Just wondering if anyone was planning on going to Cayuga Dragway
Saturday? (tomorrow) I've got an appointment for Friday to get the winter
junk steam cleaned off my engine so I can install all my summer "go-fast
parts". I was just wondering if anyone else was thinking about going? I
won't be racing as seriously as I would a normal wed. night at NYIRP, but I
figure it would be fun to make a few runs, get to meet up with my fellow
DMLers again, and mebbe even race 'em. :-) If it rains, we could always
do a sort've "mini DML meet" and go out to get some lunch or something...
In case you missed it, here is Bob's original post:
