jcfreak: Is your truck pewter? I swear I saw it in Montgomery one day. It was on the Eastern Bypass by Home Depot. It was kinda hard to miss, with the STS stickers and all...

Tonight will be a GOOD night at the track. The barometer is a little low but the 20mph west wind and low temps will make up for it.

jet_black you will have your 12s timeslip.

What time are you all going to get to MMP?

Yeah if they prep the track worth anything tonight I think the majority of cars are going to hook. I know I woun't hook, I need some Mickey Thompson ET's to plant the rear end.

I think a lot of us are planning to get there right at 6. Looks like about 5 going in our group. I'm thinking it will be crowded tonight being the first T&T.

The secret to hooking at MMP on TnT night is to get there when they open and make your passes early. As the night goes on the track will go away.

Clint got a new best tonight of 12.98 @ 110mph, 60 ft was 2.021. He did really well!

As for me not so well, street tires just didn't hold up. Going back tomorrow with the nittos on my car for some T&T.

I got four of them actually.

Best was 12.789 @ 111.53 with a 60' of 2.085

JNorris is right about getting there early. I couldn't hook for s**t after bunches of people started running. Damn ricers dragging water through the box. You beat the crowd also. I was hoping to break into the 1.xx 60' club, but oh well, I guess I'll have to wait for warmer weather.

What'd you wind up running Greenfire?

Congratulations guys on the new bests.

jet_black - get that 60' down to high 1.6s and you will be running high 11s in good air.

We'll just say my times sucked, I called about getting some MT ET's and they are on a 2 week back order. Just my luck I guess, they have plenty of 16's if I want to get em and put them on. They are all out of 275/40/17's, ugghhhgg decisions....

I just got back from MMP (3/12) and the track was HOOKING! I was running 19psi hot in the Hoosiers and cutting 1.52 – 1.57 60s. I ran 7.11 to 7.17 in the 1/8 all day long! The DA was +1700ft.

I don't see how with the set-up I've got now. Maybe with a converter. I won't be able to get the SSF3500 I want until Dec or so. I've also decided that I'll keep my current engine cam-only. I'm not gonna spend money on heads until I go with the forged 408 I'm planning. I'm thinking about the TSP 233/239 on a 114. Whatcha think John?

I'm jealous. I work Saturdays 8-5. No track time for me. I would have LOVED to have been out there. How often do they run Saturdays during the day?

It varies. Take a look at the MMP web site for full schedule info.

On 3/26-27 MMP is hosting the Southeast Import National. (http://www.mmpdragracing.com/news/news050326.htm ) It is open to all cars. I am sure I will be running in it.
