*edit*- wait a minute, you run 10.7@132...thats stout competition right there!

It's all in good fun my friend...

. Getting the opportunity to run against fast MB's gets me excited and I love the challenge!

I'm hoping to still be in the 10's come this November but unfortunately my last round of mods didn't work out. I actually made myself slower and need to try and get it back. Make no mistake, she's still running good but just not as good as she once did, at least not yet. I have lost the desire to push her anymore and I'll settle with what I get this next time around. At least I had the opportunity to run a few 10 second passes, and that alone satisfies me.

We used to vary the price depending on how many people we get, but because the last few times too many people canceled at the last minute, we stopped doing that.

I believe the track owner has set us up for 50 cars... this number is usually determined by the insurance plan/policy he uses. For now, any car over the 50th car will get added to the waiting list and will not be able to race unless someone else cancels. If we get too many cars that want to join, then we will look into opening up 15 more spots, but insurance will be higher.

Hey Mo, any chance on having separate lanes like Ahmad at MIR? I love the idea of keeping the street tires and DR's on separate lanes. This would give the boys with DR's a much better chance getting lower 60' times.

I think most tires will peel away the VHT if they are spinning off the line. I'm hoping most people with DR's will get significantly better traction with less spin off the line, which in turn keeps more VHT down.

Ill never forget the day my brother went and got a new '78 Macho T/A. His was Black and Gold.. too cool..

In fact, a family member came home and said: Hey, I just saw a guy that looked exactly like Keith hauling *** down the road in a new trans am... 5 minutes later, we hear a rumble in the driveway.. ah, the good 'ol days.
