Hardcore Spring Open
We are out!! Called the track today and they said the weather was not good. Rainy and not much racing! Also pretty cold so the few cars I guess they got down the track didn't do much. To risky for us to drive all the way down just to have it rain.

Sucks I was all fired up to do some racing, but there will be other times.
Can't wait until the weather improves and the local tracks open. A 10hr ride to go testing is getting old, but hey its for the love of the game.

there was a ls1 formula with a lt1 in it runnin some high 10's on motor
mightymouse came...
and a stock ls1 SS
and hardcore's two cars the black car(t-top car) on friday came out launched and it spun... they then tried the convert with ronnie... and well he staged the car with the back tires twice then i guess gave up on trying to stage it after they backed him up again and he just gave it a running start... first time seeing one of those at the strip... then they tried the t-top car again and it sounded like it was having some problems as it was sputtering down the track pretty bad
today the black car was in the trailor and the convert i saw attempted one pass... but no hook.

it snowed for about 30 seconds. In talking with a worker at VMP, she said that something was wrong with the tree and that was why the car was being staged with the rear tires, for whatever reasons I dont know.
I really wish I could have met the rest of you guys there.
Just wanted to thank Gary and Hardcore for their hospitality. They put alot of effort into having a great day and I had a great time.

...there were some top fuel cars there getting licenced...
and I believe one car i cant remeber was pullin .8 true 60fts cant remember what kind though.
believe their lack of traction today was due to not heating up their tires good their burnout was not much of one at all if u could call it one. atleast compared to how jason did his in the black car n all the other cars... but i could be all wrong.
their cars are strong and once they got everythign worked out on the blue car you should see some nice numbers from it. btw it is a pretty *** car.
asfar as the tree not working right.. sounds like some BS they told you. were you watching? it wont but like 6 - 10 ppl there watching other then the staff and hardcore crew....
