Default No racing this weekend

I was going to a big bracket race in Douglas, GA Saturday, but the weather ruined those plans. Oh well, maybe next time...

Next Friday I think I'm going to run the car on my el cheapo Grand Am radials at the "Street Legal" night at Gainesville. I want to see if I can run 10's on a true radial tire (no Nittos or Drag Radials).

Ha street tires thats funny. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

I've tried that before, not fun. Had to start out in 2nd gear (M6), and it still wasnt hooking at all. But your running the glide so it might be doable.

Just be careful, I'd hate to see that you spun out and hit the wall or something.

I feel your pain, brother. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I can't find a race today anywhere in the state of Texas. 1st time this summer I have not raced on Sunday. Oh well time to be with the family which is not a bad thing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Have a great Labor Day Weekend. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />
