Don't know about the 1/4 mile next year but, this Friday is still going forward. Cars must be there at 3 pm. Only 100 cars allowed for this Friday according to their e-mail.

i made it out, was different..no tree or times, run your bud for the win. they will go this format for month of may and if all goes well, tree to follow with times. here's one of my runs. i didn't work it hard, once i pulled past the t/a just enough to beat.

i wanted to run the gtr to see what i can do against him, but he left when i decided to run.

very nice. how was traction there decent for street setup? prob not allowed to do burnouts on slick/street slick huh? also how was the turn out I would like to see it take off. being in the keys kinda sucks its a mission to really do anything. by the way your car was looking really clean in the vid, nice.

yeah, traction not so great, but you could burn out to get some heat going in your tires. i soft launched in all my runs and only did enough to be my competition.
there where some GTRs that I wanted to run but they where launching nice off the line...all wheel drive.
going again next week friday.

10 to watch, 30 to run
i only ran a few times as i beat all those i ran with ease
going back next week to try and run the GTRs

not a whole lot of cars ran, i got there at 8pm and saw about 15 cars run. could've gotten a lot more runs it but no fun without the times or more buds to run.
come out next friday..pm me if you are going to make it. got a GTO, C5 Vette, GNX, Cobra and EVO who are buds of mine coming out next week, might have a match for you in the bunch.
