The track was pure garbage. They didn't prep it at all. Not only that...a 1967 Camaro barrel rolled on the wall and was shot over the wall. The first time out in my car four weeks ago, the car went bullet straight for four consistent 9.50/9.60 passes with 1.36-1.39 sixty foots.<br /><br />This time out, a total of six passes, and I had to abort every single pass before half track. My sixt foots were in the 1.4s all night and the ass end was getting loose all over the place. On my second to last pass the ass end kicked out hard to the left on my first to second shift. I aborted the pass. Out of pure anger, on my next pass, I decided to drive out of the ass end kick out to see if I could straighten it out. I went a lil longer into it and it whipped the ass end around the other way so I had to abort the pass.<br /><br />I'm a big fan of Sac Raceway, however this was the worst prep (or lack thereof) that I have ever seen. Only two fast cars were able to get down the track the whole night, both big tire cars. Other than that, a handful of 13 seconds cars had no issues.<br /><br />Ok, enough ranting... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>jayl</b> <br /><small>Member # 185</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,4,7,12,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> just curious, you hopin for some mid 1.20's on the jug??

The ultimate goal is to run 8.50s all day long on the jug.
