You can probably do more than 3 runs, because after around 12, people start leaving. However, the track will only stay open if there's "enough interest" from the racers. That means at least 8 racers hot-lapping to keep it open.

And your car should be fine as long as it's tuned properly. Your goal for the night is to break into 13s. You know it's going to be harder to launch than from when you were NA, too. Have fun.

Beat on it right away...why not? I don't think there is a break-in period.

So are you coming for sure then? I'd love to run against a SC Z to see the differences in each gear.

All those who can come, should come. Most of you guys have many more mods than I do. Don't you guys want to catch up to my times?

Yeah, I wish you could, too. You were by far the best/closest competitor. That was fun.

Hopefully, by next year, I'll have hit 12s and have nitrous all set to go.

Im in the process of hooking up my nitrous now. I think I might do a DIY write up for installing a ZEX wet kit. Since no one on this site has a complete write up on the Nitrous Install.

You should do one (with lots of pics). It doesn't take too long to write one.

I'm jealous. Just wait until I hit 12s..
