Default Street Drags in Assumption ILL. who's going???

Hey guys from the central Illinois area. I found out that there will be drag racing going on in Assumption, IL. There is another thread about this but no one really said if they were attending or not. I am getting back from overseas in the military around mid April, and have been waiting a long time to make some "legal" runs. It would be badass to meet some other LS1Tech members, and have more than just me there with my WS6.

Here is some info on the races:

May 3, 2008

Gates will open at 7 AM. Racing will start around 10AM and last until dusk.

For more info check out the link: http://www.ncperformanceinc.com/races.htm

No alcohol, no gambling, and 1/8 mile racing? Plus $20 to get in? I'll stick to SCC. I can drink, fight, and gamble there.

I know brother, that sucks. The only other track near me is Charleston(Coles County), and its also 1/8th. I plan on driving the 2 hours up to Joliet, but there will probably be 500 cars there, and i will only get 2 runs in all night. We could always hit up a bar afterwards

I'll be there with a couple people. Should be a good time and I'm all about supporting local tracks. Especially since this track is trying to get back on it's feet.

I will definitely try to make it. Anything I can do to help another track get on it's feet is definitely worth it. It may only be 1/8th mi., but from what I understand there's a possibility for to be a 1/4 mi track in the future if they get enough interest.

the best day to go to Rt 66 is when it is cloudy and there is a 50% chance of rain. I go on those days and get at least 10 runs in. I usually stop around 7pm and start drinking. And we have some great bars up here...

You are really close man. I live in St. Joseph, near Champaign and its only about a hour and half drive. But from Charleston its pretty much directly west about 40 miles. I have already looked up the schedule for Coles County drag strip, and plan on going......every weekend. How is that track? Can you get a good amount of runs in on the test & tune?

Its Black......Hints the name. Yea it ran a 12.51 on street tires, and at 4500 elevation. I have some 275/50/15 M/T DR's in the mail. Hopefully she can do better than that. We can definitely run a grudge match if you come down. As long as if I loose you give me a few pointers

Yeah shows how much I pay attention some times huh? Not really a grudge match.. Just I think it would be a good run. As for pointers? Eh. Probably not the right person for that. I'm not really a track person. This car was built to kill 90% of the rice that floats around the NW burbs.

not sure about the track. Haven't been down it since I have moved back. They do an Army eliminator series that is kinda like PINKS I guess that I am going to try to get in on sometime. when I ran there back in high school it was decent. a lot of slow junk though. Come on out sometime. if my junk is going we could clip some ricers all night. lol

For sure thing brother. I will probably post up when I go scoop it out, and find a night for all of us to meet up for a test & tune, or street legal drags. I know its only 1/8....but right now i am TOTALLY redoing the rear suspension, and front. So i need some of the line practice. And yes no mercy for the foreign cars

Default Drags Canceled

I JUST LOOKED UP THE WEBSITE FOR ASSUMPTION DRAGS, AND IT SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN CANCELED DUE TO LACK OF PREPERATION. I was pretty pissed, but o well. We still have Coles County.
