My car is stock , why would i go to the track ?? Besides i've been there already and claimed my victory. Ask charles how it feels to get beaten by an auto. It hurt him so bad he had to get boosted.

Okay then lets make it 5pm. Lets all grab something to eat also bkuz food is expensive at the track plus we can let traffic die down a little before we drive up there.

Just a heads up we hit a $1.50 toll on the way up there

How many runs do you think we will get in? How is the traction at that track compared to the street?

Traction is good and you can get as many runs in as there is time. If there is less people then the more runs. I usually make about 5 straight runs and then let the car cool for 20 mins and then go again. Your car will heat up FAST.

Schuller do you have stock clutch??

Still have the stock clutch. Still holds. How about the helmet rule, if I hit 13.9 or less will I have to rent one or do they not always enforce that rule.

Sometimes then enforce...thats if they remember.

Glad to see you stock clutch it still holding. As for mine, let just say i need to get a new one fast.

They do rent helmets there. Also dont forget the rules for those of you who have never been there.

NO SHORTS...MUST HAVE PANTS ON.
Fee to race is $28 i believe.
