Looking to go and watch Carltalon if he is still planning on going.
A few of my friends are hopefully going to get their shit ready this week and will be running.

Carl and I were talking about posting this up.

Weather looks to be great fri,sat and sunday.

Who's in?

I was planning on it, but since the car is down I wont be able to make it.

I'm going for shure. I need all the practice I can get before Proving Grounds. I guess the track was compleatly redone a few years back with concreate launching pad and all the works so it should be alot better then it used to be. I'll be bringing my pop-up canapy and small Charcoal grill.

Come on, you can't use the same excuse two months in a row. Drop the air pressure and go.

I'm going to swap the turbos between my cars, Holset to the 2G, 16G to the 1G. I'll probably race my 2G again this time, and save the 1G for next time. I really want to break 100MPH in the 1/8.

1/8th is good for practicing your technique.

75% of drag racing is that 1st 1/8th mile.

[GG_9_SE]

This is from there website. for anyone who remembers the drags always being at night they have switched it up some this year. It was the same times last month also.

The only difference in the 1/4 as opposed to the 8th is a shit into 4th, and keeping it pegged and revving it out. All the "difficult" parts are in the first 1/8th mile. You have to get faster at the 1/8th before you can get faster in the 1/4.

I wish I could go. I will be going this year, at least once. Hopefully twice.

[t-revzr]

It's not for me... I like hittin 4th gear and more speed.

More practice = More speed.

You can go fast on a freeway, you can get good at running a strip at an 1/8th mile. (or 1/4.)

[asshanson]

I'm thinking of going with the V... we shall see.

[turbotalon1g]

Cool, maybe we can get a caravan going. I have never been and will be going thru brooklyn park 610/252 area to get my friends.

If i don't drive my car GG you can use my wheels I am waiting to see how the rest of the week works out.

[mdost03]

Also remember, more speed equals more braking that needs to be done. 1/4 mile puts more wear on them than an 1/8 mile. 1/8 mile is good practice for sure.

^I've been wanting to meet with you.
