The track seemed good early but later on the dew sets in and + all the rice the track usually gets slick at the end of the night, BMP is the same way on TnT nights.

I was the girl running the black SS last night...
It was my first time ever down a track!
I couldnt hook for the life of me, but I still ran a 13.7,
and that was missing 4th too... Oooops!
I figure for my first time out ever, thats not too bad.
I think I might head to Gainesville to see if the surface is more forgiving
if my inexperience.
I can launch on the street, but couldnt figure it out at the track...
I might go out tomorrow, for Funday Sunday, just for more practice.

When you run at OSW you need to run in lanes 1+2 with the slick tire and dragradial cars, you can run those lanes if your faster then 13.99 and the traction is much better and the lines are shorter. By my experience Gainsville on TnT nights does not have great traction , Bradenton is the best track for track prep in FL = best ET results at BMP.

Here is the webiste I was telling you about, where I got all my decals made...
http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/vinyl/vinyl.htm
The guy that runs it is super nice, really fast, and he will put together anything you want...
Nice meeting you too!

Caveman -- Thanks for the info. Im really new, especially to OSW... so I had no idea I could run in the Pro lanes, 1+2. I will have to take a ride down to Bradenton one of these days as well...

Nope. She was in one of the black 04 Cobras. I think I did race Kiera (Black SS) my first run though.

I think you have to run 12.99 or faster to run 1&2, or have they changes it, I perfer 1&2 because I don't like running in the water not fun.

Thank you I really liked your car as well. I ended up running a 12.8 @ 112 mph. Yours will definitely get there, just a matter of playing around with it some

it is 13.99 and quicker for lanes 1 & 2. when you do go in those lanes, they will require a helmet as a minimum.
