Can be a hit or miss. This being the last TNT until the end of March I'd say it could be packed. The last one on Feb 5th was packed by 1 pm, but if you get there early you can get in 3-5 runs within the first few hours unless there is a lot of breakage.

helmet just showed up, going to try to delete my air pump and 5 mph bumpers for a little weight reduction today, and I will have to go out again and get a battery tie down, knew I forgot something while I was out! Going to clean the K&N, MAF, and TB while I'm poking around.

Edit: I'm a idiot, the stock tab deal is there, I take it that qualifies as a hold down??

The warmer weather may help keep numbers down too. The only thing is there wasn't one last week, and the first two were rained out. So there should be a lot of people wanting to hit the last saturday T&T for awhile, like me. We shall see though.

Bumper delete is not a very smart move on a street car.

I've never had a problem teching in with just the stock tab. Nothing is ever over the top of the battery and they've never had a problem. Doesn't mean it's a sure fire thing though.

Alright, I'm not going to make it. I almost knocked myself out when I borrowed my stepdads POS Thunderbird. I went out to get some cutting discs as the AIR line didn't want to come out and I smashed my head on the door frame when I had the windows down. I've never done that in a vehicle, I'm blaming it on the fact that its a FORD. Anycase, no helmet for me tommarow, if anyone has any goals, good luck in meeting them! I was hoping for mid 13's consistently, now I'm just hoping I don't wake up with a splitting headache.

Because even a slight tap in the parking lot will cause alot of damage compared to nothing or a slight scrape in the paint if you had them in. good luck getting insurance to cover a claim if you are in an accident and don't have them on your car. A relatively low speed impact could also cause frame damage totaling out the car.
