Default PIR March 3rd....

Who's planning on attending the Test and Tune at Portland International Raceway on the evening of March 3rd? This will be my 1st real 1/4 mile run since she was near stock.

Woodburn eh? I think that track may work out much better for me. It's just as far as PIR, but they have much better test and tune times for my work schedule.

Thanks for mentioning that!

I'm gearing up for one of them. Portland is of course closer, but I hear woodburn is a better track. Just need to buy a helmet and I'm ready. I think.

I doubt you will get a lot of runs in here at the beginning of the season at either place. Because these are open test n tunes. Which mean the regular racers are also going to be there. You guys generally went to Woody on street nights. PIR probably isn't going to happen this weekend. Weather shows 50% chance rain. They don't open unless it is less than 40% chance. Weather permitting, PIR will be open Friday 10th, and Woody open Sat 11th and Sun 12th.

DUDE SERIOUSLY YOU ARE SINGLE YOU HAVE A GOOD JOB BUY AN F#@#@ HELMET!!!!

I might be up for Woodburn if I can get the converter installed by then, don't think I'll be able to run nitrous until I get a roll cage? Did the limit drop for verts too. Shoot the verter might put me in the low to mid 13's.

As much as I would like to be there for test and tune. I doubt the weather will permit it. I think skiing for me is going to be the better choice

eh, i have nothing against them.
it's just very uncomfortable in the car (the ceiling is way too low to leave your seat in the usual natural position)

and that one i borrowed last season.. i swear it was meant for an 8 year old.

Think about it this way... the faster you get your car to go, the faster you get to take that helmet off.
