Does this mean that no matter how early you get there before 6 AM, you will have to wait in a parking lot nearby and scramble to the front of the line when they open the gates to beat all the other people waiting in nearby parking lots?

That would suck to show up an hour early if you still have to fight for a spot with people that get there later than you.

Hope yall don`t mind if I show up, gotta see if theres any improvement since I first bought her.....anyone running with the swaybar unhooked? I`m curious about that little piece of advice, I know there was a thread about it not too long ago....

the more the better for parking and runs!

taking the front sway bar releases more front weight to shift to the rear on launch for better weight transfer.

Did the track seem slow to any of you guys today at Cal. Speedway? I talked to some people who said the wind wasn't really affecting the times, but it seemed like my trap speeds were down. Then again, I've never run at Cal. Speedway before with this car.

I only got two runs in - the best was a 12.89@108.5 with a 2.19 60'. Not real fast but least I got my first "official" 12 sec timeslip. The time in my sig is a corrected time based my best run at LACR.

Not really! Ran 12.67 @ 110.71 w/ 1.98 60' ( best ever)

SCRWS6 Dec 4, 2006 10:41 AM

Damn, what time did you guys run those? I got my first two runs in then got called back to the office, best time was a 13.8.....

My best run was at around 12:00.

It was cool to get my first 12 sec. timeslip, but I'm not sure if it's worth getting to the track at 6 AM just to get 2 runs in 7 hours of time at the track...

thanks man, yeah the prep was actually decent and not too much heat... just the wind sucked. my best was a 1.77 so still a bit off from irwindale but each time out the track gets better.
