Wow, looks like the track was last november when we were there, slick as hell! Racing in cold weather like this, just isn't safe. That pretty much proves it.

Cold road or track, plus cold tires very often spells disaster....... WJ

$75-80K almost wasted on that ride plus the GTO. I bet that guy was shaking when he got out of the car.. It's a wonder he saved it, good for him though.

I held my breath watching that run. Kinda suck that they could only run the 1/8th cuz of the wind. Alot of cars where skatin around on the track today.
