No problem. Mustangs have a tendency to blow up and oil down the track from previous experience lol. No paypal necessary, you just pay cash at the gates. turbo foxbody's are BADASS!!!

This goes for everyone, if you see smoke out the rear view going down the track or feel something let loose pull over (close to the barrier) as soon as you safely can so that there isn't oil/coolant all the way down the track and cause for a very lengthy clean up. Last time a mustang oiled down the track all the way down the 1/4 and took hours to clean up and was asked to leave by the track. Also PLEASE wear your helmet if you are faster than 14.0 or the track will get pissed.

Yea I was going to run when it happened. Was ready to launch the **** out of it and either break or beat my time! After that I decided to let Luis borrow my wheels and tires and just pack up.

Yup, you are right! Brain fart.

Need a favor, fellas......

My pit crew (wife) will not be able to join me on the 18th, so this leaves me with the problem of getting my drag radials to the track. I don't want to drive the 200 miles round trip on them. Would anyone in the Montgomery County or Frederick area be willing to schlep my wheels down to MIR?

If so, I'd take care of all of your consumables for the day. Ice, snacks, drinks, lunch, race fuel etc....

I can drop them off in my truck before the track day and pick them up, soon after the track day.

Anyone able to help?

Thanks Mike, will do.

Bukasa lives right next door to my office so it should be super easy. I had forgotten that he's running street tires and has the room.
