I think Heater should lock it in since Hio has...

PS. Heater needs to get some of his NC racer pals to come too!

I'd rather not "Lock in" if I don't know if I'll be able to make it. If I can make it, I'll be there; I just don't want to make a hard commitment to something when I can't stand behind it.


As far as me being able to bring some local racers with me, don't hold your breath waiting on that. You probably know that I ran a lot of manual races all over the state this year and just about all of them, I was by myself. I couldn't get anybody to ride along, let alone bring their car.

My buddy ran MR12 in his S1000RR gawd that was an awful smell.

That's understandable and sux that you couldn't get anyone to even help pit bitch for you.

I will probably still be in the 12s too. But it will be fun as hell, and I am sure the trak prep will be on point, and stay on point. With maybe 15-20 cars max running with us that day it will be killer fun.

Poppa prep will be on point, thats what we are paying for. We are getting radial/street tire prep to the 1/8, and slick prep from the 1/8 to the 1/4. They put 2x the amount of glue down for radial/street tires. I don't see us needing radial prep past the 1/8.. 60 ft willl get touched up throughout the day also.
