I know this is VERY short notice, but on Friday the 29th we will be having a little meet at Portland International for drag racing. Open 6-12, $23 to race, Test-N-Tune. So far Layla will be there and Ted's 500ci Caddy powered TBird. John is coming in either his 88TC or the GTO. If you need/want to stay, the hotel by the track is an old historic called the Thunderbird Hotel. Racing again on Saturday (same deal, $23, TNT). I average 20 passes on Fridays and 15 on Saturdays so there's plenty of racing. Feel free to come buy parts too :D
If you have any interest in going and meeting some fellow members, give me a shout via email or phone.

If there's enough interest I'll see about planning a September meet with our own lane and discounted room rates. :D
Count me in. Not sure if I will run the bird, is nothing special at this point just a stock SO and no safty gear. But I would like to see what it will get as a starting number before HO or any other mods.
Also as I live about 10 min from PIR if theres anything I can do to help any of you let me know.
I'll be there as a spectator at the least, maintaining the offical "foxtbirdcougarforums.com" rooting section!!
Woo Hoo! We have an XR4Ti coming from TF too, so that's 5 confirmed now.
it now if i would have my cougar paid off already id be up there to put some time slips for the v6 class :-o i know its slow but i dont see anyone who's got em.
It's only $23 to race.
Come up to the September one :D
i just may well do that... sept is my birthday and if i plan things right i can get a week off to go back to eastern oregon and its something i can do ON my way or on my way back... depends if i think the 3.8 will handle it lmao
Jim,
Still coming? Give me a call tomorrow if you are. Ted is meeting John and I at my place in Kelso, and we are caravanning down. We're going early to get good pit spaces.
intimidator,

For sure going to be there:
Me, 88 TC "Layla"
John, 05 GTO
Ted, 88 TC with a 500ci Caddy big block
Jim, 87 TBird 5.0
Maybes:
Warren, XR4Ti
AT8TC, 85 SVO or 88 TC
Yea I'm in, Will be tagging along Bird isent in any shape race yet. (least till I get my tranny drip fixed, hate to mess up the track with tranny fluid)
What time will you all be leaving Kelso? I will probably be at my property working on my house in Kalama so could hook up with you all on the freeway on your way down ( I'm only about 7min off of the Kalama River Rd. exit.)
Oh... and my birds an 88 btw
Mother nature better behave, I'm getting excited. Raining right now in Olympia.

Everybody,
If Friday is called due to rain, the track will be open on the same time on Saturday. There's only a 30% chance for tomorrow night. If it looks nasty and they don't cancel it will be dead and we will get dozens of passes. John and I are planning on going Saturday even if Friday is good.
Okay so this is going to cost me more than I thought. My wife said that we should spend the night and then we could go shopping on
Saturday. So I used up some of my free points nights at the Best Western and booked a room for Friday night.
So the good news is that if the race is called I will be down there for Saturday night and if it is not maybe I can go both nights, depends on the car.
Sounds like a great plan to me (except for the shopping part).
TED
AHAHAHAAA
That's awesome Ted ;) We are planning on both nights as well. Give me a shout when you on your way down. (I just drove down from Bellview last night).
Just about ready to leave now, should be about 2:40.
TED
Track isn't calling the weather until 5:05. Call me when you get here.
It was AWESOME! See our post in the timeslips section ;)
