Default TnT in Steele, AL on Jan. 20th

Myself, and a few other TBSS's will be headed down there for some TnT on Sunday the 20th. Just wondering if anyone else was going to be there?

Oh, it's definitely serious. I have a few TBSS guys from TN, a few from GA, and a few from AL coming. Also have a couple of f-bodies coming. I'm also watching the weather, it's a 3-hr drive for me.

Right now, weather.com is showing highs around 50, and sunny for that weekend. *keeping fingers crossed*

I bent a ****** wheel @ Steele the first night I ever raced there. I didn't see the holes and hit one @ 120 mph. Shook my damn teeth out the whole way home. About 20 miles outside of ATL I had to pull over at a truck stop, borrow a jack from a truck driver and rotate my bent wheel to the rear.


Ahh, those were the days.

A TBSS is the perfect car to run at steele

They did fix it up some, it was pretty nasty a few years ago.

Lol......why is that, because you need an SUV to get down the track?

The year before last, you needed a desert rally car to appreciate the top end of the track.

The 2nd 1/8 mile and the shutdown after that is pretty rough. Not as bad as it used to be, for a 120mph car or one that that doesnt sit low its no big deal. I still pucker up a bit from the 660 on but I'll still run there sometimes.

Its kind of like autocrossing and drag racing combined with the shutdown

I dont mind paying 30.00 to race if its a decent track, at least they have paved pits, retaining walls and the starting line works well usually. I have nothing against the track at all, hopefully they use that extra money to make some improvements on the racing surface.

Its stock, I ran it 1/8 mile in the summer and it ran 9.03 or something with a little tune. I have some parts, headers, converter, CAI and e-fans but I havent touched it. Been driving the redneck limo (black dmax 4 door pickup) lately and the TBSS has been sitting. Has like 950 miles on it lol.

I was looking for mid 12s and I think it will do it in cooler weather, been busy with the TA lately. I may go and make some 1/8 mile passes in the firebird, its hard to tell the weather lately so I'll wait to the 19th to decide
