I like to go over on Wensday nights. Havn't been over yet this year though, I just got the car back togethor. I might go over next Wen. Don't be scared, atleast half of the people there are inexperianced. Plus most of the crowd is rice. Try and stick to the right lane. They have reserved TNT on Wen afternoons and they do a kick *** job preping the right lane, it usually stays half decent for acouple of hours. The left lane gets no prep and it sucks.

If you want to get some seat time without the hassle of street night call up a week ahead and tell them you want to sign up for the Wensday test and tune. It's a $100 with a max of 30 cars, unlimited runs from 12 to about 5 pm. You'll need drag radials or slicks to run in the preped lane though.

Yeah, they are repaving the track. They ran out of time this past spring so they broke it up into two stages. Like said above 90% of the imports are nothing great. There are a few DSMs running low 11s and high 10s. If your running 12s that's pretty quick on most nights.
