Pacific on Friday night? I think I'm gonna hit the track on Friday and take advantage of the forecast for sunny skies, and cool temps at night, and try to get as many 12's out of the Formula as possible...
Anyone else up to coming down?

I figured I would go Friday because the weather is supposed to be a little cooler and they're forecasting some cloud cover.... Only thing on their schedule for that night is T&T and Jr Dragsters.
I need to get my Formula's launch down again, and figure out if it's running consistently now.. so I'm not real concerned about running a bracket. Would be fun, but I know I'd probably lose.

There's a national/regional at bremerton all weekend. Chris' car broke last weekend at pacific or I'd be at BTown all weekend with them doing triple duty. He's bitchin about his backup motor not having enough power. Only 850-900hp instead of the 1150hp he had. "My cars too slow now" Cry me a friggin river. 
I told him I'll drive it and it wont be slow to me. He wasn't buying into it.
He said screw it. Gonna bush the lifter bores and go with new lifters and make it a 622ci instead of the 565ci he had. Shooting for 1300hp on that combo. The heads could still be ported for another 80 or so. The new lifters are 2K bucks. Yikes! No idea yet about how much the new crank, rods and pistons will be. I'll stick with my mostly stock stuff, thank you very much.
Oh yeah, I saw Kurtis Tamez' Mustang go 7.19 last Friday at Pacific. Didn't get a chance to stop in and talk to him though.

What time do things start?
