Did you go out there last week? I think I saw your car is it supercharged and had 18in corvette wheels in the rear? I had the white 99 Z-28 with the bogarts on the rear only.

I'll be there, and I'll make sure to bring the Video Camera. I've never ran 1/8th mile before... I heard the track prep is horrible, whats the news on it?

I'll see you there for sure, I'll be working on the BLUE TA, doing a few more mods, but all in all should be putting down some decent 60 ft times.

Well I dont know how to get there, I need directions, I know that I need to take the 91 West to 71North, then hit the 210 west but after that I dont have a clue can anyone help me out with directions?

Also is Irwindale pretty busy? How many runs do you think I could get in?

if you get there by 5 and it is packed you should get 3-4 runs. The most ive gotten b4 was 10.


Coming from corona take the 91 to 605 north. Exit live oak west i believe. (you can go either way on live oak. go to the seccond one) then kjust make a left at the seccond light at the entrance. If you get to the 210 you have gone too far.

Heres my number in case anyone gets lost or anything. (562)715-6o56

Wouldnt it be faster for me to take the 210? 605N should have some major traffic...

Flash99 you can take the 210 to the 605 South, but I am not sure if there is a Live Oak offramp to the track.

Just get off at Arrow Highway and go right. At the Live Oak intersection, make a sharp left ... the track will be on the right hand side.

since your next to 15 North take that to 210W then too 605 South exit Live Oak

Im local and it takes min 20 to get past 60&605 then 10@605 stay away from 91&605

One just backed out but it is a blown z06, and the other is a iron block stroker nitrous motor. The nitrous c5 is going for sure.
