Default Rpr 2/11/11

Who is going? Reds, Bill, Andrew, Jim, James, Maddox, or any of you usual suspects? I'll be out there around 630. Hope to see everybody out there and meet some new folks! Air is fantastic!

We were at a bracket race a number of years back, it was pouring rain. We called the front desk to see if they were racing and if it wasnt' raining. They said no rain and the cars are going down the track. So take that for what it's worth. Best thing to do is get on www.houstonarearacing.com and find out from someone in the know.

Since there is no rain in the area I'm not going to worry about that one. I was just more concerned with track temp being too cold and they not opening.

If they do close its not a big deal. I've been wanting to drive my car anyways.

I will be out there to make a few passes; I hope to make some decent runs once the air gets cold.

I am carrying my tires in the trunk and will have to switch them when there but I lack a jack other than the factory scissor jack haha

I was out there in the Silver LS2 C6 with black wheels up front and C5 Z's out back with DR's. You may also recognize me as having the misfortune of having the shitty stock LS2 battery that died on me due to the cold...the result is me spending money tomorrow morning for an Optima.

It was moving out pretty hard, but I could only make two good passes because of no rollbars....not enough to practice and get a good launch down

It's a full bolton car minus a ported throttlebody or rear-gears.

60 - 1.704
330 - 4.775
1/8 - 7.3 @ 98.26 (best was a 7.29 @ 98.38)
1000 - 9.472
1/4 - 11.29 @ 122.12

I got to run Old Goat on what appears to be a new best of 11.9 for him.

Thanks, it was a great night for the big grocery getter. I got my first 11.9XX, then got two more high 11's to back it up with.
