E Town Opening Date

I "Think" E Town said they would be open for T&T on Feb 26 (weather permitting) "I don't plan on going unless its 50 + deg.

However The CC warm-up is March 19th....anyone know whats going on Sat march 5th & 12th.. I'd like to go on one of those dates (Again Weather Permitting) just to get the seat time, & try to avoid the .2xx light that I'm well known for

This year I'll be called .1xx Panuzzo most of my runs should start with a 1.. Hopefully with a little practice, & DEEP staging, I'll be .0xx and might win a few rounds.... I know Deep will slow me down about a tenth but I can adjust for it with "shoe polish" where as in the 11.50 you go DEEP.. you better be able to back it up... & as my car sits now even with a converter I cant run 11.50 even with a converter (I think) especially if I have to DEEP STAGE to cut a light...

Which puts me out of the 11.50 unless I want to spend $3000 + for converter, cam, & some head work...

I wonder if Cartek, ECS, or Vette Doctors, are looking to sponsor a car...

I'll admit I'm a little inconsistent on a "FULL TREE" however I honestly think I can run with the best of them on a .500 Pro Tree!!

I just have to be able to run the # with DEEP Staging...

Thanks for the offer.. but that stuff scares me to death.. I've seen too many "Accidental" engine explosions... & I CAN'T AFFORD ONE !

Also how consistent would I (or anyone) be using the "gas" to win in the Bracket you need a .050 or better light, and have to run +.04 or -.00 of your dial...

In the 11.50 you better be able to cut a low teen light or better!!! & run 11.5x to be competitive !! JMO

I know a few people (I'm still on the fence about it) are going on the 12th for the Street Wars event but I already know what you're going to post about that.

They open for test and tune Sunday only the following weekend as well

After that it is the import doms thing sat 12th and Sunday first point day.
Be sure and call if you come down cause if t is too cold or windy they will not open.

Just run your car as is in the 11.50 jpee. Tree and reputation will get you in the game.
