Again, check the PRP site or phone. I left Avonmore, about 15 minutes from the track, and it was still spitting a little rain, and everything was wet. Even if tomorrow ends up dry, the pits may be too wet. Hopefully at least 1 day will work out this weekend. I'm jonesin' bad!

Fresh off the website

April 4 - Rained Out
Due to current track conditions, the track will not be open today. The amount of rain all day yesterday and lack of warmth, the ground is very soggy and will turn to mud when anyone gets on it, bringing mud to the track area.

We plan to open tomorrow, Sunday, April 5th. Please check back on here or call the track tomorrow morning for updates!

I'm hoping for tomorrow

**CobraII** · 04-04-2009, 11:08 AM

Not a doubt in my mind it's the right call for today. A green, cold track, high winds, wet pits, would not be conducive to good traction or arrow straight runs. I hope it works for tomorrow, even though I won't be there til the last part, if at all.

Bob, LOVE your sig now!!! LMAO!

Sunday was lookin like the better of the two days anyway. I will be goin with my dad and my uncle for sure if its a go. I've been jonesin too, lol! Need to here some horsepower runnin and the sweet smell of Race Gas and Alcohol, like right now or yesterday, haha!

**CobraII** · 04-04-2009, 04:36 PM

It's on for tomorrow. The sun and wind are helping dry things out, and as long as there's no more rain, light 'em up!!

I cant' wait. Not running myself, but will bring my video camera for anyone interested.

**AdamantiumSilvr** · 04-04-2009, 05:35 PM

...either, I gotta get my full exhaust put on first. I'll look for the man with the camera thou, and fellow Stangers. It'd be nice to me up with some fellow SCS members.

HAHAH Thanks. When that thing broke loose in the top of third last year, that was an eye opener. Good tires will have to be a must now with the added power.

**Balaska347** · 04-05-2009, 08:39 AM

I'll see everyone up there. I should be at the gate around 11:30

**Martin0660** · 04-05-2009, 06:14 PM

Just got home, what a great day. Got my fix of burnt rubber and race gas, got my motivation up to get my junk running too. Nothing better than being at the track after a long winter :D

**phillysrt4** · 04-05-2009, 06:44 PM

Curious... how many runs did you get in?

**Martin0660** · 04-05-2009, 06:52 PM

I didnt get any in as my car is still in the garage :D They had two when I left, If everyone got three I would be suprised. It's not about the number of runs this time of year, guys where shaking things down and breakdowns are expected. It was great to be in the sun, see guys you only see at the track. smell the rubber, race gas, and vibrations. Makes me feel alive again :D

**Ares** · 04-05-2009, 08:54 PM

Everyone got 3 runs. Was an oil down I think the 8th pair out from start. That was an hour cleanup as they had to clean entire track thru shutdown. Few other smaller oil downs.

My car ran ok. Ended up warmer then it was suppose to be today.

1st pass
60' - 1.651
330' - 5.164
1/8 - 8.077
MPH - 82.43
1000' - 10.581
1/4 - 12.685
MPH - 107.45
Base timing at stock 10*, launch 5500, shift 5800, 12psi slicks, 41psi fronts, struts at #3, shocks both at #3

2nd pass
60' - 1.661
330' - 5.139
1/8 - 8.032
MPH - 86.37 New best
1000' - 10.514
1/4 - 12.594
MPH - 110.59 New Best
Bumped base timing up to 15*, Launch 5700, shift 5800, struts at #3, shocks #3D/#5P, 13psi slicks, 45psi fronts.

Car has turned 112mph before but it was in 40* temps and a 25mph tail wind. So with no wind today it's showing its making more power. As it responded nicely to the timing bump. If I ever get my tune it should run much better.

My 3rd pass was wasted as 2-3 shift didn't go smooth and I wasted over a tenth at 330'. Even then it still pulled hard at top end and nearly ran 109mph on a crappy 12.92et
