I drive around it even on tires then back in. No use in draging water with my huge front street tires.

haha, then to top it off the poor guy came back down the road in front of the stands and it was blocked off by some dragster testing...lol. That rear tire looked like it was about to fall off when he was turning around.

Same here, but I noticed this past Friday, the water could not be avoided.

Since I am on runflats, I really wanted to avoid the water, but could not. I made 4 of 5 runs on the right lane and even if I could avoid the water, by mid way through the night, the crowd was moving more and more toward the right lane approach area.

Here's my pic taken that same night. First time to the track since around May 2007 when I had my 2005 GTO, and I was happy to be running again.

Major props for making those runs on runflats on that track. I saw your car out there, and is it very nice. It had been about 5 years scince I had been to any track, but that realy isnt any excuse for the crappy runs I made. I could leave ok but would break loose further down the track. I just need some track time......

You had crappy passes? Man I felt like I was 15 again and just learning how to drive much less knowing how to do a burnout. Line lock here I come with my clutch! With the power my car makes, I should be knocking on 10.xxs not granny shifting into the high 12.00s!
