Well, someone else who plans ahead for racedays! I like to see that. With three days of racing possible for this coming weekend, one of the days should smile on us, weather-wise. I have been thinking-over the same track issues, Mark. I even posted a similar comment on the Mustang site. I am considering the possibility of bracket racing this year too. Have you ever considered that possibility?
I will definitely be at Bremerton one day this weekend. It is basically test and tune Friday and Saturday with the King of the Track a leftover day from last season in which the winners of the various categories race each other. One could test and tune on Sunday too. Bremerton is great about letting people do that. So any day will work.

I plan on going this weekend or the 22nd (Weather).
The Camaro is about ready just a few minor adjustments. I did'nt have time to touch my Vette this winter but it still runs ok. If anyone up north is going let me know and we can follow you down to Bremerton.

What class would you be able to run in Don? ET Brackets? I had thought about going just to test the waters in the 10.90 Super Street class, even tho I understand most of those cars run electronics, so I'd go out early. But it would be fun to try......once!

Yes Don Wally's look good by the fire place. It will cost you $125 big ones to get in and race there are cheaper Wally races later this season.
Mark
Run Pro class that will teach you all you need to know. The 10.90 class uses a .4 pro tree that will screw you up in the other classes. I ran the real street class last year and had to deep stage to get a .11 light. My car just does not react fast enough to keep up with the class. I plan on going this Saturday Jackie's son wants to race his RX7 do you think I might be influancing him!

That's why you see racers just flickering the bottom bulb - to make sure that they know where they are.
Who does that ?
I have found over the years that to be the best you have to race the best! Step up Mark! the first year is the hardest as you teach your self to play. after half a season you will start to come around and when you do the other racers in your class will step up and help you to
