But you did not miss anything.. It was horrible hot there today. Atleast 95
I checked the Density Altitude for today and it was over 2500 ft..I would of done better if I would of ran at Mason Dixon. So, no new records for me today
The next track i want to try is Capital.

WOW..it was hot
Glad I got to run a different track but I didn't do any good. Found out that my stock clutch does not like the high heat Once the heat peaked at mid day I started having hard time getting it to engage.
Time for another mod
Wish I could make capital but I'll be out of town. Good luck!

You are right about MIR, much longer track... Is Captial the same length?
I might be able to make this coming friday night.

The thing that I didn't like about MIR is that while staging my car took hits from the debris off of the car in front of me doing his burnout. 
What's with all the small gravel in the burnout area?
