LAPEER 6/6/09
OK, listen up all of you unemployed Michigan guys.
Doesn't seem that we have had a Lapeer Dragway Meet in a while. How about Saturday June 6th?
I expect the usual suspects will chime in here.

So chime in.

I think of it as rustic. The toilet is better than a Porta-John and dirt parking has never been muddy when I was there (the track is paved though). 
There are no timing lights... they announce your times over the loudspeaker (if you can hear it over the noise)... but there is a christmas tree.
Despite these negatives you get to run your car as often as you dare. I ran mine 12 times one day last year. Its not close but its the closest track to my house.

Are the clocks accurate? Do they at least give you the slips?
I had some issues with Milan recently, and not real comfortable going back. Plus it's usually busy as hell there.
So you're saying it's usually easy to get many runs there?

Well as Jack said you could call it rustic. If you are looking for personal best than this is not the place for you. I believe Jack ran a 13.1 out there but his car is probably capable of high 12's.
I don't know if the clocks are accurate - I highly doubt the NHRA has been out there lately.
It is a nice laid back place though to hang out and get some runs. I just want to hang out and see some of your cars. My lease is up on mine in about 6 months and I will be crossing to the dark side. A nice family vehicle...

Seriously... an SRT8 Charger? Don't (or can't) want to keep the Stang? Don't get me wrong it's an awesome car, but wouldn't be fun to mod the Mustang?

The Charger is kind of a unique car to me as I do not see many SRT8's on the road. Of course this is money and job willing so i guess we will see. I can get an 07 SRT8 with under 30k miles for close to 20 grand. If money is to tight I will keep this car or look at a termie. And if I am jobless there is always a Pinto.
