Default My misery!!!

This whole day was looking good for the track as far as weather is concerned. So I get the car ready and washed. Changed the wheels for the DR's and just as I got done with the wheel swap I troll outside the garage and look up and to my left. I see nothing but gray coming are way. I then checked online and sure enough track closed for tonight. Just when I thought Mother Nature was gonna let me have some fun she rears her ugly face. This has been ongoing issue dating back last summer where I was only able to go once.

However that is gonna change as they have a Friday night rage at the oreilly raceway park. Im going to enter in the muscle street division. Should be fun. Anyway here is a pick of my car.

I fell ya man, I had a similar incident last summer. Myself and a buddy were cruising to the track, it's about an hour and 15 from our houses. We got about 10 minutes away and it started to down pour. A friend of our was already at the track, and he called us to say they closed up for the night. So we had to turn around and drive about an hour home...at least you didn't leave your house lol.

450 to the wheels. The gears and the torque convertor take away some but I think I have an 11 second car when ever weather will allow me to get to the track. So that I may one day find out.

Midwest man... you should know anything at 20% chance or above means its going to rain. Wish I was a weather man... no matter what I did, as long as I said at least 20% chance of rain, I would be right and get a raise.

Oh I know that the weather can switch in a matter of minutes. Its been frustrating. Even more so bc I travel for work and im gone for about 2/3 of the year. So when I see some sun all day I get excited but only to be let down yet again. Thanks for the kind words about my car guys
