I wouldn't mind going. I'll check my calander and get back at you. I dunno about running mine, the tires on the front are almost done. I need an alignment HELLA bad.

Anyone else?

If the weather looks good, I'll be going for sure. The gates open at 9am I think. I've got a full tank of 93 and added some octane booster just in case I still have the "winter" blend. I'll only be making four passes probably. Two on the 4.10/91 octane tune and two on the 4.10/93 octane tune.

Then I'll be doing the J-mod soon and bringing it back for some more testing. But that'll be a few weeks from now.

I won't be able to make it. I'm working that day am unable to take off. Maybe we could all get together now that its getting warmer.

Maybe. With all this rain, the track will be wet from the bottom up. Anyone going to the forest park easter show?

The forecast Saturday is 48 and cloudy now. I don't think they'll even race if it's that cold.

I usually go to the easter show every year but....this year I actually have a significant other and I've already been told we'll be spending easter at both parents house, which means an all day affair for me.

They did race at Gateway on yesterday. It was 41 degrees with a wind coming straight down the track in our face. Ugly, but the track has new concrete for the 60 foot and starting line. Bottom line, the track had traction.

I did two runs, 12.698 and 12.695, both at 109. The 60 foot times were 1.98 & 1.96. Great morning.

I was wondering if anyone went. Maybe one of these days I'll get to come out and play. Nice runs by the way. Man I need a supercharger....

I figured they wouldn't run with the temp being so cold so I stayed home and worked on the house. I'm a HUGE wuss when it comes to being cold. lol

Nice runs Buckwheat! I heard about the new starting line, can't wait to try it out.
