I'm sure there is... it's right there by the Monroe Fairgrounds and I'm sure there will be some for the Speedway since it's more then just a drag strip.

Alright, I've got my time with them at 4 so that'd be about right for when you show if you leave around then.

The best way I can explain how to get to the track is: Heading east on Hwy 2 before you get in to town the fairgrounds are on your left, do not take the left in to the fairgrounds, go to the next road and turn left, there will be a sign that is only 2 ft. high that will say DRAGS and it will be RED, it's not very easy to see because it's so low to the ground, unless they made a new one.

You never know about the weather around here, I hope it clears for us to race. I have to take the night off work to go out there so I have to make a decision by 1:00 in the afternoon. If the clouds are broken up and not raining, I'm going. If it's totally overcast I will probably go to work

I've only driven the T/A once in the last 3 weeks and I can't take it anymore, I want to run the car with the new suspension parts Shaun installed to see how it runs. I'm going to pray tonight for clear skies.

From KIRO this morning:

Rainy and windy in the morning changing to showers and breezy by afternoon. Highs near 50. Scaterred showers tonight. Small craft advisory on Puget Sound.

All of the weather places must be using the same computer. They ALL say the exact same thing.

Looking at the radar, it appears the front is clearing the Everett area right now, so it should start to settle down. Maybe we'll get lucky. But we all know how the weather around here can be!

And if today takes a dump on us, looks like on April 9th I'll be @ Bremerton.

I'm about to roll here in a few... got a date with the DYNO.

I've got my digital camera that'll take some videos... but not near the quality as if there was an actual video camera there.

Any advice would be helpfull.
Well Back to the original question I know of at least three 1/4 mile tracks in the Virginia Area. I have never been to anything but a 1/4 track when I was there. When I talk to the boys I will let them know you are coming. But here is the site so that you can register there and get to see some of the events, they have like 6 events this year that are big time, and they go out all the time to just have FUN! www.easternfbody.com I just came from there as I told you already and I am sure you will love it out there even though we are going to miss you! So I would not go changing gears or seting up for a 1/8 mile just yet!
