Do a search on eBay, you'll see. Every year they have new cars, or new colors on old cars. They're the bulk of my Christmas ornaments. It's good to be a single guy sometimes. I'm trying to find them locally rather than ePay or mail order. Target, W-M, KMart, Toys R Us, are all hit and miss.

Ohhh, those are cool. Those would be awesome christmas ornaments...but somehow I'll bet they wouldn't go over so well around here...lol.

that sounds like hot wheels with hooks on them.
walmart, 78 cents each

This year's banquet will be Saturday, Feburary 3, 2007 at the Raddison in Monroeville. More details such as time and cost will be posted shortly.

Straight from the website...my information was apparently wrong.

Did anybody end up going to the Turkey day race at Mason Dixon? Anything happen?

I was wondering the same thing, hoping someone from PRP brought home a winner.

I sure hope the weather there was better than it was here yesterday. Otherwise I doubt there even was a turkey race.

Ron McClelland and I went down to the turkey race...after they had everybody "drive thru" tech and let prob 15 unsafe 11 sec cars run, they threw me out 1st round for running 9.80's (didnt say a word to me or open my door and look in my car once) and Ron got homered a bit as far a lane choice (long story, .07 difference between the two lanes) but no i'm not bitter.. I left after 1st round but Brian Berg was still in. I hope he cleaned up down there! The weather was marginal, for a half hour it looked like it was going to rain out...

Is the car not legal to go 9.80? Or too fast for the class?

The car has all the safety stuff, including window net, full cage, trans blanket, the right damper etc and all that stuff the chassis isnt NHRA certified (i dont need it in IHRA). He said it was because i didnt have a neck roll which is a rule i understand but either
a)tell me about it while clicking off two 9sec runs in time trials dont just change my dial while im starting my burnout 1st round
b)enforce all the rules over everyone

maybe i shoulda taken my dad's car down...ok im done bi***ing now..

I think they tossed Mike Fiore (i think thats his name, with the firebird) for no firepants

Anyone else go down? Mike Egan, the Brewers, AJ? M-D is ok, but for me it was just a place to get a last fix in. I didn't care for what they called track prep.

PRP will be open this Saturday for a last test n tune, as long as the weather holds, which it looks like it will currently. I'm hoping to make it out. I put Barry's Quick Fuel carb on, and changed the rear shocks, so I want to see how they work.

Jeff Hahn, I'll be sending you a PM later tonight.

ok, ill be here
lol

I traded emails with Pam. The techs are looking at why the PRP site won't come up, but they're hoping to get that fixed this afternoon.

Saturday is still on for test n tune, and the weather is looking really nice. Woo hoo!

It's tough when the tech contact is in Tennessee and the hosting company is in Minnesota, not to mention the holiday-eve.

Official word came out today! IHRA Division 3 Bracket Finals will be at PRP for '07, '08, and '09!! Nice!

that is a defint big boost for the track.

I think there may be some more folks joining points.

Yeah I think it will help the track points out. Hopefully we will have an advantage on winning the team championship. What are everyones plans for the winter?

AJ

our only plans are to work on the practice tree, get the car ready to go 8.90, go to the banquet( planning on getting a room there so dad can have a few drinks ), and hoping for the practice tree racing.
