Ive been there alot track prep is ok. run sum of my best times there. cost is my big prob . 40 to bracket race and get 3 to 5 runs sucks. and test n tune is once in a blue moon. I go 6 or 7 times a year.

Its a good track for its size and crew. Ive raced there for the last 5 years, with the exception of maple grove Ive run my best times. Alot of fellow f body guys there along with very good people.

Also we will be having a special race this year again. The second annual camaro vs firebird vs mustang bracket race. With some heads up time trials before eliminations. Race is for street cars only. It will be held in may. Last year we had around 40 cars enter and it was real late in the year, bad weather, 1 month notice, and only 1/8 mile racing. This year we hope to draw even more. It was a fun time for all, and all the mustangs were gone by the third round!

no they have them only after a rain out and then its the next sat after that. so its bracket racing most of the time. they have 1 or 2 in the begining of the year and a few maybe at the end of the season.

www.nyirp.com They have a test & tune every Wednesday and Friday night. It's usually a pretty fast track too, but it's a little bit farther away

yeah its a bit far from me....but now that I got the trailer I may make a few trips......to nyirp. Esta ha an unusual low amount ot tnt last yr due to freat weather.....they only have them if a race gets rained out...and that only happend 3 times all of last yr....they also usually have time for open runs late in the show on bracket days during cool downs....daylight permitting.

Yeah I did qa1 lca's trq arm, sub frames...i might air bag the rear side too.....also got a bar, hood and took out back seats.

Still need some lighter seats...hope the rear last one more year....the 9in cant go in untill next year now...no time...

hey bad....how long did your stock rear last...wasant it like 3 yrs or so? Of crse I DRAG MINE 2 CLASSES EVERY WEEK MIMIMUM..SUMTIMES MORE IF I HOT ANOTHER TRACK...SOORY BOUT CAPS

It lasted 3 years before I stripped an axle. I don't think you'll break yours with a 3500 stall/3.23's.
