well they had some vids.. i PMed them to you.... looks like they are some pretty fast cars...

they asked if i could set something up with you or matt.. i told them i would see what i could do.. wouldnt hurt to agree.. they said they would make the trip down here, so it wouldnt hurt anything, worst case scenario, they dont show.. best scenario, you win 500$..




theres a kid over here... but he has a shwinn, pretty quick for what it is..

clarksville uses a pro tree though... and as soon as you stage, they are activating the tree....

The last time I went there I couldn't even race anyone. As soon as I staged, the green light would be on already, and I'm still revving my motor to my launch rpm......

It does...LOL but it's a track with timing and that beats I-24 and the PoPo.

They run a pro tree for MM to get as many cars down the track as they can. If they know your a serious racer and all they'll give you the time you need or a different tree. William has put VHT on the track for me and others before, he just doesnt like to waste money on street tire cars that **** up the track surface.

I've had one for awihle... lol

that's how quick they are, lol.

linelock and 2 step on a momentary switch and floor it right after I hit the stage beams. I still never could get it up to 5500 before the green light....

Clarksville is fun to dick around at.... but not a legit place to race. Even though it seems I'm the only person that hooks there

lol he wouldn't even put water in the water box for me! I pulled up and asked the guy who was signaling cars, and he said he wouldn't do it. So I literally had to:

drive my car out of the staging lanes and in front of the box.
Get out of my car, run over to the water hose and grab the hose.
Run over and try to put water in teh water box, just to realize the freakin hose wasn't on
Run back over and turn the faucet on
Run back over and put water in the water box
Run back over to the faucet and put the hose back
Got back in my car and finally got to do a burnout.
