I've been trying to watch the vids that Becky posted of NL's car but the computer is so slow in downloading them I could probably ride to Hendersonville and see it live before the vids would download.

I would like to go, but I don't know. We went last year. It was a lot of fun. Not many people, so you can run as much as you want.

Wanted to go but I have to work tonight and I couldn't get the truck to tow me there. I don't think the rear would like me to make to many more passes on it without breaking. LOL...so let us know how you all did please!

Just got back. Didn't do good. Track was hooking up really well with my ET D/R but my car was just lacking something. It was like it took a little too long to upshift. I will play with the tune a little this week and see what it was.

I was already nervous about going down the track after every thing my car and I have been through these past few months. My first run my throttle stuck open when I did my burn out. The car ran right through the starting line almost to the 60' mark with my foot on the brake for all it was worth. I finally let my foot off the brake long enough to tap the throttle and that stopped it.

Only made 2 passes, ET 7.81 & 7.83. My 60' wasn't bad at 1.689, but the car just didn't have it down the track.
