Ben,

I thought I saw you and your SVX yesterday in Harrisburg, but when I pulled up along side I saw that it was dirty, and knew it wasn't you.

 

I did take your advice and cleaned my engine compartment. I'll show it off next week, unless I get something else to bring to the races...

 

Definately not mine. I currently don't have any seats in her and she's up on ramps in the garage. Hey its better than in the front yard. . Something else huh? You gonna race that legacy?

[Hocrest]

There are a couple things in the air...

If nothing changes I'll be taking the Legacy.

I'll run it, but I don't know if you can call it "Racing"

 

I measured about a 1/4 mile leaving my office and I'm running a fairly consistant 19 sec!!!

[benebob]

That XT6 Phatbrat looked at should get cha down to the mid 17s

[Hocrest]

Thats one of the options, I'll be calling to check it out this weekend.

 

Sounds like you decided what you're gonna race...

[moosens]

Have fun boys.Take pics,take times,take trap speeds please.

 

I'm very interested in how fast you guys are at the end of the run.

 

Definitely can't make it,sorry boys.I'm trying to weasel a way to go.

[moosens]

wait a minute,,,,I might be saved.....

[Hocrest]

Yeah,

If you need help with an excuse, say the word

 

well it looks like that XT6 got away from me...

Try high 16's low 17's in auto or mid-high 16's in the manual.

ATTN: Guys in so. NJ and Phila.

 

i sent you an email regarding a meeting spot here in philly...

 

check when you can...

 

kev...are you going to caravan with us?

[gravelRX]

And where on the grounds are we going to meet? Anywhere nearby to throw up a tent?

 

 

Jay

[Hocrest]

Dennis, are you going to meet up in Harrisburg and let me and Ben join the train.

 

Jay, I guess you'd be coming up 83 or 81, do you want to meet up also?

 

I know of a place, fairly convenient on Rte 322 just north of 81. I'll get a map and details up in the next day or so. This would put us about an hour from the track.

[gravelRX]

Coming up 81. Will be taking off earlier than most because of the distance.

 

More Later.

 

Jay

[Dennis ex24]

dave...

 

not sure yet, im waiting for everyones response to my meeting place so ill plan accordingly, however - right now it looks like were going for a straight shot to the drag strip. everything is changing daily...guys from work are coming up to me going "yo did you here theres a subaru meet at beaver springs? im going..." so things are getting hectic as the days dwindle.

 

we'll probably be caravaning with an STI and 1 or 2 SOA promo cars unless those guys decide to go up friday nite...i have a headache

 

and for whoever needs it...my cell # is: 215-813-2283, after 9pm during the week please ad whenever on the weekend.

[Hocrest]

The track is about 20 miles east of Lewistown. And, 20 miles west of Selinsgrove.

 

Here is the tracks website with directions.

The spot I was thinking of is along Rte 322, just north of Rte 81. Either right along a fairly wide exit ramp or at a McD's. Just off the highway.

[Dennis ex24]

edited my post...its wonderful that this track doesnt have an address

 

the right address is:

 

somewhere near 322 in pa

 

like youre supposed to drive thru backroads in the middle of nowhere pa and then a drag strip comes out of the atmosphere and jimmy hoffa is there holding a sign that says $5, telling you where to park...

If these Philly boys are brave enough to venture into "our neighborhood alone" that's fine. I can still meet up with ya Dave. I'm going that way anyways. What's a little exit ramp?

[Hocrest]

They were trying to scare us with the Jersey Devil in the Pine Barrens, wait till they have to watch out for the Amish of the Lewistown Valley.

 

I was thinking the exit for Rte 39. I think it's the first exit north of 81.

[benebob]

Lewistown Amish? What about the Perry Countians? Alright you mean 81 to 322 and then the first exit?? If you go left you'll go down to the Mc Donalds by the river. Name a time and I'm there.

[Hocrest]

Yeah Ben, thats the spot. Gates open at 10, so I guess we want to leave Harrisburg around 9. I'll get there around 8-8:30.

 

Anybody coming from the south or west on 83, 81, or the PA Turnpike. The spot I'll be is at a McDonalds along Rte 39, just west of Rte 322, just north of Rte 81. Within rock skippin distance of the Susquehanna River.

I'll be at the golden arches by 8:30 see ya Saturday! Oh yeah and here's a joke to put the Philly boys in the right mood when they go through Perry county.

 

What does a Perry county girl say when she's loosing her virginity?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answer Get off me dad, you're crushing my smokes.

[moosens]

:lol:

 

Guys I might make it....as if you give a rat's arse. I'll do my best to make it for 10 if it happens.Skip and Steve are coming up here....I think...then heading out so we'll maybe caravan.

[Hocrest]

hahahahaha

 

Jay,

just noticed you're post about tent space.

 

I'm about an hour north-east of Harrisburg, and I'm sure i can find some space for you. Or if you don't want to go that far out of your way, call 888-PA-PARKS, there are a number of state parks south of Harrisburg, just off of Rte 81.

[gravelRX]

Going to look into staying in a hotel somewhere nearby. I saw the suggestions for the locally situated ones. Don't have a clue whether they are booked up yet or not. Does anyone have a town recommendation?

 

If I do get a room, I welcome crashing to the tired or a place to go to later for the more awake people of the crowd.

 

Jay

[Ruppster]

I know no one knows me yet as I just recently joined the group but I am going to throw my hat in the ring anyhow and anounce my plans to be there. :-) I will be driving up from the east coast of Virginia on Friday evening. I plan on staying in a hotel Friday night and then coming back home Saturday evening after the event. If anyone needs a ride and would like to come along I can be emailed at bryan at dodge-semis dot com.

Gifford Pinchot,highly recommended:http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/giffordpinchot.asp

 

You can get to the PAParks homepage easy enough from there.Search the region,I did quickly and there's closer camping than Pinchot.I didn't save the results though.
