If I can get off early enough today I will head out. I still have a little bit of prep to do to the car and had to work late last night so i never got to it.

ANyone concerned about the temperature of the track? I might just be a weenie but I think it might be a little too cold to hook. Either way, I am going to head out and get there around 6ish before the sun sets.

How was the track prep? HRP is supposed to be using some high end new VHT on the track and they scraped it smooth.

Any reports?

I saw your truck, it ran pretty good.

I also saw a white truck with lots of dope that I think was Paco, thing moved out.

I sat in line for an hour and a half needing to **** while that stupid Porche driver got pulled out of the gravel.

My car would not hook last night. I dropped the pressure to 20 in my Nittos and still spun through 1st and 2nd. It also might be part of not being able to do a real burnout with my clutch. Maybe I need to take a class on racing for idiots.

Deerhunter, I saw you in the tech line. We got there early and ran laps(4-5 times). Two impressive things I saw there was a bone stock 08-09 vette, maroon that was running 12.12@118 and that twin turbo, v12 mercedes 12.30 118.5.
