Default NED was a bust!

I got only 2 runs in with the wife in hand (she likes going down the track) & then the sky opened up just before 7PM & it poured & poured & poured...

My pal came up from New London CT, 3 hrs one way, teched in, then before he was able to move out of the tech lane, the rain came, in torrents.

He was a bit pissed to say the least.

So I didn't get my 12 sec slip tonight.

Next time.


I hope NED gives a "rain" check on this.

I was thinking the best runs are in the beggining of the night before the track gets washed down by the ricers If the wife goes wait till the last run,not the first

You need to be slow to have someone ride along after the first run. No passengers @ NED faster than 14.00

My pal was in his turbo diesel Dodge Ram.
He's got an 11 sec 87 Shelby CSX so he wanted to have some fun with his tow vehicle.

I take the wife the 1st couple of runs only because I think they actually monitor the 13.99 & quicker cars so if I blast off some quick runs then try to take her later I fear they may not let me run.
