Anyone planning on going this Wed to Sears point (Infineon)? (I just checked and the weather should be clear)

I put the drag radials back on the car yesterday. Boy it was fun driving in the rain! I'm going to try to make it if I get out of work in time.

i will miss this Weds, but it may rain or in any event the track might be too wet. I'll be there the 15th or whatever Weds falls on.

Looks like it's going to rain all week. Doubt the track will be dry enough to run.

That's what it looks like. But who knows. If it doesn't pan out maybe we could meet up for dinner. Maybe see what Lou is doing too? Just a thought. Then again, there's next week.

Edit 3-06 11:55p : Checked weather.com says Wed / Thurs only 20% chance.

Well, are you going? I'm in a holding pattern right now. However, if I get a call within the next two hours (call is overdue) and do not have to go over to SV, I will try to make it.
That's if, anyone confirms in the thread that they are going.
I will check back here after a while and update my status.

Default New best time tonight

Well the track was open tonight but it closed early due to the rain. I got 3 runs in. My best run was faster then any of my runs last season. I haven't done anything else to the car so maybe it was just the cold air or the fact that I needed a good break over the winter.

13.377 @ 103.08 MPH

Right Lane

Car # 1000

WOW!! You rule, Sean! Imagine what you could run if you took the passenger seat out
Is the Tercel guy still there, along with the Buick dudes?

Hey! You leave my passenger seat outta this! I saw both of those guys at the track tonight. The guy in the Tercel was pulled over by the CHP right outside the track when I was heading home. Don't know the details of why.
