Looked pretty good to me! I used to go to Atco on Friday night in high school and in the summer when home from college.

I grew up about 25-30 mins from there.

Hope there are more vids to follow!

Well, ive shreded a brand new belt, 3rd gear is all but gone and will not power shift anymore, and the car is just now starting to hook on the new tires. If the weather holds off tomorrow we are going to need a miracle to go rounds. The heat and humidity are terrible and the car is sluggish.

Below is the info on the best pass so far.

Nice Lou, good luck!!

**Ratt Fink** · 05-17-2009, 12:47 AM

Still good to see the Beast on the track... looks like Lou can still hit a light pretty well, too.

Dude, only 82% humidity, and a hot 70 F ?!! Barometric pressure over 30 ?! Sounds like great weather to me !! LOL !

Can't wait to see some more runs.

Not sure if they finished or not. It rained all night and morning so we packed up and pulled out at 11. Wasn't really worth staying with the tranny issues and all...

Bummer...

That happened last year at Atco, different month too. We got a raincheck out of it, wonder what they're gonna do about this one if that's the case? People where complaining about there being no alternative plan.

Rain sucks but it happens. What pissed me off was they made everyone pit right next to each other. If you didn't get your tow vehicle out right away you were stuck till the end. This also left no room to setup and spread out a little and we had to park our tow/pit vehicle out in the parking lot every day. This is the first and last time I will go to Atco.
