Brian, I still say you should've raced. Last time I had that happen (only once, actually), I just kept going after letting my car cool down for about an hour. I still ran consistent 13.4s on the slicks (pretty warm and humid as hell).

Jason, what's your 1/8 mile stats? Actually, can you post the whole slip? Sorry to hear that, but I bet it still looked good even though it was spewing oil. I never got to see your car. You wanna sell me your alphawerks headers?

Anthony, the next track day would be tomorrow. Gates open at 11 am, race from 12pm - 6pm. You coming?

Travis, don't worry about it. Yours will be fine. You coming to Starbucks in the morning, right?


BTW, I predict a sorry *** 13.7 for me tomorrow (being generous).

Not enough notice..? Anthony, I made this thread over a month ago and we've been talking about the days the track will be open. Hahaha, I understand.

The next day the track is open is this upcoming Friday, 29th. Doors open at 6pm, race is from 7pm - 12am.

Yes, Starbucks (behind the coffee shop building, rather) at 9:45 am. We'll be leaving the place at 10:00 am.

Jason, you're always welcome to join us in whatever car.

Just as long as you pay on time (i suggest making the payments as early as you can before the "due date" for helping on interest) every month, and even a little more than the minimum due every month (even $10- $20 helps) add's up after a while. Thats going to help you the most as far as building your "car credit"


Will not be making the 29th event. Its one of my close friend's birthdays, and it will be a drunken party night.
