Mike, Do you want that 9 or not ?????
Get your butt down there! Don't worry about the temp. The downhill track and the horsepower conditions Saturday (take a look at the barometer forecast!) will MORE than make up for WHATEVER spin you get off the line.
I've proven it year after year; spinning there versus my best solid hook runs at other tracks still net me .15 or more in ET. And I've never run there with the air pressure forecasted for Saturday.

If I have time maybe I'll swing down with the wife.......I don't know anyone but it would give me a chance to meet some people and see a few hot LT cars. Lord knows I will need direction on mine soon!

Good luck to everyone! This is the worst time of the year for me to get anything car related done. 65+ hour works weeks suck. The only thing i've done in the past month is finally buy a damn trailer. Tony come on over and you can borrow it, lol.

Does anyone want to put together a list of all the people showing up?
Talked to the wife and it looks like we might come down for a few hours. I don't really know any of you, but I figure it's worth meeting new people and getting some ideas for my own car.
Well probably bring my white IROC and just spectate.

Cecil is a good track. The prep will be good for a test and tune and I have no doubt you'll be in the 9's by the end of the day.
