I'd love to run you and take your car from you along with your pride! But I got stuff to do, plus my car is low on gas and money is tight, wheels aren't here, tires aren't mounted, I still need to retune, clutch feels funny, and I gotta cut the grass. Tell you what this time next year we will run for pinks! My car should be ready by then...you game or you gonna back out like always!?

I didn't make it. I wanted to go but didn't find enough people to make it worth while and plus I had to polish up some wheels I sold. I do want to run at Zmax once though! But now I have NO wheels except my 17" wheels. So it would be pointless to go and only bust off a mid 13 second run.

it funny that you're joking cuz I see so many people that actually say **** like that when they don't wanna race. guy down here with a turbo honda always wants to race me when he gets pushing more and more boost and everytime I beat him his clutch is slipping or he has a boost leak....

I don't think so. Basically the 4 lane idea was if the track has a wreck or something that will take a while to clean they switch over to the other lanes. They should have double the workers and have all 4 going at once that way you get half the wait to run.

Is ZMax any better than it used to be?


All I have ever heard from the locals is that the only time the track is worth a flip is when the NHRA comes to town.

blake..Ive been chattn w the guy that has the sts turbo car..he ran low 11s on a bad run but has to get some things fixed now

heater..zmax is better..I went two weeks ago and hooked better than I did at farmington..its not perfect but they're getting better

mike..they dont let them run 3 n 4 wide at tnt..like stop said its basically for a major wreck that would require extensive cleanup..then they'd switch..but it didnt look like they were prepared for that..could be wrong

btw its only 5 to watch..and it can be interesting watching all the newbs at the big 1/4 mile..also so big money in charlotte so u see the occasional porsche, lambo, or GTR

I'm looking at the map at work right now. 95 is down near Florence and close to Charleston. That is about dead on 3 hours from me. If you hit 26 in Florence to Columbia and then north on 26 you would land a stone throw away from my house! We can run then!!!

Otherwise we could meet at Zmax Saturday maybe.
