I'm sure the truck would be fun in the curves!

Joe, it's a Saturday afternoon/night TNT, so the air will likely support great #s. Bring a bottle warmer!

What time does test and tune start at? I'm guessing just get there when the gates open. How crowded is it normally with the racing and tnt going on at the same time?

If I had front tires I'de be running in that auto-x. 275 KDW's up front and 315 555r's out back won't make for a very ballanced car.

TNT on 1/8-mile bracket night can be a packed house, and I'm tomorrow night will be no exception.
#1 - First 1/8-mile points race of the year.
#2 - Only 4th race since the 6 week layoff between Feb and end of March.
#3 - Air will be mighty good!

The good thing is with all the slick-tired cars, traction should not be a problem (compared to normal TNT nights with ricers dragging water everywhere).

I'll be there tomorrow (at the drag strip) with a blue 9 second Nova.

It was packed, after they said they were running 2 rounds before TnT again I just left, so I only got 2 runs in.
