots of lights. Last time I went I went 403 to the new #6 shortcut past the Hamilton Airport, #6 to Caledonia, then turned left before the bridge and that road takes you out to the track basically.

MY POINT BEING that if anyone cares to follow me, and is at my house for 9:30 sharp, then let's do it. E-mail me for my address, it's 5 minutes off the QEW in Oakville. I will have my 20' trailer so I am not really interested in meeting up in a parking lot somewhere....

IMPORTANT NOTE!

I am not sure what the track requires for safety, but wear or bring long pants just in case. T-shirts are okay, but some tracks require you wear pants to race.

[gonebuggy]

I'll be your wingman on the way down Greg
And Chris, i can call you as we near you. and try to add you to the convoy on the way down.

Greg,

I have emailed you about directions to your place in Oakville for the drive down on Saturday 930am.

Is there anything else a drag racing 'newbie' needs to know ?

Thanks

Sandeep:
Just make sure you have or wear pants. And have seatbelts. Other than that, you are ready to go. I can get into the actual racing part of it tomorrow with you like when to leave the line (last amber bulb), etc.

See you at 9:30!!

Oh, and in case you did not get my e-mail response, it is 2193 Oak Bliss, L6M 3K1
