Hey bro, there is no TNT this Saturday. Its the CMI Import Drags this weekend. But you can still take your car out there and race if you want, I think SmokinLX is going out there. Its $60 to race which is pretty high.

Details are on www.sacramentoraceway.com I would guess it will be swarming with bumble bee exhaust systems. You could go like stated above, but it would be the equivalent of a solo Harley owner showing up to a sport bike convention. It's supposed to rain in the morning anyway so who knows...

sweet, just got off the phone with them. They said a rwd domestic is fine...
they said expect 300+ cars, $60 admission, and to get 4-6 passes. I am planning on going. Tinner? smokinlx? Will I see you guys there?
accuweather.com shows we are good to go!

Luke, congrats on your improvements! I enjoyed driving around the slums of Richmond with you getting loose and showing off for bums standing outside the corner store.
Oh, and those videos are the finest known to man. Who shot them?

Was someone blowing leaves out of the staging area on that video??? That sounded like a Toro 3/4horse blower.

No, the left lane was showing mph numbers that were about 3mph slow. Hard to say how far off the right lane was, if at all. I expect that the car was really running 102-103 on Saturday night. I did not pay attention to the mph clocks since the track officials said they were malfunctioning and there was no use trying to analyze them. I just tried to pay attention to ET and 60ft.
My 8 passes were all within 0.158 seconds and mph ranged from 98.x-105.x mph. Obviously that window is just too large for the consistency that I displayed.

lol, thanks for shooting the vids Chris.
Ya, getting loose deep in the slums of Richmond on Sunday was a blast as well! Nothing better on a Sunday afternoon than burning them off on Richmond Parkway

I know...I thought they'd be open for sure.
I cleaned the car, filled the nitrous, hooked up the trailer and then called them just before loading the car up...SUCKS!!!!
