haha, why don't you head out? Racing ends at 4 leaving plenty of time to be home in time for the Superbowl.

WTF tracks are open already? Or are they only opening based on the temperature?

Atco tries to open year round weather permitting. The full schedules for the NJ tracks start in late Feb early March

It was awesome today. Track rental atmosphere almost. I ended up getting 22 runs in and that was while taking an hour break to run and get gas and let the clutch cool down after it ended up getting stuck to the floor one run. I also beat my old PB by 4 tenths.

wasn't that bad for me since I'm only a bolt on car. I was able to pull off a 1.90 60'. Track prep was good in the morning but faded as the day went on.

That's what happened to me on the 2nd to last day that they were open in December, traction slowly went away as the day wore on, nothing I tried seemed to help either.

In the last 45 minutes I decided to do another set of hot laps with the car and I was still able to pull off a 12.69(best run was a 12.52), but my mph was down a solid 2 mph. Idk if it was the track not holding it, or my stock clutch slipping.
