am i the only high school kid going? haha its aight im straight with adults.

i might bring my bro who just graduated..but he's also 19, lol. check our list and see if anyone else fits your age, there might be one or two...*shrug*

the Dan Ryan Expwy..now THAT is fun to drive, bumper to bumper at 90mph in some places....awesome! but we'll have mostly the burbs to navigate, shouldn't be too bad unless we make a trip to schaumburg..the traffic can be good or bad i've learned in that area. meh, i would plan on maybe being there a bit after 530 since we may not get out right on time at 445 (we'll push for it, but ya never know)..if you're planning to chill with us as long as possible it would be best to get there early rather than late. and if you beat us there, well, you can watch others race for a bit, lol

Dunno what else..

cardude007617 07-02-2007 08:24 PM

when would these contests be held friday please cuz that looks like wen most of us are coming

Ajaxus 07-02-2007 08:26 PM

i think we might be able to hold most or all after the track, by then we should have most or all of the crowd together.

If there are contests then there needs to be prizes. I doubt anyone wants to spend more money.

as for the winners of the contests I could offer 10% off intakes and PCMs and maybe some free (small) decals

not big prizes, but prizes are prizes

lvemy3100 07-02-2007 08:45 PM

I couldnt think of much to offer... still cant other than what I have... if anyone else is willing to donate some prizes that would be great but the contests are more about recognition (sp?) rather than "Big Money Prizes"

well if myg6 were bigger we probably could have offered some prizes as well...and i agree about the recognition (btw, im gonna have one of those i listed in the bag :D)

lvemy3100 07-02-2007 08:50 PM

I am guessing best sound or cleanest... my car wont even come close to being competition for any of them lol

better than my sony explode HU, NO 6x9's, and 200w self amplified Rampage sub... ;crap

cardude007617 07-02-2007 09:43 PM

well, i'd be personally happy with the respect. im definetly getting into the system contest haha. but i think it would indeed be best tho to have it at the track cuz like that IS wen most of us will be there most likely. plus we can show our cool cars off to r!cers.

lone_wolf025 07-02-2007 09:49 PM

Honestly, I can't say I've ever seen that many r!cers at GLD. Actually I see a lot of rather nice looking old cars more than anything.

Anywho depending on if I get the day off or not will determine whether or not I show up for Friday's daytime activities. Worst case I'll be meeting y'all at the track.

Iowagdam 07-02-2007 09:52 PM

How about;
Cleanest Engine bay
Biggest bug on your windshield
Longest Burnout
Smooth as a baby's butt (could be a sub category for best paint)
Best Rims
Best interior mods
Fastest Car ( probably good for track competition)
I'll think of some more...

lone_wolf025 07-02-2007 09:55 PM

Ya know now I'm wondering who will be the fastest...

cardude007617 07-02-2007 09:58 PM

awwwwwwww i was looking forward to smoking some r!cers. so are we gonna race each other or wat?
so we gonna have the contests at the track or wat; who's with me on this

cardude007617 07-02-2007 09:59 PM

gotta do a system comp guys and of course lighting as well maybe?

Iowagdam 07-02-2007 10:00 PM

Oh...
Slowest Car
Dirtiest Car
Best bad odor
Best donut
and Best Crazy driver

lone_wolf025 07-02-2007 10:10 PM

Ok we'll settle on just the biggies for rewards and stuff. The rest will just be for bragging rights.

If you're planning to be in a competition post up. To make things fair, you can enter in two of the "majors" and as many of the "bragging rights" as you want.

Major (For rewards)

"Cleanest" Car (clean in appearance or just not dirty)
Best Sound System (we could go for volume or quality or both)
Best Overall Car
Best Show Mods
Fastest Car ( probably good for track competition)

Bragging rights

Cleanest Engine bay
Biggest bug on your windshield
Longest Burnout
Smooth as a baby's butt (could be a sub category for best paint)
Best Rims
Best interior mods
Best bad odor
Slowest Car
Dirtiest Car


All winners will have the option of having their pictures taken with their cars individually and/or as a group.


This work for everyone?

cardude007617 07-02-2007 10:23 PM

looks pretty good to me. maybe a couple more in the major list?

We will be lucky to be smoking ANYONE at the track. The nuber of cars running slower than 13s is extremely small at the track.

Im liking the ideas for the contests BTW
I think we could add a "best rt. of the night"

cardude007617 07-03-2007 10:40 AM

hmmmm i should make my freind bring his cr-v haha we can smoke his ass all nite

Malibu Glow 07-03-2007 11:24 PM

I wish I could be up there for Friday at the track, guess I'll have to deal with being there on Saturday morning then.

How about best mishap to your car, I.E. body damage in ignorance!

cardude007617 07-03-2007 11:44 PM

would body damage due to drifting count?

vipey1337 07-04-2007 09:44 AM

I'll think about going... I want to do some more work on my car first (Show with a lil' Go)... other factors to consider as well. I'm a maybe at this point :p

I'll do most of the contests :D It will be neat to see how my single 15" sub compares with everyone elses stuff :D

zhd1000 07-04-2007 10:24 AM

as for contests.. you could set some kind of bracket racing tourney up for the track and just do the calculations yourself if you're just grouped with a bunch of other people.. i know that the most of us would be 3400s but every car and level of practice at the track is different, so bracket racing is the fairest way to go..

That would be fun... It's gonna make it exciting because its not just against the clock but also a compeditor. I love it.:applause:
