Nice vid man. You did good against that EVO. It looked like you were pulling on him about half way down the track. What the hell was up with that Maruader?

Just curious, what are they charging to runat your track, also to get in?

He was definetly pretty quick for what it was. Similiar engine as ours (or the same?)

The track here in Fayettville charges $10 to get in and $10 to run. By the time I pay for gas to make the hour trip each way, I've got $50 spent. Before gas shot up, I was there every Sunday.

It takes me 40 min to get to Huntsville (1/8), 90 min to Steele (1/4), or 3 hours to Montgomery (1/4 Open All Winter!).
I might have went to Huntsville if I knew you were all going. I went to Steele instead.
I was hitting the knock sensor (2nd time ever this has happened).

Best Time:
1.92
8.415 @ 84.26
13.045 @ 105.84
With 2 degrees of timing pulled.

Well Its a 1/4 mi track and its nice and wide. Left lane is usually a bit slick (not enough guys will run it).
Usually a 1.99-2.10 lane for me. Right lane is usually a 1.89-1.99 lane depending on whats been down it before you.
Several fast cars bring it around. The trick is figuring out what it will hold before you overpower it.
Its $10 to get in and $10 to run (covers VHT application) on Sunday TNT. Noon to Dark. Gates open at 11:00AM.
They run a Friday Midnight Madness ((9PM to 1AM) which is still just $10 Total I believe but no track prep.
They are closed next Sunday for Easter and will be running the normal TNT on Saturday instead.

If this really is Huntsville's last year I better get out their at least once. I have 1000's of passes their.
Cant let her go without saying good by.
