The line lock and console switch plate are sitting on the counter, the 2-Step is on its way and the rear coilovers will be here Friday.

Brained is doing a pretty good overhaul pass it everyday. Hopefully it will be good, that track has the potential to be a great eighth mile track. Should open up in a couple more weeks strong what I'm hearing.

crmartin99 ... since you pass it everyday, keep us updated. Maybe they will post an opening day sign!
It will be a good place to test my rear coilovers, line lock and 2-Step if it opens before April 28th ... that's the day of a Silver Dollar track day that I am still considering.

Just a bolt on mild stall trans am. Hoping for 7.99. Only have ran it one time down the track on motor with this setup (used to have a 100 shot). It went 8.1x on a 28inch tall tire. Just got a set of 275 40 18 drs so maybe it will make it. Going to start working on suspension this year.

I was in the same boat about a year ago ... it all came, but it came slow. I have never had the oppurtunity to mod a car that was not my daily driver ... I love it ... !

I was able to speak to Steven Farrow at the "NEW" Brainerd Optimist Drag Strip at the main number and he mentioned they were "shooting" for a 1st weekend in May opening with a TnT maybe Friday night the 4th. I am hoping for a TnT on Saturday or Sunday since a Friday night TnT is too far for me or at least some Saturday or Sunday openings for time only runs.

sounds good, in the past, early in racing season they would open up some sundays, but that was usually when it was too cold friday night to open. Might just have to get ur junk ready and leave work early on a friday! lol
