june 23rd man...i'm sure everyone will have plenty time to run since its EFA vs. MACA and the last event wasnt very big, maybe 50 cars, which is double what it used to be for just EFA...

hopefully we can get the turnout good enough to not have to always take the shitty track hours with the so-so track prep...

when you get your tune you shouldnt have a problem breaking 12's. like you said before though, the weather wasnt the best the last time you went.... everyone was about .1 or .2 slower then usual. if you dead hooked last time on your regular tires then you wouldnt gain anything from the radials.... already had great traction before. your longtubes arent tuned and are most likely making the car run rich as **** without a tune, so once its tuned, it will be a different story. when is the guy gonna tune it for you. shawn at Va Speed just got HP Tuners for the shop so he could do if for you for a great price!

stall it and run 12s. i'm kinda in the mood for a 4000 stall now. i guess stalls are just one of those things where people tell you that you'll want to go higher, and at first its cool, but almost a year with a 3400 stall and i'm bored again...
