Man I dont know when the next time Ill get to go is. I havent touched my car, I have my silverado tore apart fixing the boxside on it and I need to do head gaskets on it, I have my monte ss apart painting a front cover for it and my Dad just bought a Solstice that needs a cover and some other misc things that I have to get done. Its been crazy but Im going to try and get out its just tough at the moment.

Im having a cell built for the dedicated fuel system for my nitrous system, as soon as its done and Ive relocated my battery I plan on bring it down to test the hundred shot. I realized my controller is out of date and doesnt have a progressive on it so that may cause an issue for traction.

I had the best times yet at 10.60 @ 129.9 and it was spinning - I ended up winning the sucker even though i didn't have near the fastest street car there
He ran a 10.48@128 the car was picking up every run till it broke!

as far as i know, they are going to take the 4 fastest MPH slips not ET and then they will run the 4 off at the end for $100 - The same race setup as Cordova does and its a blast!
CFR does something very similar as well.

If the rain stays away I hope we can have some fast stuff show up. Imports or domestics

If they go by mph instead of et the turbo cars will have the advantage for sure.

I have a set of 4 speedlines w/tires off a 2002 TA. Don't want to break them up but would sell them for a decent price. Tires have about 7000-8000 miles.

Anyone alive on here?

We went to NMCA/NMRA races, had a good time & tons of fast cars.

Anyone going to Cordova's Midnight races this Friday night? We are planning on competing in the "Fastest dom vs. import" as usual but i have a feeling there are going to be some faaaast stuff show up so the outcome at the end of the night probably won't be the same this time lol

Who's all going to Goodguys?
