Thinking about going once it gets warmer. They do Auto-X's out the wazoo.

I know, they have different regional chapters everywhere, I was just linking the one for this area to give him an idea of what they are/do. The Pittsburg area SCCA link is: Steel Cities Region of the SCCA

hey everyone!

quick update for everyone.

just saw today that the dates for this coming season of flashlight drags has been posted online at Flashlight Drags - Street Racing Without The Jail Time!

May 5th - Sunday - Waynesburg PA
June 2nd - Sunday - Waynesburg PA
July 7th - Sunday - Waynesburg PA
August 4th - Sunday - Waynesburg PA
September 14th - Saturday - Waynesburg PA

gates open at 11:30 for racers and about 12 for spectators.
drivers meeting is usually right around 1pm.
racing starts at 2pm

these events are always fun. from 2pm-430pm you can get alot of runs in even when there is a large group of cars there. along with fun runs there is a singles lane if you dont have someone to run.

also there is a "pink slips" race. they break you down into certain categories (big dogs, street, tuner, and trucks). they hand out 8 "pink slips" and if you dont get one you can challenge someone for theirs and if you have one you cant say no to a challenge. at 4:30 the 8 people holding slips for their class race each other until 1 remains. thats what i usually with a couple fun runs since people rarely see a 370 and want to race me.

depending on vacation plans later in the summer i should be at every one of these events.

yea if youre in mo town it's a short drive for you. i actually went to college in waynesburg thats how i initially found out about these lol

i will be running in every event. unless by chance one week falls on whenever i possibly take a vacation. since i'm using some of my vaca days from work for ZdayZ in may my other plans are limited.

I would like to make a few, sounds like fun. Im gonna try and get some guys at work to come as well, its a mixed crowd, but good guys. I see they say no slicks, so I take it dot drag radials would be ok..dunno if you have any idea. Shane is rebuilding his neon and it now will be utterly useless on street tires...this thing is insane. I will have the clutch/flywheel in and hopefully tuned by then, considering some of the cars I was beating in the 1/4 last year with my 350 it should be fun, at least at PRP there are many people who cannot drive their cars...I like beating corvettes, mustangs and camaros!

Dot radials are fine but if you're running them they typically bump you up a class if you're running in "pink slip" races which I typically do. I'm there I paid so I figure might as well. It's a fun addition to just running.

Also the more the merrier bring whoever There are tons of different kinds if cars and even trucks. It's pretty cool watching some of the big diesel trucks running lol

Anyone have any local recommendations for powder coating? THere is a guy in my old hometown that did it, but I recently heard he went whacko with his pricing and its is astronomical...Got one suggest for a place in Delmont. My Southbend clutch and flywheel are sitting in my parents garage..

If you're up to the idea, Mike the Powdercoater is on the forum and is in GA, so you'd have to ship to him, but he does Great work with good prices.
