I miss sac raceway. Such a good vibe there. Phoenix just doesn't have the same comradere. Seems way more competitive here. Though not quite as much fun as the illegal drags that used to take place in south sac, but so much cleaner/safer. Actually I just miss sac in general. I see you're in folsom. I wonder if we worked at the same place Would be crazy if I knew / saw you and never made the connection on here.

You're just late to the scene. We had some fantastic AMG meets and drag days here, at Speedworld and Firebird. AMG Guys even came from SoCal to hang with us for the weekends.

Was pretty warm when we got there ~7pm, but cooled down really nicely after 9pm

Too bad an old rat rod hit the wall ~8:30, cleanup takes about an hour so we went home...

Was this a wed night drags or something? Too bad sac raceway is a 2 hour drive. I like the test and tune style sac raceway does. I live 40 minutes from Sonoma raceway, but it's always garbage bracket racing. The reason I say garbage is because I want to keep running faster at each pass, not consistent. Maybe if I was as fast as that GTR, bracket racing would be ok.

Did you run your car? Curious what it runs, I saw your new dyno tune net you 480whp, pretty sweet! I'm just sock with cooling split and ran a 12.6 @110 at raceworz at Sac

If you breakout you still keep running in lanes 1& 2 all night, usually get 3-4 runs in

Looking forward to seeing what you run. You might as well buy a helmet, your going to need it from here on anyways! I got mine on amazon for $50. Do you have drag radials?
