Responded in the other thread too look for a three color Caprice(blew the paint budget on speed parts) or if the unthinkable happens a roadmaster wagon either way I am easy to spot.

I'm still not sure if I'm going to make it. If I don't have my car, I'd at least like to go watch. It's been awhile since I've been out there

I made it, the crowd was almost enough to make me stop going, the staging line wrapped pack parallel to the lanes at times. I want them to attract enough of a crowd to make a buck but not a crowd like that. They let friggin anyone park in the pits too and my tires and such got parked in by just random trucks not pulling or supplying anything. On a slow night fine let them in but when busy the pits needs to be for car cars and support vehicles ONLY.
There was a Vrown Vic and a Grand Marquis, my friend with the grey Caprice and I were trying to get them to race us but they wouldn't bite, guess they didn't like it whan I said I needed to figure out how many lengths 2.5 seconds is so they could at least have a shot at me. Yeah the Vics are that slow damn 4.6L, beat one by over a second in May with my wagon.

Yeah they did do test and tune as well. They did a new thing they called "hat racing" where you paid money then names were put in a hat and you ran whomever was paired against you could be a racecar could be anything, they did an extremely poor job of explaining the way it worked as from wha they said you could only win back the entry fee but the way it actually worked was winner got his own money plus the other cars. If they had clearly explained the way it worked I am SURE it would have filled up quickly.
