Good on ya Tony, Mark, Bob and track owners et. al.
Setting up and putting on a special race takes a lot of work and I'm glad to see ya'll hard at work again. Your depth of industry contacts are fantastic and quite fruitful, good job. Nothing like sweet'en the pot, that should bring the numbers, eh !!

I plan to be there, hopefully with the blue car if I get the engine on time otherwise the white car will like an outing to blow the cob webs off.

Keep up the good work guys, some visiting out of state racers need to plan for this event as well, it's a great warm up as the track will be first class and great air !

Re: West Coast S/SS Combo Jan 24 25 26 2014 ?

Good question "grasshopper" ?

There's a local VP distributor that sets up at the track. Mike from M&M Fuels. He carries most different types of VP in stock, but not C-11. I was planning on calling him tomorrow to make sure he's got 10 gallons for me. I'd suggest doing the same!

Re: West Coast S/SS Combo Jan 24 25 26 2014 ?
 

Sounds good Barry, I don't want to sound like I'm bashing Jerry but to do a TNT at Sac is a waist of time IMO. The track prep is the biggest issue, we had a a H/SA car that could not even hook and was a new combo trying to get some data a complete waist of time and money because they don't care !! period. spend the extra gas money to drive a little farther south to Famoso and its well worth it Trust Me….

Re: West Coast S/SS Combo Jan 24 25 26 2014 ?
 

No Mark we have not met, although I feel like I know you a little just from following you on the net:) I just relocated here from NE SD. I have helped the Midwest Class Racers promote and grow their combo races over the last few years. I have the J/SA "Two Ton Tamater" 70 Sport Sattelite wagon and the B/S 440-6 pak 70 Road Runner. I'm excited to get to know some people in the stock/super stock community down here!

Re: West Coast S/SS Combo Jan 24 25 26 2014 ?
 

I calculate over $4100 in cash and stuff given to the racers at this event in addition to the posted and guaranteed prize money.

The weather looks to be awesome with predictions of 67-73 degree weather, great DA, and a welcoming staff that is looking forward to the first pull through the gate.

You've gotta have a really good reason to miss this one!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: West Coast S/SS Combo Jan 24 25 26 2014 ?
 

There is not or ever was a Combo Race planned for Sacramento This Weekend.

Jerry Stein

Re: West Coast S/SS Combo Jan 24 25 26 2014 ?
 

Soooooo...that means you guys are bringing a Dart, T-Bird, Demon, and fleet of Loge-mobiles to Famoso, right?

Ain't peer pressure a b*&$@? LOL!

Re: West Coast S/SS Combo Jan 24 25 26 2014 ?
 

Hey Jerry , I never said you guys were having a combo race I was just making a point that even testing at sac was a waist of time .... lmo. Hope to see you guys at Famoso.

Re: West Coast S/SS Combo Jan 24 25 26 2014 ?
 

There is a La Quinta Inn South of the track at 8858 Spectrum Park Way Bakersfield. CA 93308 ( 661) 393 7775 and rooms were around 70 a night . Have stayed there many times is a clean and decent place to stay. Also right next door to is Hampton Inn by Hilton (661) 391 0600

Re: West Coast S/SS Combo Jan 24 25 26 2014 ?

Just heard about a possible high wind advisory for the Grapevine and Bakersfield for Thursday night through Friday afternoon, it's supposed to be really strong.
Check on it if your thinking about traveling then with a high profile rig.

Not this weekend Jerry! The last time we spoke at Sonoma you asked if we would test if you put something together . I said I would be interested.
