Since I get there early usually I just park near the stand where they sell shirts and such.

As far as getting things fixed...maybe when they switch names in January, they will be on top of stuff like that.

Looks like I will be out there around 7ish. Will try and park around the concession area also. Will probably be wearing a blueish\gray TEXAS zip up hoddie.
Pewter Z28 with 18 inch chrome Z06s.
May also be with a guy\car with a Neon on a trailer(don't ask).
Thanks for the offers on the helmet. I was just shocked last time when I was told one was required and I don't make it there that often. May look into buying one if I start coming out more often.

Thanks,
Wes

I totally understand having to wear a helmet due to safety and so on, however I usually just keep it in the passenger seat for when the time booth asks if I have one.

Might sound crazy but since I have NO exhaust work done, I have a hard time hearing the car when wearing the helmet haha

Edit: I get there around 6

your car rolls out hard!

D98GT's 5.0, sorry for the horrible video quality. It was the cheapest camera I could buy at Best Buy tonight, and the zoom got stuck where it would only zoom in and not out, so the video is shakey.

Appreciate the video winters!! The car did see 11.9s tonight however did manage to get the 12.001 @ 115.05 pass on video which is great for a stock car with a tire.

Now it's time to mod!!

Your car runs hard! Especially for what it is. I got a new personal best last night too but it was nowhere near what you're running. I need some tires bad.
