Hi Blake :cheers

Any suggestions for a good camping spot for a trailer? Looking more for a party crowd than the family vacation setting.

oldskoolstang 04-08-2013 01:37 PM

I'm going to try and make this event to spectate. Hopefully, I'm around and can make it. It looks like a good time and a chance to see some really fast cars airing it out....

oldskoolstang 04-08-2013 06:41 PM

I'm planning on being there, but with me seeking new employment opportunities......I can't even say what state I will be living in in September.....such is life.

Not sure about a trailer, but the days inn last year was the party spot.

bababuschka 04-09-2013 11:21 AM

I might have to check the Days INN out, I just wanna be able to have a few beers and not get told to quiet down because quiet hours are from 2000-0800

RED04Z06 04-16-2013 11:43 AM

Signed up for Saturday

RoadconeTuning 04-16-2013 12:46 PM

We ended up renting a badass 4 bedroom house for less than the cost of a hotel. 2 nights was like 350 total.

I found it on vrbo.com. Just search for Clayton ga, there are a ton of cool rental houses a available for a decent price

RoadconeTuning 08-28-2013 09:31 AM

I'm liking coming down to hang out for the day

Yea, if you have enough peeps, def a better deal. I found the days inn :D

Are you trailering your car and bringing your own E, or are there plenty of stations down that way that have it?

It's all a moot point if I cannot find another house sitter. Worthless FKn teenagers :rolleyes:

im going to drive it. Too many fun mountain roads up that way not to drive it

I would be very very surprised if you can find pump e85 up there. e85 fuelfinder says the closest pump is 80miles away. Ill be running on either q16 or vpImport, not sure yet. I know VP will be there so they can probably hook you up with e85 if you dont want to bring it

This is the part I hate about using E85

I'm not familiar with those other two fuels and willing to be I could not use them without recal'ing the tune. Looking forward to a great time up there regardless of bringing my car or not!!!

its looking like my tuner is going to have 2 fresh 55 gallon drums of e85 for the weekend so im sure we can work something out

edit: hes going to fill me a drum from him local pump. 3.09 a gallon and 82% ethanol. How much do you think you will need for the weekend?

yup. she will be done for a private dragstrip rental the wednesday before the event for some shakedown passes.

Im shooting for 195+ on the new build so hopefully i can pull it off. Car should be making right around 1200 at the wheels on e85

With that kind of power, you should be right around that speed. I wouldn't be surprised to see 200. This event is a little smoother than carrabelle in my opinion with a much longer shut down area. The only issue is its a little higher in elevation. I'm hoping for 165 with "only" having 700hp.

I think my wife and I just decided to take the Tahoe instead. I definitely appreciate the offer.

Flex fuel kit!! Sensor gets installed in the fuel line and changes the fueling and spark depending on the ratio of ethanol/gasoline
