i can get alot of people to come just remind meis this a 1/4 or 1/8 mile i really hate 1/8 mile drags

 

unfortunately its an 1/8th mile and, unlike LACR, they aren't sport compact friendly (most of the time). The announcer likes to make fun of us "ricers" on the PA/broadcast and the crew tends to try and water down your street tires as you try to steer around the waterbox. The staging guys are pretty cool, as long as you do what you are told and pay attention to their hand signs... if you don't your night will be pretty tough.

You will get at least 5-6 runs, which is 2 to 3x more than Cali Speedway. And, really it's the only track open on a regular basis now that LACR and Lake Perris are gone. For all its faults, I really do miss LACR

But still, it's a night at the track and I go for the company, not The Company.

and don't forget the tacos.. the tacos are good.

True about the tacos. If I have my car back I might show up to watch.

My best time there is 8.4@88mph spinning through 1st and 2nd.

 

it's definitely a muscle car venue... but fun for Gs & Zs nonetheless! Not uncommon to see 5 sec cars there!!!

Tons of Runs (a big +)... and IMO - WAY better than LACR - 60' times are always good there! Nice track prep! Never had the issue of ricer jabs or water box probs - I just make eye contact and shake my head and they are cool – if you don’t catch their eye you’re SOL – I guess they are on autopilot sometimes... The announcer is pro muscle car for sure though.

Ted, the PC is a go on my spacers... I might show up Plenum spacer-less and see what happens... I'm definitely down after this week though! Possibly having Shawn tune with Osiris within the week - it will be interesting to see what gains over TS reflashes I have will be... it will also be interesting to see the diff without plenum spacer (it’s been a long time without).

 

This will also be my last run without something new and shiney under the hood

 

yes, I heard though a mutual source
Very nice! You must be grinnin' ear to ear!
