I want to be there. Same meeting spot/ time. My cars back together but tuning it is becoming a hassle.

Yea, I called them right when they opened. They towed my car (although it took them 3 hours to get here) to the body shop from my house, then the adjuster drove it back to my house within an hour.

There had better not be any ******* rain this Saturday. I missed out last weekend and I've been dying to go. I just hope I don't embarass myself on street tires.

Dont worry man I am sure I will get some pretty bad R/T's on my car because I have only actually launched my car from a dig maybe.... 3 or 4 times since I have owned her, and I havent been to a track in a loooooooong time.

Practice makes perfect! I am hoping for 40's and no rain... less people, and damn does the car run better when its cold outside as opposed to summer heat!

The difference is that I used to drag race on street tires before I started using slicks. It just has been a while, but hopefully I can still obtain ~2.0 60's.

I'll probably skip it this weekend, even if it is nice. If there turns out to be nothing to do mid day i might whip down there and just peep the scene. I might throw my 345 bfg drag radial wheels on and come boil those in hopes of a sub 2.0 60ft/12sec et.

I will actually need to wait one more week. I forgot about the fact that I need to take the car into the shop this weekend. I'll catch up with the drag strip on the 22nd!

Sorry for the rain guys. Not that this means much, it is supposed to be in the 70's and partly cloudy next weekend.

That sound like a good plan because we did not get to do one run until after 1.
