How is that track this year? IS it hooking and is it busy? Everytime I go it is either very busy or dead. Never seems to be a very fast track. Seems like I run 2-3 tenths slower there. But it seems to be the only IHRA track in the area with T&T durring the week.

They have done a great job with capital improvements, track and pits look great. They were even replacing the grandstands section by section.

I haven't been out to the grove yet this year, I was waiting for the higher prices and track prep. I'll try and get out sat or next week. The track is great for the Summit Series and Slicks only Thursday night.

I was just there this last sunday, first time in over a year. I need to make the effort to get out there more often this year. Nothing but my job seems to be standing in my way....

baddog. I would think you would be fine with just the DSL.

LILWS6. Get a DSL. Just in case. Lakewood as them for like $50 or used ones on here are cheap too. I paid 40 for my Granatelli unit. Or was it an LG unit? Not sure.

I need to break my **** in before I head out. Most boring 500 miles of the 30k on the car.

I doubt I'll pass tech on a regular T&T, maybe RSD I would.
