I think it's just going to make a lot of people spin their ***'s off like usual and no one will be hooking up...so my obivous choice is no.

If it's anything like last night then it will be as slick as ice. However there is a Summit series bracket race on Saturday so if they prep for all the guys testing for that it might be decent.

There will be alot of racecars out there practicing for the first points race of the year thats on Sat. The track was prepped well for Wed night like always but if there is only a few slick tire cars the track never gets any grip.

Anyone see the article in the Orlando Sentinel about the track being closed at the end of the year? A guy I work with saw it and told me about it. No I'm not talking about the end of year break they take I'm meaning it forever...Here's the article I don't see where it specifically says it's going to be closed but there is a end coming to our local tracks and it is going to happen sooner than later.

Yeah...it doesn't say anything about OSW closing. It talks about the owners possibly selling it, but that's it.

Back on topic, I ran a new best tonight too, and I didn't hook for **** all night. Times in sig.

TitanWS6, I saw your car there tonight, looks good man!

Ran a 13.0@107 on street tires, with just an air lid and gutted cats. I dead hooked all 3 times in the right lane.
