Friday was retarded too... Took until 10 o-clock for one of the cars with us to make hit. Pretty sad considering I saw the racecars/bike line go 3 times while we waited.

Zac, whenever you all go the trick is to run NT, goes alot faster. I can make 2-3 hits before most people get one run.

I normally do with the Cobra, (Cause it's so slow It's embarrassing) but this time we didn't.

And even my GF who knows nothing about this stuff said all the stock trucks out there needed to go away.

I just smiled and thought of the last track thread.

Lines did suck. We were in line at 4pm, didn't get 1 run in until 7pm, but the bikes went 3 times before we did. Got 3 runs in before they closed since everyone started to leave and I thought the track was great. Scott and I both got out 11 sec time slips in my car.
Scott 11.70 @118mph
Me 11.88 @119mph

i think the reason for the lines being so bad yesterday is that Roy Hill Drag Racing school was there, at least thats what there calendar called for.

I was out at sealy a few weeks ago when it was cold and couldn't hook for anything. But I got about 10 runs in with hardly any waiting.

We finally got to go a little while later and I got 2 runs in after that. I let my step son run the first with me in it, then I ran again..

I think I'm going to hit up Sealy on Saturday as well. Went to HRP Sunday night, but was a little late due to the i-10 construction bs. So I didn't even bother trying to run, I think tech was closed by then anyways.

I made 5 runs and waited about an hour between them. I made two quick passes as they were shutting down the lanes.

The weather was great and I got my first ever 1.8xx 60' and my second pb of 12.18. Not bad for a bone stock Vette with run flat tires, so my launching was good.

Yea the lines sucked, and they don't seem to give a crap about street cars.

Problem is that I live in Pasadena which is less than 30 minutes away and the track is a great track to run on, especially this time of year. So I may head out to Sealy to check out the track, but HRP is still my 'home' track.
