E-Town Last Night

Looks like the Porta tree does help.....

Nice!
I was there along with PaulZ06.
Only got two runs in over 4 hours. The place was a zoo and I got no traction
First run in the right lane - car fished tailed before the sixty foot mark and I had to back off the throttle, got into it again - same result. Had to do it all the way down the track 11.9 at 90 something MPH.
Second run (after waiting for 3 consecutive oil downs). Same result, fish tailed, shifted into second - fishtailed, shifted into third then finally got into the throttle - 12.4 @ 119.
Drove it right back onto the trailer since the staging lanes were already closed. As I was loading up to go - somebody smacked the wall pretty hard. Driver OK but they had to put the car up on a trailer and then get the portable jet dryer out.
Got to see Mike Romain - looks like you are on the mend.
Should have listened to the posts talking about how much of a zoo etown is on Wednesdays before the summer hits.

I agree ... what a Zoo
It's my first Wed. at E-town I did get there kind of late but I guess I can say I'm satisfied with the lights an 60' I produced. I just need to make sure I can do this on Sat. Car could have been around 11.7s but we did have some headwind against us.

My Dad and I were there too.
We both had traction problems too. We got 4 runs each, but both of us had wheelspin on three out of four runs
It was a crazy night at e-town with two oildowns and a Camaro smacking the wall

I got two runs in by 7pm. And then I was silly enough to hang around until 10:30pm to get the other two!
