hey guys!

ok it's that time of the month again. this sunday is another flashlight drags event down in Waynesburg PA at the Greene County Airport. note that these are 1/8th mile drags due to runway length and safety reasons. regardless still fun.

Flashlight Drags

Sunday June 24th
Greene County Airport
Gates open at 12 noon
Racing 2-6pm
i think it's $25 to race all day

these events are alot of fun. staging doesnt take long and you can get alot of runs in. i usually end up doing the "pink slip" races where 8 "pink slips" are randomly given out to people in each class and you can battle all day to get a slip and at about 5:30 they race the 8 slip holders down to a champion for a nice handmade trophy of old auto parts.

i will def be there. also my one friend is proabably coming with a hyundai genesis. also talking to my friend with a 350 to see if he can make it

last time i went there were almost 300 cars running!!!
also there were 4 350Z's one of which was TT and ran down a GT-R....once lol
i think he cranked his boost to do it and blew something lol

if any of you guys are interested let me know. we can all meet up there or roll together depending on where you are coming from. if anyone goes we can all set up together and if thats the case i can bring my 10x10 pop up tent to give us some shade since there is no tress or anything around the air strip. if anyone wants more info or talk more just post in here or PM me.

Hey guys, just found this thread. I'm from the Pittsburgh area.
I didn't realize the Flashlight drags were still going on, I used to go to the ones in Zelienople back when i had my Evo. I've been out of the game for about 3 years though.

FPenvy, I see your from Pittsburgh, is there anything going on around here anytime soon? I saw you mentioned shows in Wexford, that's where I am.

Yea I used to go to the drags in Zeli as well. All places shut down on flashlight drags due to the FAA or whatever giving the hell about it. Waynesburg is the only place that told the FAA to piss off and still allow them lol

I have been tryin to get interest and find more local people with Z and have meets from time to time. There just isn't a lot of 370s around I guess.

I live like 15 minutes from Wexford and also work in cranberry.

bvdawg13 08-15-2012 06:07 AM

How far are the flashlight drags from Cranberry area? Any more left this year?

Ya I rarely see any 370's, I saw a white one in Seven Fields about a week ago. I know the Evo guys would go down to Dave n Busters and hangout around the waterfront, wonder if we can get enough Z's to do that. Do any ever show up at the Wexford car show at the church?

the flashlight drags are in waynesburg and from cranberry it's about an hour depending on how you drive. i know from my house it's 60 miles since i went to college in that town and it takes me about 50 minutes to get there.

yes there are 2 event left. august 26th and September 8th.

i have not actually went to the wexford church car shows in a while so i dont know if any Z's show up there.

Just came across this thread. I live by Imperial to the west of Pittsburgh. I've had 4 Zs since I've lived in Pittsburgh...call it an obsession. Currently though, I am in a Monterey Blue 370z.

I've been a part of a few clubs of the cars I have owned, and it always seems like it's REALLY hard to get a car group together in Pittsburgh. There doesn't seem to be too many car nuts like me around.

A friend of mine used to belong to an STI group of about 12-15 members that would have a meet once a month for wing night at quaker steak n lube in Robinson. But other than that, I don't see much around.

i'm glad more people are finally spotting this thread. and imperial is right by me. thats right by moon and quicksilver golf course. i live in ambridge which is like 15-20 min from robinson.

i really would like to get some Z's together from around here even though i know theres isnt many but by the looks of it there seems to be like 5 or so.

As I was looking at this thread via my phone. I saw a Monterey blue 370 drive by in Moon. I work up here at the army base
