Count me in!!
Here is a link to their site - no real info just yet.

It is pay as you go, $25 per session. You just need to know how many sessions you want to run, you pay at the gate as you enter.

now that's going to be interesting to watch! Can't wait to see you skating 700ft lbs. around the track.

Nothing would make me happier than for you to be here and to be out on the track with us but if not then send Jennie!

Lol!! Trust me... I will have it turned WAY down from how it is set up for the drag strip. The other day I loaded the low timing tune and swapped to the low boost pulley (3.00" diameter/15psi compared to 2.38" diameter/22psi). Purely a guess, but feels like it cut at least 100-150 ft/lbs.... probably down about 100hp too. I figure it will be MUCH more forgiving going around corners.

Thanks Alan. When you guys went before how long did the sessions usually last and was it an all day thing??

The sessions lasted about 20-25 minutes the last time. Yes, you could spend all day there but it's up to you how many sessions you want to run.
