Re: Shark Sighting
Adam,
Cool! looking forward to seeing you., i'm sure i can help you out and give you a good deal. good luck with the torque tube, and as for your other post, i have no idea how the engine will be affected. i would guess that a jack vertainly would not hurt though. better safe than sorry. where do you go for your t-belt adjustments? i've been going to Robert Larson Porsche on South Tacoma way but they are expe$sive!

Re: Shark Sighting
Adam,
Red Robin sounds good but have to pick up my girlfriend at Sea-Tac on Friday at 9:35pm so i have to leave by 9:25pm (he he just kidding.) how about 6:30 to 7:00pm? i'd love to see you guys and some other 928's around here, sometimes i feel like i'm the loner around here. by the way, Adam, i used to live in Puyallup, on 152nd and canyon, i know the area well. i'll keep my eye out for your car.

Re: Shark Sighting
Ray,

Re: Shark Sighting
Tom,
Keep an eye out for a Purple GT on your way to Longview, thats one of my favorite drives along with the highway 7 to Mt. Raineer. sometimes, when its sunny, i just drive to one or the other, get there (insert bathroom break here)and turn around and head right back home, just for the drive. what a kick. maybe i'll see you sometime.

I have scheduled August 4-7 as time off, though I don't think I can make it down to Devek's area in 10 hours (about 830 miles). That's Friday through Monday for me, though I bet I can cut out a little early on Thursday. Curt -----Original Message-----

Don, are you thinking drive toDevek from Willows on Saturday morning, or the night before? We would want tobe at Devek early on Saturday, perhaps by 8:00 to get good parking. Itwill fill up fast. I was thinking of taking the Friday off and driving down (I checked last year and remember it being about 10hrs??). If we leave fairly early, we could be in town around 6:00 pm. Just in time to check in and hit the pre event gathering they usually have. I also remember that Inns of America had a block of rooms available at special rates????

Hey Nick,
Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it. If your schedule happens to open up, just show up. 8am at SIR. The nice thing about my not organizing the event itself is that I don't have to take any deposits. Last minute entries are no problem. -Adam ---------- From: Daffern1@...costs or whatever. |

Re: By the way, Hi!

Hey Andy,
The Pac NW Shark Drags are taking place at SIR on Sunday June 25th. We currently have 16 928's that will be racing. Our "team" is called "Stuttgart Air Force". The cost is $25 to race payable at the gate. T-shirt orders are closed at this time, although there is a chance I may be able to get a couple extra printed up without a nickname printed across the back. There will be an extra charge to cover the costs of our own trophies and prizes, I'll let everyone know what this is when I get the shirts back. I'm shooting for $25 apiece, including the price of the T-shirt. Tech inspection begins at 8am, I would try to be a little early. All spectators are welcome. This is not a private event. We will be participating in the "Hi-Tech Import vs. American Muscle" race day. There will be anywhere from 200-500 participants total. You will get anywhere from 2-5 dial in runs, depending on how many participants there are. From there, you race until you get eliminated. We will have four trophies: "Quick Draw"-fastest reaction time; "Top Gun"-fastest top speed; "Eliminator"- quickest E.T.; "King Shark" - 928 that gets furthest up the ladder; There will also be a Drag Day Poker. All participants guess what their best reaction time, top speed, and E.T. will be. I think I may have people do this after their first dial in. Who ever gets the closest on all three at the end of the day will win the as yet to be determined prize. It'll be a great time Andy, you should go for it. We are all first timers for the most part. You don't have to abuse your car. The key is consistency, not top speed. Even if you decide not to race, please come and check it out, it's always great to meet other shark owners in person. One last note on racing, if you don't go for it now, you may not get another chance. (How's that for pressure?) -Adam Birnbaum '88 S4 A/T - "Exhaust dropped, transaxle half unbolted" ---------- From: Jim & Tina <nebraska@...>I would be up for that, but I would like to meet fellow shark owners!Andy, |
