track day meet, ames SRT's

[Putter]

I'm gonna head down to Newton tomorrow and scope out the drag strip and talk to tech. If anyone wants to tag along, shoot me a PM.

I'm running, fall is great drag racing weather... Hope to trap high 80's (1/8th mile track).

I am the ROTC guy with the blue car. It is stock except for a Ebay red plate. I also have a decent sound system.

Conoco on Lincoln Way has 93...but with ethanol. I believe there is another Conoco around Ames somewhere.

Lastly, I commute to Newton 2-3 times a week as my GF lives there. There is a track here and they do drag, but I don't know much more than that. I can find out more if need be. I have seen a girl there with a yellow one and a guy with an orange one.

My name is Luke if you guys ever see me.

BTW, this post has taken my forum virginity!

hey, man i saw you yesterday i think, driving on lincoln. i have been using the conoco on lincoln for 93.

anyone wanna caravan to newton sometime before it gets too cold and snowy?

by the way i think one of my roomates know you from ROTC, (just a side note)

[Sarguy01]

I may be able to go at some point this weekend...like tomorrow night. I am busy the next two weekends.

Is your car the black one with no badges parked in the student/staff lot by the communications building? I park in the lot next to the comms building and see it almost everyday.

On your side note, who is your roommate? I think I know who you are talking about. I am going to ask him this afternoon.

[Sarguy01]

[19 psi]
