Thumbs up BIR Tonight!

Hey guys,
Just thought I would see if anyone else is planning on heading to BIR tonight for the $20 street drags. The weather took a turn for the better today so I am finally going to try my car out in the 1/4 mile! Maybe I will see some of you guys up there.

Best I did was a 13.8 @ 103.6 with a horrible 2.317 60' but it was the first time I raced at a 1/4 mile track so I was happy. All 7 of my runs were 13.8 @ 103-104 with consistant 2.3-2.4 60'

It was still fun tho, and a nice variety of cars to watch.
