Default Gotta love drag racing

I had a good time at the track today. Pittsburgh Raceway Park. I lost in the third round but my car ran real good so i can't complain. I had to buy back in to make it to the 3rd round lol but hey, I had fun.

All I can say is the water is where the water is supposed to be and the oil is where the oil is supposed to be. That makes drag racing fun. vKnock on wood. I'm having a ball. DA was 3,000 + to 3400 + It was freakin' hot.

You got that right Dean. If you ran at Cecil or Atco you would run 3 tenths better. PRP is a great track with great people but it's a slow track because of it's altitude.

Thanks Chris, I'm finially having fun.

Excellent I'll let you know when we are coming down

You should also consider heading up to Toronto for a race Taner, Roman, Paul and all of us are up here. Would be a good time

TMP is fairly close to the niagara region.

I would like that. Thanks Chris. Maybe in the fall. The Niagra Falls is only 3 hours from me. How far is Toronto from the falls?
