Default T&T at Rt. 66 Friday?
I might be taking my car to 66 on Friday for some t&t. Just got the tune finished up, alittle weight out of the front, and torque arm in so I wanna see what this **** box will do. Anyone up for it?

@ 66 the track prep is awesome! The only problem is if you are a guy running anything but a top fuel NHRA car you will have about 30-60 minutes in the staging lanes between runs... also RT 66 is very strict on Tech inspections.

Andy if you run the pro tree lane and slick lane you'll be fine, I'd say 5 runs.

I'll second that. Stay away from the street cars and you'll get some good runs in.

66 is a great track but it does get crowded! Inspection is tougher than most around here but Ive never had a problem. Go and see what you can do!

Andy Pinks made it that way, they figured with no prep no one would hook and brake and less downtime.

That sucks because I was trying to run a number. A couple guys that go there often said they've never seen the track that loose?

The track works very well. Do you plan on going? I checked the weather and they are calling for rain and 89* Friday. If it doesn't rain and the weather cools a bit, i'll be there.
