Default Bremerton raceway Friday night anyone?

Right now the weather looks good for Friday. Anyone going out? I'm planning to go out and try Robert's BFG's in hopes of better traction. Cool air in the forecast!

So ... so ... sooo tempting.

Best of luck out there though. Hope to see a 10 out of that machine!

I heard they don't give you the slip when you get kicked out though so make sure you get a full out pass on video tape.

I'm taking leave Thursday and Friday in attempts to fix my nitrous issue and make it out Friday for some tuning. Right now I got some parts in the mail in hopes they arrive Thursday. If I can get the parts and fix my issue, I'll be out for some tuning. If not.............I still may come out to root you guys on.

More to follow.

I plan on being there if I make it. If not Saturday. This is the last chance to see if the Camaro is fixed (Thanks Ellis) before racing starts. I guess I'll get to test my Vette at the first race. Hope it still runs OK.

You are welcome to park by the Ford people. Look for an all black 82 GT if you need a place where someone can watch your stuff.

Sorry Chris, I won't be able to make it after all. Forgot that we have a boat launching friday at 7:00. Good luck with the tires, and I will be watching for your posted 10.xx slip.

Let me know if you go! That way I can at least get you back the bottle I borrowed.

Cool. Thanks again for letting me borrow it, and I apologize for taking so long to get it back to you.

Sounds great, looking forward to see everyone out there. I'm thinking of bringing the family out, and get them out of school early to beat the traffic over the bridge. Hooky for racing! No trailer yet though... I hope to have a good run, but hate to be "one and done"! If I get warned, I'll maybe lift at the start or finish to kill some ET.

Lift at the 1000' mark if you're worried about breaking out Chris. Then you will get a good idea of what your car "would have run" had you stayed in it to the end.

I might make it out....Saturday....maybe. I'll be working Friday night again.

I'd make your first few passes lifting to get practice in until you're feeling good about launches, etc.

Then pedal to the metal.

I forgot my son was borrowing my truck this weekend to move.....let me know if you plan to go Saturday Bill. And if you'd have room in your truck to carry my wheels & tires. Looks like rain for Sunday, but I'd like to make a few time trial runs Sat to check the car out.
