Just like everyone here, I am getting unpatient about my car sitting in the garage and colecting dust. It's time for some fun :yesnod:

Ziggy,

Long time no talk.

There are 22 days left until APRIL 6th OPENING DAY!

"FREE RACING WITH PAID SPECTATOR ADMISSION FOR THE ENTIRE FIRST WEEK WE ARE OPEN! "

So, it's "free"... but not really. :crazy:

That isn't as good as you think. Remember, the launch pad is STILL THERE! (spin spin spin)

And, the new surface can only be slicker. :rolleyes:

Yeah, but I think they were going to do that also. I was there the weekend after the paving and cut my best times there. It hooked GREAT!!!! I was impressed and surprised. I cut a best of 1.61 60' on bfg DR. Hopefully it will get better after more runs have been put down and they bathe it in vht . :D :lol: :yesnod:

I've been too afraid of going up there and embarrassing myself since the last time Patrick beat me!! :D I guess it's time for me to get back up there and get the cobwebs out of the car. Hopefully I'll have the stupid thing back together this weekend... :rolleyes:
Still need to do some tuning runs before Road America!

I am actually hoping for some spin, I don't want to break my rear end (still Dana36 :smash: ).

I can wait 22 days, but only if the weather is bad and cold :jester othervise it's going to feel like 23 days :jester .

Patrick, what times did you run with your GS?

Best in the stock GS was 13.08 @ 109.9. I had a real hard time getting it of the hole with a best 60 foot of 2.20.

Mark,

Let me know if your need any help with the tuning (Fun, Fun!). School is out, and I'm not taking classes next quarter so I actually have free time :).
