What's wrong with your car?

Hopefully its just a bad tank of gas, but right now the engine stalls if the revs fall below 2K and its spitting out dark smoke. Here's the thread where I whine about it: http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?s...=0&p=816525 (there's video, too).

You guys volunteered my to come... but no one has mentioned that I would cook? You make me feel bad... :(  I'm always happy to man the grill. Just let me know Jesus.

Oh my, that's not good. Is the gas from that one gas station you took me to that one day? Hope it works itself out of the system.

Ok, here goes nothing.

Friday 12/1/06:

Speedworld. 6:30-10:30 1/4 mile track. Get out of your everyday Volvo routine and LEGALLY race at Speedworld. Here is a link to their site. Gates open at 6 I believe and racing usually doesnt start until 6:30 for the bikes and drag cars. Most likely the street cars wont start until around 7. Cost is $15 to race and $10 to watch. If your times are below 13.9 s for the 1/4 mile, you will need a DOT approved helmet, as well as your passenger (if you race with one).

For those of you that dont feel like racing, its still a fun time to go out and see the cars. There are plenty of nice and fast cars there every Friday night, so come out and enjoy the Volvos racing.

After the track we can all get something to eat down the road in Orlando. Maybe someone local will give us an idea of what a good place to eat is. If anyone is coming from a place far away, ie Gainesville, arrangements can be made for a place to stay. If worst comes to worst, there are plenty of hotel rooms in the Orlando area and I happen to work at Comfort Inn so I can bring some friends and family discount tickets with me. Please PM me if you cant find a place to stay, I will be checking room availability at a few places over the next few weeks.

Saturday 12/2/06:

UPDATED: BBQ will take place at Jesus' (h3s00s70t5) house. Click here for directions. 417 is a toll road for those of you not too familiar with the area. Expect to pay tolls if you are coming into Orlando from nearly any direction. If you are coming from the south and dont feel like paying any tolls, I-95 to SR 50 is generally a good choice. Speedworld is right on SR 50 and Jesus doesnt live too far from there.

Here is an image courtesy of Jesus himself, this is an overview of his neighborhood and the Winn Dixie nearby:

Most likely we will meet up around 11-noon and get a BBQ going. Best thing to do is wait til people start to arrive to buy the food. We will decide what is needed and what to buy when we have some people at Jesus' house.

Again, if anyone needs a place to stay, please let me know. I can get rooms for pretty cheap in the Orlando area. There are people that are offering a couch to crash on for the night, so you can make arrangements with them but if you want a hotel room, you will need to give a few days notice so I can reserve them at a discounted rate.

Lets get this thing rolling people. Sign up list is below. Make a new post of what days you are going to make it, racing or not racing (Friday night only), and what (chips, drinks, burgers, etc...) and how much you are going to bring.

Definates:

1. TM850R (Tony), Hopefully both days, racing, hot dogs (quantity depends on meet size)

2. VolvoFORLife , both days (needs a place to stay), racing, soda/ice

3. H3s00s70T5 (Jesus), both days, racing?, might be using his place as a staging area
