Question no atco. how is cecil?

atco doesnt have a TT till november 12!

i went one time to Cecil with the ESP guys, track seemed pretty good, but it was a pro mod event.
any idea how the track is on a saturday TT?

i think i may shoot for the TT on the 22 of this month.

Cecil County has a real good rep, Brad, but I have no idea how liberal they are w/the VHT on a test 'n tune day. Pretty sure that's one of the oldest sanctioned dragstrips in the country. WJ

The track prep isnt bad. Cecil is a funny little place and seems so rural yet its 30 mins from Philly and Baltimore. I went to TT on a sat in May and i ran quicker than i did at atco FWIW.

everyone allways says how you allways run faster at cecil than any other track in this area...i didnt beleive it untill a friend of mine in a auto vette on nittos best e.t. at atco was 11.53@122.2 w/ 1.85 60'...3 differant runs were all within .03 of eachother..mph was unchanged. on a similer day weatherwise at cecil about 2 weeks ago ran a new best of 11.23@122.1 w/1.76 60'...backed it up with a 11.21@122.0 w/1.74 60'. i couldnt beleive it....he made no changes to the car and the temp was around the same both nights with low humidity. awsome track.

I haven't been to Island in about 3 years, but I'm probably going Sunday. I'll let you know how it is. I'm hoping 2 tenths faster than LVD at least!
