Ubly track day?

[Lisa]

It seems like there's a lot of people interested in a track day at Ubly. Figure mid to end of July would be perfect so everyone should have their cars ready by then. It would be nice to get some of the other local people involved from other sites too.

Any suggestions on a day, ideas, etc?

[Crazzy_Al]

Definitely a weekend.

[Strtracer]

Saturday in July, cause the track is usually quiet. Plenty of room for us and the ability to run as much as you want. We made 24 passes one year on a Sat T&T at Ubly.

You know I will be there.

[BigWheelinBubba]

I'm there, along with at least 4 friends and their cars.

[99SVTAddict]

July? Why not like May? If peoples car's aren't ready they can plan on July then...

July just seems so far away.

[Lisa]

Oh we are going to have more that one track event. May's good too. :cool:

I'm just thinking that this one (probably July?) we could get everyone involved (people from other sites, clubs, etc..), set up some good grudge races, make some new friends, etc.

What do you guys/gals think? :gears:

[99SVTAddict]

I don't want to make new friends :squintfu:

Been there done that quite a few times... I always wear shorts in the pits then throw my jeans on over them when i go to make a pass.

[Crazzy_Al]

Why? It's been 3+ years since I've been to a track and the few times I went were never during the summer...plus I almost never wear shorts.

[BigWheelinBubba]

How far is Ubly from Clinton Twp area? I'm always up for racing at a new place.

[BigWheelinBubba]

How far is Ubly from Clinton Twp area? I'm always up for racing at a new place.
About an hour and a half to two hours...

[99SVTAddict]

I'm in Clinton Twp off Hall Rd....about a 1 hour 40 minute drive if I remember right.

That's because you drive like a little old lady! :P




J/K!! :D

[99SVTAddict]

You must smoke crack on the way up there and just lose track of time...cause each time I've gone it took us all over 1.5 hours.

:smoke: :weed:

:D

Umm....no. Maybe I took one of your geritol pills by mistake though? :lol:

And again, it took so long because you drive like a little old lady! :P :D

Ok, well I just looked at 1000 other schedules (we have quite a few members who do FFW, NMRA, etc....) Well, Saturday July 16th seems to be the perfect day....nothing is going on anywhere else that I know of. I just contacted Ubly to secure this date for us. Once I hear back from them I'll post an official thread on it.

Sound good? :bna:

Off Ubly's website...just a heads up:

"11.50 - 13.49 Roll Bar or Roll Cage For Convertibles"

Ain't this some shit. You go 13.49 or quicker you need a roll bar!!?? Guess theres one more reason to street race :(

Thats an improvement, it used to be that a convert required a bar or cage at 13.99, just like the requirement for hardtops used to be 11.99 and now its 11.49.. Look at it this way, a 13.49 is gonna net you a 100mph trap speed, would you want to end up on your softtop at 100mph.

I agree a soft top car needs a cage, but a hard top car, unless i'm misinterpreting the rule, it has to have a "roll bar" if it goes 13.49 or faster.

There are just too many people out there that have stock musclecars that'll go that fast and they don't want a "roll bar". So in other words it means if you don't put a roll bar in your car you can't run it at the track pretty much. So then where are people supposed to "legally" have some fun with their cars? That rule :confused: just doesn't make a lot of sense to me...

Youre reading it wrong, 11.49 or quicker for hardtop, any convert 13.49-11.49 must have bar or cage. Both major sanctioning bodys now have the same hardtop and softtop rule. Again, a convert needs a rollbar if it is quicker than 13.50, and a hardtop needs one if it is quicker than 11.50

Ubly usually isn't that strict. Their big thing is no shorts if your racing. Unless all that changed? :dunno:

Ubly tech: "ya'll forgot ya'll doors....thats ok, just bring dem' damn things next time!" :D
