Is anyone planning on going to GLD for free racing? I am planning on going possible on 4/4 but it will probably be on 4/11. Still debating on bring the TBSS or the Camaro. Let me know if anyone wants to meetup.

I went there on saturday and ran my vert. First time I have ever taken a car to the track. I had a blast.



Best I ran was a 12.6 at 115. I couldn't hook even with some good burnouts. Took me a couple runs to get that down. Tried all different launch points to no avail. However, I realized I forgot to let air out of the rears and was at 35psi the whole time....Next time I will remember to change that

Yeah a couple buddy's and myself were there Sunday until about 1 and there was no one there! We could have kept running over and over again. The best I ran in my TBSS was 14.2.

Nice car.

I haven't gotten out yet this year, what a fail. Have to travel all next week too. The week after I'm hitting the track in the 5th gen. hoping for low 11's on motor.
