Default OSW Fri 3/23

Myself and JAMcreations, along with another friend of mine(has an impreza), will be going out to OSW next fri. Anyone care to join us? My car is going to have a custom shroud fabbed up wed/thurs and should be ready by fri. It would be great to have a bunch of us go out there.

^^That question can be yes and no. I myself like it and usually have fun no matter what. I enjoy watching and racing but I am going to guess that the track might be a little more up to par since they just had the pros running on it before the Gator Nationals last weekend. I can almost guarrentee that it will have a lot of people there cause of Spring Break. Oh Yeah, I will be out there just like Leftme4dead said.

If I get my pile put back together, I just might show up. I'm anxious to see how much I picked up with my header and torque converter install.

miamifan3413, It does get very crowded on T&T nights. There are a ton of front wheel drive cars and once the action starts, track prep is non existant.

It just depends. I've had it both ways. I wouldnt however say it is a bad track or anything. I havent been to Gainseville or Bradenton to compare. Except for a few times, I dont really have any complaints.

I want to get there a little bit before 6. I dont know if I car will be done by then. I'll be there regardless. If we can form a group we can meet up before somewhere, or just meet up at the track. If any of you go, just look for the primer colored Chevelle.

I personally work at OSW, and we prep our track to the fullest extent that we can. We don't prep any better or any worse than any other track in the country. We abide by all the rules. If 700+HP vehicles can hook up with no problem and lift the front wheels off the ground, and people are breaking rear ends off the line, then traction is not the problem.......the driver is. Get some radials, and if you can't afford them, learn how to launch your car.

2 cents into the jar

Jerry(JAMcreations) had the idea to meet up afterwards and cruise to the S n S right down the road. If anyone is going, and wants to do this, let it be known so we can all set a place and time after we run, and cruise on over to SnS.

I don't get off of work until all of you leave, and then I have to tear the infrareds down and put everything away. I should be about 30 minutes behind the rest of you.
