^^hahaha Very true. I have not ran in a while so depending on how well I do on the first run in lanes 3,4,5.... depends on if I switch to the faster lanes. I actually don't feel fast enough and feel like I would be looked at funny if I went in that lane and didn't cut a low 12 time.
Raging wolf,, We would wait for you at the Steak n' Shake or at the track until you got off.

Steve if you head out let me know. I'm down for a night at the track. I forgot what it's like, been working on the car too damn long.

I always feel like I'm not fast enough to be staging in lanes 1 and 2. At what ET would you expect a car to start using those lanes?

I believe it is 13.99 and faster, my GTO usually runs mid to low 12s and I win alot of races in lanes 1 +2.

Thanks Jam for waiting up for me, that way we can all cruise out together to Steak and Shake and grab something to eat.

Yea, if you run 13.99 or quicker, lanes 1 and 2 is where you should be. Another reasons why lanes 3,4,5 and 6 don't get good traction is because the idiots like to drag the waterbox water up to the starting line because they don't know that if you don't need the waterbox..don't go in to it

SO true. You always know who is new. They run through the water box and just line up, and they usually don't know how to stage either. I remember my first time running. I watched it enough before hand so I didn't look like an idiot.

Well so far it looks like it's
Ragingwolf51, Leftme4dead, and me going to Steak N' Shake. Anyone else want to cruise with us up there to eat?

OK..... Are you going to the track or just to Steak N' Shake?^^
We are going to meet at the Steak N' Shake over by Alafaya and 50.
I am guessing around 11:00 pm we will be leaving the Track, it's going to be a late night.
