i was only there for about 30 min. there were so few cars there I had no choice but to hot lap lol. Made back to back to back to back 12.0's @115. Couldn't crack 11's, didn't feel like letting the car sit. 1.75 60's on pilot super sports in a 4500lb car, can't complain That place has become extremely disorganized, I must say.

I was there last night as well, everything was very slow. Basically my night was sitting in the stands for 2 hours with a small break to go see what was sitting in the line up.
