2016 Halloween Hooptiefest, who's in (Page 2 of 2)

A subset of the Monkey Football League will be making the trek.  Trying to locate a Halloween costume for the gorilla now.

How large is the infield compared to NJMP?  Does it get crowded?  Is it open to Thursday night  arrivals?

Thanks, that helps.  So the infield is a dirt lot?  I thought the color looked odd from google maps.  We usually camp in tents.  That sucks on gravel.  Maybe it is time we pop our RV cherry.  Bahhhh....

Yea, it's not really gravel, but it sure seems like it if you ever try to drive stakes into the ground. There is some grass, but if you want power it won't be near the grass. I always stay in a tent, and we usually torture ourselves setting up on the infield and ruin a dozen stakes, give up, and tie our tents to fences and/or cars.

It does get cold for the october race. Not unbearably cold, but cold enough to make a tent interesting if you don't have a good sleeping bag.

Even though it's cold, I've still run a cool shirt and been thankful for it. I'll switch it on and off more often, but I still work up a sweat being in all the nomex with heat radiating off the floor.

We got an RV last year and it was totally awesome, especially since we didn't need a DD to get to the hotel and when we woke up we were already 25ft away from the garage.  This year we will probably get a hotel room.  Damn, I need to reserve a hotel room.

Anyway, The Carbeque will be there rubbing bodywork on transitions, alongside the Saab Maab turbo 900, the Full Nelson 96, and the Saabs of Anarchy 9000.  Hopefully we can all get a pair of garages together.  Hopefully... the Saab wing doesn't look like a bomb went off by midday Saturday.

The morons who raced a stock 1998 Mercury Tracer last year are back!
The Tracer was put out of her misery and we're back this year with a sweet, sweet PT Cruiser convertible and taking on the retired moniker of the PT Losers

Also for this year we decided to not be complete buttheads, so we're raising money for Fragile X Syndrome. 100% of the funds raised go to the National Fragile X Foundation (we won't be using donations to pay for our luchador masks and hemorrhoid donuts).

You can read more about our cause on our Facebook page, which is @raceforx
You can also see the awesome video a team member (and professional video documentary-maker) made from last year's race at the link.

Can't wait to get back to the track and see some of the crazy stuff everyone came up with!

Coming with 3 A&D. Life is tough.

Team Pro Crash Duh Nation  will be there, assaulting everyone's eardrums with the Alfa V6 full tilt boogey noise. After taking a 1 race break from the Feast of St. Lemoni Pasta Fest- Its back.

Bring us your tired, dirty greasy messes yearning to eat free, the wretched refuse of your teaming paddock shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my chianti beside the meatball horde!"

Thompson was fun and we manage to take a checker for the first time in 4 races. So I'm setting my sights higher this time. For this race my goal is to not blow up and  have to change a transaxle.

You guys are awesome....
Nice memories of sitting by the fire too!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

On a similar note I have six wheels for a 93 Ford Escort GT.  With tires.  Like $50 for the lot.

please make sure you put Garage #5, in the rear building, on your schedule!
we might be able to do a bit of a booze barter with you....

Cheers!

We will be there with our Integra (hopefully), its been a long 3 weeks of chasing transmission and clutch problems.  Hoping to finally have this resolved tomorrow (FINGERS CROSSED)

Side note, a buddy of ours owns the company Fizzics (www.fizzics.com) and will be sending us up with his beer dispensing machine and a ton of beers from the breweries they partner with.  Come see us after the races for a nice cool brew!
