Default Opening Day at the Grove

Opening day at "Da Grove" in Wisconsin was great, about 58 degrees and sunny. Several hundred cars including several S197 owners. One GT500 hitting 570 RWHP (saw the dyno sheet) pulling low 12's on drag radials, an 06 spraying a 75 shot on ET streets hitting 13 even fairly consistently. Here is my last two runs, first two were terrible, a 14.6 and a 13.6 but I'm pretty happy with the last two on stock perellis 17's. I'm number 88.

That sounds awsome. Nice times too. I will be there on Sunday the 13th for Ford Day. I am hoping for 10.99-11.20 on Sunday.
No rain. No rain. No rain

If I can convince the wife to skip out two weekends in a row, I'll be there.
