Coming up quick. Cheap to race and spectate!!! Weather is looking good, gonna be a decent turnout for sure!

[curt_gendron]

What is a wild guess on how many cars you'll think will be drag racing? How many imports? How many domestics? Just curious.

[maperformance]

Wish we had some insight to answer this for you. I have seen a good response on both import and domestic forums. I expect a pretty even turnout, looking at the weekends weather I suspect it will be a good turnout. But it's our first time with this event so I don't expect it to be crazy busy either.

3 days out! Better get your cars together, some sick competition will be there!

Racing starts in a couple hours. Anyone from this board going to represent?

Well I didn't get a good clean run in on my new setup.. this was also my first time launching my car with the new setup aswell. My best time was 12.4 at 116.... not too happy with it but it will do for my first time. 1.7 60' and I broke an axle so I'm on my way home.

[95talonracer]

which axle?

Red 2g on a trailer behind a red pickup truck? If so, saw you on 610 getting on to 35w north. Late this afternoon.

Ya the 60' was what I liked but I can't for the life of me find an axle "YET" if it comes down to I can't get one then I think I'm going to order 2 rears from DSMgraveyard that are good for 800hp.. there like 229 a peice so lets hope I can find one that can get my car back on ther road.

Is it FWD? Cause if it's AWD, a 1.7 isn't that terrible of a 60ft at all...? I'd think you were takin a nap between shifts with a 116 mph trap?

[GsXtUrBo98]

AWD but I need to work on my shifting and maybe next time turn on NLTS before I break..

Not bad with the heat and humidity. I wouldn't be too upset about the times you ran.

[PSI2HI]

You're a dick. But at least you are honest.
