Cool Anyone heading to Union Grove Sunday, or wants to??

.

Wanted to go test some stuff tomorrow, and have room if anyone wants to go.
My helpers bailed on me because of the US 41 drama.
Will be back after work to check.

I wanted to test the red car.

I would BUT, my son and I are heading all the way to Cordova with his Camaro to a track rental with midwest f body association.Tring to get a 9.99 out of it,im not sure the air is going to be good enough,(cold) but were gonna give it a try. Good luck at GLD. I would be a little concerned on prep there on sunday. They are running a KOTS event there today from 2-10 pm and they are scraping all the rubber down to concrete for at least 60 ft.KOTS is a no prep street race,NO VHT,so by sunday morning there might not be a lot of rubber down. Just a heads up !!

Thanks, they are having an index event tomorrow, so I was "hoping" they prep the track for that??

Good luck, and pull all the weight out and cheat a little.
Nobody asks how you got to 9.999999999999, they just want to see the ticket!!

Oh yea, no donuts on the way either!!

Race safe.

Thanks and if it was an issue of prep, maybe I would change my plans.
The issue is no help at the last minute.
We've been planing this for 3 weeks and now they cancel.
I invited several customers and their families, and now I look bad!!
It takes 2-3 guys to run this junk, or I would head over there by myself,
but you can't even get it out of the trailer alone.

If you're mad because I'm part of the racers that are trying to save US 41, then say so 3 weeks ago.

Race safe everyone, and thanks for the invitation, I appreciate it!!

glad you enjoyed it, they really had it hooking no doubt. Hope to see you both at an event in the future next season. We also had a few big tire cars getting down as well, FLYING!
