If you have a problem making it home I will be able to help. I just hope to have a good enough turn out to cover the track and make some decent payouts.


Nice time in your sig. Knocking the on door to the 10's.

It would be nice seeing your car in person. I should have made the trip even though my car wasn't ready.

I'd like to go, but the race weights are way too high for me to even consider racing in. It would be nice if they had a more in depth race weight break system. Such as stock bottom end -150lbs, etc...

I'll probably end up going. I'll have my LT's, true duals, DR's, LCA's+PHB, and a tune all done before. So, the car will be ready to go. I'll have to make sure I make a few trips to Test N Tune up at Cordova first, since I've never made a pass at a track, so I can get used to it.

A high 10 should be as easy as a jet change abd an adjustment to the 685 box. That's the plan for this year after the bar and harness goes in. Should be in the next couple of weeks.

I still haven't got my gears yet. Too many other things going on purchase wise at the moment. I may need to borrow someones 26" slicks to kick out the 12's.
