WCBF11 - Oregon July 19 - 24

[2000Silverbullet]

Moving the cruise to the coast to Saturday is a suggestion since there will not be any Races at Woodburn on Saturday, just Friday night. We could still do the cruise on Thursday but I figured Saturday might be better and give more people a chance to partake in one of the highlights of the Meet.

Yes a helmet is required for 13.999 or faster. DOT approved. Any performance shop or motorcycle store. About $150......or just borrow one from a friend.

[2000CadillacSTS]

Alright. Sounds good, thanks!

[myfirstbonnie]

I got a loaner for you. Bought it the year the Chicken spun a bearing. You are welcome to use it if you need to.

[2000Silverbullet]

Ahhhhh, does that really mean you won't be using it?
Dang. I would have loved to see the potential of the Chicken dancing like a Rooster instead of a Hen laying another egg.

[myfirstbonnie]

Like I said, the truck was an unexpected expense and if I do get it done it would not race.

Don't get me wrong, once it is broken in and everything is up to par, it will get run like hell. I am not going to mod it and not run it to have fun.

[00Beast]

FWIW, I got my helmet for $75 online. You guys are lucky, my local tracks require helmets no matter what.

[2000Silverbullet]

It gets so hot there at that time of year, it's nice to have a choice and post a 14.0 just so you don't HAVE to wear the sweat hat.

[2000Silverbullet]

Matt, you know what they say when your C--k does not perform. (sound of a rooster crowing)

[rrounds]

Are you sure its not a SNELL approved helmet instead of DOT approved that you need.
It would suck if someone bought a DOT helmet and the track would not let them race.
I know that the tracks in CA require a SNELL approved helmet.

ROD

[2000Silverbullet]

Yes Rod is exactly right.
Mine is Snell M2000 DOT rated full face with visor......and it expires after this season.

Be sure to check that snell sticker on you old helmet because NHRA rules for 2009 state that "any car running 14.00 and quicker in the 1/4 mile requires a Snell K98 or 2000 or newer OR SFI 41.1A helmet (see complete list below)". Also a new NHRA rule for '08 requires that "any car running 9.99 or quicker in the 1/4 mile requires an NHRA approved FULL face helmet with visor.

The NHRA 2010 Rule Book Reads as follows for Helmets and Goggles:
As outlined under Class Requirements, drivers in all classes, including motorcycles, must wear a helmet meeting Snell or SFI Specifications.
SFI Spec 31.1A = Snell SA, open-face helmet
SFI Spec 31.2A = Snell SA, full-face helmet
SFI Spec 41.1A = Snell M, open-face helmet
SFI Spec 41.2A = Snell M , full-face helmet


Effective Jan. 1, 2008, full face helmet mandatory on all cars 9.99 or quicker. See Individual Class Requirements for additional requirements. Shield mandatory 7.49 & quicker.
E.T. cars (13.99 or quicker) must use a helmet meeting Snell 2000, 2005, 2007 or SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, 31.1/2005, 41.1A, 41.2A or 41.1/2005 Specs. Drivers in supercharged, front-engine, open-bodied cars and Funny Cars must wear a helmet meeting Snell SA2000, SA2005 or SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, or 31.1/2005 Specs. See Class Requirements.

NHRA Helmet Expiration Dates
Label Expires Label Expires
SFI 41.1A 1/1/2014
Snell 2000 1/1/2012 SFI 41.2A 1/1/2014
Snell 2005 1/1/2017 SFI 31.1/2005 1/1/2017
Snell 2010 1/1/2022 SFI 41.1/2005 1/1/2017
SFI 31.1A 1/1/2014 SFI 24.1 (JDRL only) 1/1/2015

Thanks! I actually found a buddy at work that's gonna let me borrow his, but if that falls through for some reason I will definitely take you up on that.

[rrounds]

I did a quick search and found this one that is cheap

[spoiledred94]

What's the route to the coast? North up to 22 or the route from Corvallis West through to Florence? If I thought I could do less than 14 ...

[01bonneSC]

I will probably regret saying this but.....I wont be attending WCBF '11

I just dont think I can take the time off work as I have most of my vacation time set aside for other activities this year.

Also I really want to go to this with my '64. It will be my deadline for me to get it done.

I appologize to everyone and Im sure you all will have the most bodacious time!!!!

[PontiacMom]

We are not coming down this year, and I am speaking for the entire Pontiac Family. We have a lot of reasons why, but the main is that we are going to be going to Arizona for Christmas this year, and two trips down the States is just too much, especially when none of the people from the States come up here.......

[2000Silverbullet]

especially when none of the people from the States come up here.......

Yes that is really unfortunate although understandable with the state of their economy.
There is so much beauty to behold and black top to explore. Totally different scenery and culture in many regards.

Hey, did they know that Alberta is tax free and the fuel is cheaper here than on the West Coast. That's how OmpaMatt can afford to fuel his G8......among other things....

[01bonneSC]

How do you all price your fuel?

Going off this site...
http://www.albertagasprices.com/index.aspx?fuel=C

112.9 was cheapest when i posted. 112.9 of what?

[spoiledred94]

that's got to be per liter(e) :beer chug:

Hope you guys make it anyway
