Re: What does it take to run a 10? 500whp@DB, practice, or both? Neither?
Track condition and weather is a big one, its a bit of luck for sure. If it's not a test and tune day at Rock Falls, I can never seem to 60' out there due to lack of track prep.
Cedar Falls always seems good but its a longer drive and the last few times I went it was busy as fuck (porkies shootout) or my stock clutch was having none of it.
BIR is decent but there are very few days. I went to one Wednesday night street drag and everyone only got two runs in before they shut it down, it was late summer and it was literally two hours of racing and a ton of cars. We all met on the track and they drew our names out of a bucket to see who one the prizes, I took third and got a $35 sunbeam tach that only went to 7,000 rpms. LOL
Grove Creek is cheap and fun, 1/8th mile is not as boring as you would think. Its good experience, everything that matters pretty much happens in the first 330' anyway. Its fun driving out there for Friday night races and racing the country folk and beat their piece of shit cars.
