So it's official, our permit application has been mailed. We are on for the weekend of Sept. 11/12.
PRAY for WIND!!!

Anyone willing to make the drive is welcome to come out and ride. It should be HOOOJ fun!!!

I would like to know how many of you are definitely coming so i can try and scout some accomodations and food for us.

Kelly if you can get some local motel names/numbers that would be greatly appreciated.

hey cheezy
i`ll be there with my blokart. most likey only one day. don`t know which one yet.
but i`ll be there.

Great to see; Good luck with the event. Great distraction for New Yorkers on 9/11!

Hey Cheezy, looks like Rick, Dan, Paul, and myself are definate for the 11-12th and Pete's a maybe. Maybe we'll get a little leftover action from all the storms further south:wee::wee::roll::roll:. Thanks again for all the work in getting this set up and mailing out the permit. I'm ready to burn some rubber:wee::wee:

I'd love to make it cheesy, but unfortunately I'm cash strapped right now. Next year hopefully.

I'm still trying Cheesy, Corey has a color guard event for 9/11 NJROTC

Would love to make it Mark, but I will be working all weekend. Gotta take it when I can!

Hope you have a great event!

Any word if Jaymz will be joining in ?

A.P.B.- Jaymz... where are you...? your presence is requested...:singing:

Yes i will get some more info on the motels near by. some time next week.

It's about 50/50 right now but I might make a day trip of it, I'd love some open space to test the zooter before WW.

That's awesome Ben. Hope you can make it...!

Hope you can make it Ben

YES SIR EEEE fellas! Heard the APB on the news today
Been working my butt off all week and missed PKF a few days.
I should be there both days but might have to leave a little early Sat. The wife made plans to go to dinner with some old college friends and I'm included. Hope it's not a late one and I can get back early on Sunday. I'm bummed I'm gonna miss the Chessy after hours antics Sat night.

I have wanted to try some buggy speed runs on a large piece of tarmac for a long time and am glad that I will finally get to try it. Thanks Cheezy for letting us know that this place exists and for organizing the event.

I a looking forward to checking out Flody Bennett field and to hanging with the traction kiters who make it to the event.

Good to see you posting Dan. Your up to 16. That's like one a year. I'm just busting your chops. I'll be gunning for you though out on the tarmac:evil::evil:...................errrr,,,well,,,,not that I'll catch you but I'll try anyway. Orange cones are in the bag for a little racing action too:moon::wee:

Orange cones?!?!?! GREAT! SLALOM TIME! :wee:

Lets hope we get a little left over wind from the storms coming up the east coast:wee:!

Small Posse forming from the south as we speack...... I'll call you tomorrow Cheesy.

Hope some of you guys can make it Todd. I want to see your afterburners kick in on the tarmac:wee::wee:

Thanks Dean but I'll save the afterburners for Rian on the beach... afterburners + Tarmac = a whole lot skin I can't replace if something happens. How long of a run do we have up there anyways?

From Google maps it looks like each of the 3 runways we have available are 3/4 of a mile long. Plenty of room to crack 60. Or 80 or 90:wee::wee:.

Todds bringin the Afterburners? We may need brakes......and leathers ;-)

Btw, should I leave the buggy in Bigfoot trim, or change back to XR? The wide axle and stability of the BF are a plus, but the smaller XR wheels will be faster and maybe have better grip? Haven't checked, but any way you can run the smaller XR wheels on the wide axle? The BF wheels use a 20mm bolt and the XR uses a 16?

Yes Jim switch over to the smaller rubber, leave the drop tube and extended axle in place but change back to the XR front fork. You'll be rocking and a rolling.

I have some 20mm tires for you to use with that extended axle .

cool guys, i am totally S-T-O-K-E-D !!! will switch my tires out tommorow. can't wait!!
gotta get an impact vest or some pads quickly....:cool2:

Man, I wish I could be there! But if I'm gonna make Wildwood, gotta save my pennies...:saint: What I'd like to know, Dean, is how you plan to hit 60+mph on tarmac/concrete (some of it apparently textured!) with your butt only 4 inches from terra firma, without runnin over them HOOJ BALLZ??!!!:shocked2: Anyway I wish I could join you all, have fun, be safe(as possible) and see you in Wildwood!

Textured gives better adhesion. The belly pan protects the personal undercaraige.

Kelly any word on the hotels...

I'll be there on Saturday
Peter
