I don't like the track halfway down to bumpy but oddly kinda fun. The prep can be good at times or if you happen to be behind a diesel they just tear the track at the line up or people drive through the water alot on street tires. But all in all k-dale and northstar are about the same to me. They both have good qualities and bad qualities
I just seem to run faster at nortstar.

I agree with you Clinton, the trucks that are 2500 and up with mud tires seem to tear the staging lane apart. Although I have a blast watching a pair of them go at it. But for the most part my fastest time was out at K-dale which was a 8.4 and a 8.5 at northstar. Oddly enough my fastest times were the first runs at each occasion.

All this with headers and a lid. Now for some suspension work. If Shannon would quit selling all his stuff out from under me I would have a complete setup lol, J/K

The Aura of Bad *** is glowing brightly for me right now. It will shine me the way to victory tomorrow.

Another great LSM day

Part of the problem that I saw was their guy spraying the water all the way across the track width so you can't really go around it.

i coudlnt believe it how they just let so many people in the burnout area. it should be no one buy the drivers and their immediate crew. i felt like i was at some underground **** fighting arena.

i had steam coming from my ears on sunday. people were leaning on my car and ****. and that place is so poorly managed. 1/8th mi is only half the damn race, and there were so few cars there, but it took a good 30-45 minutes between my runs. there was absolutley no order in how thye were doing anything.

at least they have a time slip booth on the return road now.

i got problems with that track, but as i'm knock knock knockin' on 7's door, i'll try to come out if it doesnt rain.

ol' Aaron. How you doing bud? You gonna make it out to see the show. By the way guys I just checked the weather and we should be good to go. It rained some this morning but the radar looks clear for K-Dale area.

I am not a weather man and nature can change its course, but I feel the Aura today guys and that means another great LSM day.

Probably not gonna go... Oil cooler is still leaking although I did replace my intercooler pump yesterday (finally)... Anyways, I might decide to replace the oil cooler when I get home, not sure yet... it also depends if this girl calls me back

try setting your shift light for 200-300 rpms below your desired shift point to compensate for your reaction time to the light. i set mine to 6000 for a 6200rpm shift

just checked weather.com... rain chance is up to 50% for after 5pm. kinda risky to get caught in the rain with drag radials...

What are you talking about? Sudays are the ****. Now if you get there early you can run as much as you want, later on that night they mainly run the big cars and do the money races and there is always some entertainment on the starting line. Hell I usually make some pretty good money out there on Sundays... Don't be scared of all the brotha's out there. hahhaaha

Scared is not the word… why would I put myself around so much ignorance? People are not safe out there at all and kdale does absolutely nothing to regulate the stupidity of most of the people there. I’m not scared, it’s just not fun to me. I go out there to race and to support my friends when they race.
