30% chance of rain until 9pm, then it's 20%.

Doubt it will rain, but who knows.

I called them up and they said they are seriously doubting any bad weather and plan on races happening.

I dont get out there a lot, pretty new to racing and all.. They said that the free nitrous friday races begin at 8pm. Yall know if any other open races begin earlier?

They open the gates at 8pm and run from 9pm until 2am.

There's a few 1/8 mile tracks around that are, most likely, open earlier.

www.texasraceway.com
www.redlineraceway.com
www.dentondragway.com

There's also Yello Belly, not sure if they have a website though.

Was nice meeting the two of you who came up and said hi!

I dident do as good as I thought I would, but then again I still had that heavy 45lb+32lb wheel/tire combo. Right before I left I did top my personal best, now its at a 14.41 with 60' of 2.3 and trap speed of 97mph. My previous best was 14.65 and 98mph.

Was nice meeting you as well Lurius, that's a clean truck you have.

Congratulations on the new personal best. By the end of the night, I was wishing I brought my car out. Oh well, maybe next time.
