Thumbs up Big Changes at New England Dragway

In case you haven't been dropping by their site, New England is well along with physical plant changes that come with stepping up to NHRA sanctioning in 2011. The entire 1320 feet is now concrete.....see

http://newenglanddragway.com/home/in...all&Itemid=158

Walls are being raised, the doomsday area (sandpit) at the overrun is being made compliant with NHRA standards, Musco lighting is being extended, and pits are being paved and expanded. And, a Division 1 event will happen in June. Not sure if Lebanon Valley lost theirs as a result. The role of Tasca Ford in this is unclear...last I knew they were offering funds to help out. All good stuff for us!

2003 Mach 1 stock except for 4.30 gears (12.57 @ 109)

i think all of us should round up and head up to the new hampshire motor speedway...i have a brochure i got from the boston auto show, and it has on it that we can actually drive on the track...i think that would be cool

The older I get, the more I enjoy getting out to the track. We should hit NED early (April) and knock back a few firsts (break through a target ET, 1st time down track period, something for everybody). Then, target Tasca Mustang Showdown in August - a two-day event sure to only get better in 2011 - for all us V6s to show in force and compete.

My racing gang has started families and is going through their mid-30s racing lull, but are great guys with a very welcoming and enthusiastic attitude. So am I, and I look forward to meeting you guys and corrupting you into tossing furniture out of your cars, accepting my loan of mounted ET Streets, etc., to secure that 13 !

Sounds awesome man.

I would love to make it up when i can, no doubt about it. I want to learn as much as possible, such as the right way and not **** others off, so having you tag along would be awesome.

I'm def all for an April trip to the track!

if an intake+tune S197 with a freak driver can dip into the 12's, I'm sure your 300+rwhp light as hell compared to my car new edge will get there no problem.
