I can understand for people in other parts of the country not going. If you wantto make the drive out for this that's awesome, but I totally understand.

We really don't have too many people in this part of the country, but it's the people that live about 2 or less hours from ASS and don't come to that that really get me

Olds will be fielding classes at BPO, though, so don't worry about a thing.

^I hope so, though it looks like the Aleromod contingent will be sparsely represented (again).

^You can pay at the gate to spectate or to race. No advanced sign-up necessary. I dont think there's any extra charge to Show the car in addition to attendance or racing.

Nate and I were down there for like 3 hours (11am-2pm). Didn't see Jackal or Daytona, and Nate called Redog, it turns out, he PUSSIED OUT!!! (j/k lol), but I definitely had a good time, never been to a track before and saw some amazing cars.

We were charged $15 for spectator! We got scammed $3, eff.

reason i left early, i got severe allergies, and was feeling real sick.

You guys actually showed up? I did see one silver Alero w/ NY plates in the pits mid-morning but nobody near it. Jon and I parked against the return road fence by the ambulances (other side of the mini-tower adjacent to the car show area) since there was no other parking.

Ken was home sick. Jon got there late (after 11am) but I was there by 9:30am. But after seeing his passenger (I'll let Jon reveal her name if he desires), it was worth the wait.

The place was so packed, we didn't get our first time shot until Noon and then run #2 came @ 2:45pm. This was thanks to the Pontiac Show rain-out being rescheduled to today. WAY too many cars, plus they had almost 200 cars there just for test-and-tune.

They also combined the Buick and Olds classes into combined $ and Trophy-only classes, instead of having pure Olds classes like last year.

Jon lost 1st round (@ 3:30pm) in a close race in the B-O Trophy class and left around a half hour later. His plan was to drive straight back to VA non-stop. If he did, he got home before I did because...

I won Round 2 of the $ class @ 7:30pm (curfew time). Yeah, 4 hours in between rounds due to the ton of cars and all of the Pontiacs oiling down the track. By the time I got my payout & trophy and got my tires reinflated, and then got gas & drove the 45 minutes home, I didn't step foot in my house until 9:45pm.

There were 3 of us left in the B-O $ bracket at curfew. They were going to let us continue running if the 3rd guy was muffled, but he never returned to the lanes so we were forced to wait until all of the other muffled classes finished before they let us split money. Me and the 1 guy who showed each got $110.

My quickest run was the 1st one - 15.832 secs. @ 84.70mph. Had I known we were going to get 2 time shots I would have used the 1st one to go all out and push my car into the 15.7's (which was my goal this weekend anyway). But since we originally didn't think we were getting a 2nd time shot I ran the 1st one conservatively for dial. The other runs were 15.941 @ 83.88, 15.923 @ 85.35, and 16.701 @ 67.26 (ran a 18.50 sec. car and passed him half-track so I let off the gas). I'll post up slips when I have a chance to scan them in at work this week.
