OK, just a few housekeeping items for this weekend:

1) Registration will be available at the track on Friday during the day, Friday evening at the museum and Saturday morning at the track. Please note that if you are bringing a spouse/guest/friend, the cost for the Saturday night BBQ is $10 (cash only). This meal is included in your registration for particiapants.

2) The "street" drag racing is Saturday night and is optional. It does have its own Top Pony trophies by class, but also contributes points to the overall awards for the weekend. The cost is $30 (cash only). The cars that are participating will be asked to grid in the road course staging lanes before the BBQ and pay at that point. The racing will be held after dinner, but make sure to abstain from the bar if you're participating as you will not be allowed to race after even one drink.

3) It's the end of the season and his supply of Sunoco GT260 race fuel is limited. If you are in need of a significant amount, please contact George now. Bosselman's Pump & Pantry near the track has 91+ premium.

Looking forward to a great weekend!

 

Every time I've been to Hastings it's been raining, so looking forward to some cool, dry (relatively, it's still Nebraska) weather!

 

No worries, we ordered the rain for today, and it should be in the 70s and 60s Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We can't have our Colorado friends coming this far and have them upset, ha.

Hope to get out to your neck of the woods next year to run HPR !

 

I hear you. I went down a few weeks ago to get a couple days in and had a great first day but a washout the second. Oh well it's still showing ZERO chance of rain all three days. You will want to bring a jacket though, Saturday now showing a high of 67 and sunny but a low of 37!

Bill's right you'll see a bump in hp, and quite possibly more than 50. That clubhouse table's in danger of being turned into sawdust

 

Reference ;

Clubhouse Table being turned to sawdust. This is due to the fact that if you get into the 1:30s you get to burn your name into a table. Last year quite a few did just that, but George didn't let all of us do it for fear of burning down the Clubhouse. This year, he might as well have the local Fire Dept. on standby --- gonna be a bunch of burnings by Bossmasters!!!

 

Actually I have the track Fire Truck parked next to the Clubhouse now!

Mowed the Track edge tonight....setting up grid tomorrow evening and the car Show area next to Grid.

I can't believe we have this many participants.....and they keep coming in!

George

 

Big turnout for sure. Track schedule looks good. I'm expecting to see a lot of pictures/videos/feedback after the weekend is over!

 

We've got a really nice mix from across the country. So far we have people coming from 11 states including:

CO, FL, IA, IN, KS, MI, MO, NE, SD, TX and WY

George sent me a pic of some of the trophies you guys are battling for and they look great

 

Sure glad Gary is good with posting pictures, as George sends me these things too, and old fart that I am , I don't know how to transfer them , so......thanks Gary, you are doing a great job.

Friday 70 degrees , chance of rain 0%
Saturday 69 degrees, chance of rain 0%
Sunday 69 degrees, chance of rain 0%

That is one trophy weekend set up for Mustang and Ford afficianados!!!!

 

Cool looking trophies!

 

Here are last year's which were also very cool

 

****, I would've been the only car from CA !
I was subpoenaed to testify at a Administrative Hearing today.......and the Dufus who was contesting the stripping of his CPA license was a No Show
Have a great time ya' all. Totally jealous

 

Sorry you couldn't make it this year Charlie but put it down for next year!

 

From George Anderson's latest count --
21 New Boss 302s
13 Newer Shelbys ( 2007 -2013 GT 500s )
At least 2 Shelby AC Cobra Continuation beasts
2 Cobra Jet Drag Cars
4-5 Old Bosses ( even a 429 )
2-3 Old Shelby Mustangs , at least 2 are Shelby GT500s
2-3 Cobra Rs
2-4 Older Mach 1s
1 Shelby Super Snake

.............and many more. Now you have more reasons besides all the fun , 5 Ford Engineers, etc. to be at Hastings, this Friday , Saturday, and Sunday

 

And at least THREE 302Ss

 

Good catch , Gary, I thought there was only going to be one 302s coming, since Smitty had a little boo-boo at Mid Ohio.

Have a friend who may be stopping up with his Ford GT, so pretty sure we will see alot of Fords that folks lust over.

 

Starting my packing. Loading up tomorrow morning and on the road by 11 a.m.

Trying to decide if I want to carry a set of street tires with me or just the one set of stickies.

 

Oh , and there will also be one Comp. Orange Boss there from Colorado with a really nice U-Haul trailer. Sorry, John, I shouda put you on the list. Note: I did not promise anyone your car would be clean, so no worries , you won't have to wash it when you get to Hastings!!!!

 

Still zero % chance of rain all three days unless you're bringing them to run in the "stock class"

 

The car is clean. The Jeep is clean. The wheels on the car are filthy... but if someone wants to take home a set of 18x9.5 GT500 wheels (REALLY good shape) with some worn Hankook RS3's... let me know. I'd rather sell them than tote them back to Colorado

Don't worry about cleaning your car Bill... I'm sure I can dust it off for you once I see the point by
