True and that's cool. For me racing is more important, and I get much more out of it. Now if the Hawks were playing, it would be a different story.

As for the beer, there is allways time for that.

Got one (or 3) but the Superbowl is the only game I like to watch live.
The 16 regular season games and the playoffs I will happily watch them from my Tivo.

I agree 1000%. If the hawks were playing I would be home no doubt, but I'd rather watch my freind race since I can't than watch the game. If I can make both........then that is icing in the cake.

I'm coming out to watch you, but you need to know this!!! As a freind and speaking from experience, when you get to the power level you and many others are at, you need to take it easy on that cold track. I don't want to see any of my freinds hit the wall.

I'm not joking!! That track will be shitty for traction no matter how manny big boys run to warm it up before you.

Just tell me that you'll give it some N/A runs first to feel out the track and then take the nitrous runs slowly. Okay?????? You have all season to hit your goals.

my plan is to do at least one N/A run (more if it looks like I will get plenty of runs)
and I want at least 2 runs on the spray,

I will be borrowing some 16" Mickey Thompson's form Mike F (while waiting for mine to come in)

Dude.........even with full race slicks it won't matter. That track will be shitty.

Ask Ellis he know's first hand!!!

Most of the guys here with power like yours or more know that it takes quite alot of track prep and a nice warm track to get traction. I'm not trying to be a dick, just want you to be aware.

as far as the traction,
I've gotta get a feel for it sooner or later,
I'm currently running the BFG KDWS tires (400 treadware)
I won't be hitting the juice in first anyways. (can't get traction N/A)
