Track was **** today. Sigh. I really don't think they prepped it - I showed up 12:15ish and they open at 12 and I saw nothing. They did drag it once toward the end but it didn't help. From what I saw only big tire cars were hooking - I was 2mph off and spinning my *** off as was a friend. Managed two 12.2x but that's it. Going to an 1/8th track this coming weekend (either Friday night or Saturday will determine the track).

Which 1/8 track, Guitar? Dunn Benson? I wonder if the upgrades were complete yet. I was sort of partial to the 1960's look since that was the last time that anything was done there..LOL

Probably Roxboro Friday. They just redid the track and apparently it's nice. When Benson gets finished I'll be going out there, heated and cooled wide *** concrete track ftw. If only they made it 1/4...

Like I said you didn't want to agree to corrected DA times (to make it fair) but I didn't feel like arguing and agreed to your terms. If I go I'll post up my times. Rain precipitation is now at 70% but its scattered. Going to call the track right before I head out.

I think its fair. Corrected times are gaaaaayyy anyways. Your modded alot more and probably have me covered its all in good fun! Its no grudge race. I like you. And if you get lucky my car won't be done in time and im a man of my word

And to be honest, by the time I run Mark, my DA is not gonna be good and corrected times would probably give me an advantage and I don't want to win that way

I got rained out on my way there. Half way into a 70 min trip I called the track to ask if they have called it a night and they said turn around. Its pouring here. Oh well. I'll try next Thursday.

My electric fan isn't turning on, I think it burned up. Checked/jumped relays and still couldn't get it to turn on. Gunna pull it and order another one. Hopefully it gets here soon.

Mine currently sits in the yard with no motor or a trans... No trips to the track still for a few months.
