I would, but there's no way I'd be making more tehn one pass without the roll bar in the car yet.
Once it's hooking and leaving right, she will get a full blast, I just want to make it count.

im goin.. hopefully will have 2 new rear tires by then... and maybe i can get my 12.9.. w/out breaking something! im definately psyched.. the only time i have been up with the track properly prepared.. it got rained out.. and street night tends to suck
I have faith that the car will be working by the end of the day, and it's only gonna take one full pass to see the # that I want out of the car, I am sure of it. Between Ken and Rich, I am sure that they will have the car sorted out before the end of the day well enough to get it to where I want to see the car. Plus, I am not gonna toss some crap bar setup in the car now, I've done everything else right, I'm not about to hack that part of it, it will get done over the winter the right.
I don't really care if all I do is run to the 330 mark for most of the day, as long as the track is decent enough to get the car working it will be fine.. the one full run I will make with it will be enough to put a smile on my face. It will be nice just to work things out with it, and see a bunch of other cars anyway. Besides, the guys offered to trailer the car up for me, I'm not about to say no. I'll be putting a hitch on my truck over the winter, but until I do that I'm not trailering it anywhere myself. I could drive it, but it's not worth it at this point.

To the guys that are worried about breaking your car... if you can't afford to fix it, then I'd seriously advise against racing it...... especially if you need it for daily transportation. Don't let people talk you into things that you know you shouldn't be doing, or talk you out of things you should be doing.

Forget T+T. You want to do the bracket setup because you are garrentied 3 runs atleast.
T&T that is.
