Sound like fun. Wish I had my car ready.

[Matts94Z28]

You cant make your yearly track appearance so early. :poke:

It's debatable!

I have the itch to watch some racing.

[TurboWS6]

Ill probably show just wont run yet as the car probably wont be tuned or caged yet. but soon though I just got most of the fuel system stuff in still waiting for a few Y blocks and the filter, they were on back order but have already been shipped. So hopefully they will show and I can get at it.

You can run your 66, or is it broke too.

[schardbody]

shutting down at 9? why so early?

Nothing is broken. Just not ready. Damn paint shop is busy.

[LDELEE]

@ schardbody, if the weather is favorable and the turnout warrants us staying open longer we will. It's basically due to the weather(temperature)still being so unpredictable.

[schardbody]

good deal, i prefer to come out later in the evenings, as do most people i know and go with.

i'll spread the word.

[Chillerman]

Blame it on the paint shop yeah, yeah, yeah. You know you don't want none of the blue car!:poke:

Quick question. Are yal going to be enforcing the safety stuff this year? I know towards the end of the year, it was mentioned to get some of the faster cars caged up, jackets, etc..and a helmet rule for everyone..Just wondering.

[LDELEE]

Yes, we will definitely heighten our safety measures going forward. I'm glad to see some guys have already installed roll cages or in the process of having them installed in thier cars. Honestly, it is one of the best investments a racer can make. When it comes to helmets, jackets and gloves, we will enforce the rules that IHRA mandate. Safety will be our main priority!!

[slowgreen99]

good to hear

[bababuschka]

When do we need a cage to be able to run? 7.0 or faster?

[slowgreen99]

7.49 is a 6 point I believe, but I was referring to the 5 second cars with no bars at all, wearing flip flops, a t shirt, and a bicycle helmet.

can you touch on the rules or post a link of the ones you want to enforce please

[LXtasy]

Actually I think the rollcage requirements have changed this year. Made the times a hair faster because of several factory cars running the times they do. I read it on either the bullet or another board. Supposedly 10.99 in the quarter is when it is required now not 11.49 that it was in the past. I could be mistaken

[Kenny Mcdonald]

Why not just say 1iron.:Finger2:

Because you don't run in the 5's.:hysterical:

[1iron]

I'm still waiting on that motor to motor race that you wanted. I not only run in the 5's but all the way through them!

[chrisheltra]

Im heading up.

[Red99T/A]

If i can get the last few things bolted back onto my car and it doesn't leak and actually works (fingers crossed) I was planning on heading out.

[schardbody]

had fun watching tonight, needed more heat in the track to get it to work. the crew working the line was doing a good job getting things going when someone was leaking though!

[chrisheltra]

I had a good time but couldnt hook to save my life.

[LadyInRed]

Had a good time watching out there tonight :)

[98nbmz]

^^Indeed glad its back up and running! They ended up having a little grudge race also.

[MARTYROBBINS]

I had a good time but couldnt hook to save my life.

It hooked pretty good on that last pass.

[schardbody]

Must have been after I left.

[slowgreen99]

yea, it was a new camaro and a srt8 jeep

[TurboWS6]

That jeep belongs to my boy Zack Terrell, got a blower tune and exhuast. He hurt the transmission on that pass. The 60 was its all time best but it ran .5 seconds slower than its average and its slipping now, so he's going to have it rebuilt and put a stall in that thing.

[TurboWS6]

Did any one see the newer stock malibu rape the green 5.0 fox out there, car needs a serious driver mod.
