We could convoy down to Atco but I'd be at 55-60 mph the whole way down because my converter doesn't lock up. I usually try and get a trailor for an Atco trip and I've only done that for the rental days.
Besides Alex- now we are BOTH legal for Etown with our nice new Dynatechs.
My best at the end of last year at Atco was a 10.44 and 2 days later I clicked off a 10.46 at Etown so unless it's a rental day, I'll probably pass on the trip. Thanks for the invite though.
Hey, BTW why don't we meet up this Wed night at Etown if you're not busy. I'll definately be there.

I work Wed night. I'll try E-Town but aside for that GH High Tech shootout I was unable to ever hook there as well as I do at Atco.

But, the whole pin on hood, and nitrous just worries me, I know I"m gonna spray my car, and if something under the hood ever went array, it's gonna take a LONG time to get that hood off.......

Finished the wetsanding and buffing and all that sh*t.
Looks pretty good for my very first painting experience but cetainly not as nice as my factory paint. It'll do for now, no more money

It looks real good, the overkill on the fasteners was a good idea with the TA hood since there is more chance of wind getting under it...
BTW, I have never been to Atco, is it a decent track? How would it compare to Cecil County or Maple Grove?
