Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)

[niterydr]

In defense of RockFalls. They put down as much (or more) track prep as any other NHRA sanctioned track. The problem is the 300+ street tire cars that come and rip up the vht. (This includes the AWD guys with street tires). Some things I've talked to Jennifer about:
1)Slicks only lane. This would provide serious traction for those with slicks. The problem is that maybe 2% of the entire population uses slicks currently.
2)AWD/RWD and FWD lanes. This would be very hard to facilitate. The split still isn't near 50%.

I would say, if you need to see serious bite, go there on a test and tune day. I've seen some of "our" best 60' times at Rockfalls, including my 1.70x 60' (on a 3 bolt) many moons ago.

p.s. I'll still know wednesday/thursdayish if the stealth is going. If it does, expect 1 of 3 things.
1)We finished it Sunday morning and we are there to show the car and eat food.
2)We finished it Saturday morning and it has a rough tune. I'll probably make a few exibition passes.
3)We finished it friday night and it makes good power. I probably won't hook below 100mph. (This is still the goal!)

Either way, I hope we can meet 1 of the 3 above goals.

I can talk to Jennifer (track manager) about setting up a DSM shootout. The only problem would be the turnout required. I would like to see it as a big event. We could even turn it into an all Mitsu shootout.
