Default Going to the Grove

I'm taking the car to Union Grove this week either Thursday or Friday night. Anyone else planning a trip out this week?

I'm pushing the others guys going with me to go Friday instead of Thursday but I haven't gotten a confirmation from anyone yet so we'll see what happens. I wouldn't be there for the ARS most likely even though that's the best route to go.

What's the deal with the RSD? Anything special?

Hopefully I see ya there.

I'm hoping to go this week. Ole Pregosauris just needs some convincing. If not then spring ill be back out racing. Ill be there Saturday with my boy watching KOTS. Thursdays is good track prep since its slicks and bike night. Last time I was there on a Thursday I think I got in 11 passes and should have gotton lap times.

I ended up going last Thursday and turned a 10.67. Could have made a lot of passes if I wanted to. Track prep was awesome.

I went last Wednesday night and it was in the lower 50s and the track had no grip. I decided if I go anymore in the fall to go on the weekend, the air will be cool and the sun will still heat the track up some.

I was impressed with them went I went in late September. I made about 5 passes and was never talked to

Track prep was good until it went from 58 to 48 in the matter of 30 mins. Started spinning when it got colder.
