Default Lakeland this weekend?

Anyone hitting Lakeland on Saturday? Taking the street pony again and the weather station. Have to remember how to use it.

Can't make it this weekend got to work good luck up there wish I can go. The weather station will take patience amazing how many times I've been frustrated with mine. You should get at least three or four runs in the weather station and you will be fine. You can get at least four runs in before the real race..... Good luck....

Rick, tell the boss that your sick and come out to race. Last time I used the station was back in '05 or '06. I became aquainted with the tracks and eyeballed a few hitters that the station wasn't necessary. I was shocked last time out (lakeland) that the the mustang picked up so much due the the better air. As a sandbagger it's hard for me to dial down. Will catch up to you sooner or later.

I was busy helping Rob with his go fast car at OSW..he qualified 10th at 8.25 in the 1/4 mile...motor only and never hit the 350 shot...

He got staged wrong at the tree and never got into the groove..hit the pebbles and had to lift...I did not stage him...shame because he was on kill...

He did do better with his Malibu in Sportsman..he won the last night of fire at OSW...took out his last three opponents leading them through by .009, .006 and .001 in the final...he was holding 6 to 7 every round...nice driving...

See you at BMP on Friday...

I was told 92 sportsman racers showed up...I was shocked at the turn out...word all over the pits is that Ozzie, from Lakeland, made the deal to take over OSW starting in January....now if he takes it IHRA all will be well..we all have our fingers crossed...
