CLOSED !!! too much water, they spray it on T&T,once ,you have to bitch at them to touch it up when it gets bald spots on the starting line.Just ask Chrs1313,he stood his car up on the back bumper the end of last October on a Saturday night.

so it was a toss up,
whether to bring the snow mobile for early test & tune before the snow melted.......
or the boat for later in the afternoon runs.

soon fellas ...........

I heard rumor that they are finally going to replace all the rotten *** wood on the stands, I hope they clean it up a little... They where very proud of the new paint in the bathrooms for the last shootout race..

i have had a few close calls there.......

in my 2000 ss m6 with 350rwhp hitting 3rd gear with the goodyears on the rear & i shook & slid,drifting right until i had to let up.

in my 69 nova first trip to the track on the very first run with the car,i came out to hard for not knowing the car & everything was new & it shot left on launch,like 1 tire heated up & the other didnt & i was in the left lane & almost hit the wall......it had a big block with a 400 trans with a 5000 stahl & trans brake.

in my GN i was the 1st one up to the tree that evening,we do our burn outs & line up & the starter stops us & tells us to back up a few yards.
so we do for about a half hour because the tree was malfunctioning........they could not get it to work & gave us a rain check & told us to go home......i said ok but i am gonna make a run.....the starter said cool & flagged for us.
well we never heated up are tires & i made it out about 100' & the car shifted right when it hit good boost & broke loose in second & sent me across both lanes & almost hitting the guy in the other lane.

good times!

I think there is no middle of the road when they put VHT down, they either spray the hell out of it or they dont touch it. I wonder how bad it will hurt them if FortWayne gets a track???
