Yeah, their Friday night prepping sucks cause they let anything with an engine run down the track, but if you go on Saturdays or Sundays they prep it up nice. I was getting 1.5-1.6's on 245 nittos.

I had heard they laid down new concrete on the starting line before the start of last year. Not sure on that, but it worked out nice for me.

I called him when I was looking around to get my gears done. He was reasonably priced too. Would have went with him if he could have tuned it.

Paul you get your trans and tuning sorted out yet? You gotta get some sticky tires for this year for sure!

No. its actually stalling worse than it was before, I think I'm just gonna take it that Purple Hays place and see if he can figure anything out. And I think I need a new converter

Transmission work seems to be the work of this month. We're putting my new one in tomorrow.

Anyone know when I-57 drag opens?

What's up Paul. I just ordered a stall for my car this week. Got one from Speed Inc for 525. They've got some cheap ones on there that you might want to check out if your gonna need a new one. Hope we're still up for the Power Tour this year. See ya in June.

Where you work at? Luckily the bar I work at up here is closed, but I used to have to work Easter when I was living down there?
