There was a small crowd this time but two weeks ago the place was loaded.
Thanks for the info, if weather permits I will bring mine up there, I would like to meet more tech members, there isn't many or any at all that come out to MMP here.

Normally the track is alright for the first hour to 1.5 hours. It's 95% street tires so it goes away pretty quick. Sundays is a lot better but it's also $35 total to get in and race.

If you have any kind of drag radials or slicks then Steele isn't bad at all. Usually we have more problems with the car trying to bog on QTPs than actually losing traction.

Me and a couple of my buddies are usually up there. Seems like the one damn Friday I decide not to go and the crowd thins out a little bit and there is another TBSS up there. IDK if we will be going this Friday with the thing at Vengeance being this Saturday. I guess we will see what we have going on this weekend.

I wouldn't think you would have many problems with the drag radials on your car. There is only one way to find out though.

Oh I'll be there, it's a 2.5 hour drive for me but I'll be there, I am still dialing my car in from last friday so I am hoping to be a bit faster.
