    King of Street/True Street POSTPONED - will not be August 15

    Fresh off the PRP site. Man I hate the oil and chip crap. Rips the hell out of tires, and I've had friends get their windshields chipped. The October weather will be cooler too.

    ** King of Street / True Street POSTPONED!! **

    Due to Penndot's tar, oil, and chip dressing on the drive routes, PRP has had to make the difficult decision to postpone the King of Street and True Street race. Sticky DOT tires tossing up chips into paint and windshields, soft compound tires getting tread chewed off, are things to avoid. Dates in October are being looked at, and will be posted up as soon as it is confirmed. PRP management expresses their sincere regrets at the inconvenience, and appreciates your patience and understanding. Again - This race WILL be rescheduled!!

    Penndot can suck a dick!!! They drill a tunnel for 325 million dollers to allow low life asshiles from the gang infested northside to have an easy ride to the city rather than walking their lazy ass across a damn bridge. In simple terms thats about 2000 miles of paved roads we could have gotten. Thanks Pennsylvania. I love this state.

    Not that I had any interest in these races but I was under the impression that the drive route was 22 to 66 and back. Thats all concrete roads.

    Wick don't even get me going about that cluster of a tunnel project to no where.

    That reminds me, PA is also in the process of digging up rural roads and converting them
    back to gravel because we can't afford to repave or upkeep them.

    Meanwhile,
    the right keeps yelping, "no new taxes" on the wealthiest 2%!

    The city just spent 250,000$ on garbage cans last year.....but couldnt have enough equipment to clear the roads of snow and ice!!! BTW the top two percent pay 90% of all the taxes in the US i think they are doing they're part.

    Supercomp c4, some other things, hoping to run 10's...update 10.50@120 on 8 burned pistons...hoping to run 9's no cage in sight

    The wealthy 2% should be paying the same taxes they used to pay (during
    the "boom" of the 90s) nothing more, nothing less. Tax cuts for the wealthy
    have been a disaster for Federal and State budgets.

    I'll leave out who is to blame!

    Very nice, might be able to make it now, and October weather sounds WAY better than this for racing.
    Doing first shakedown testing with the auto at a rental Friday, hopefully see some 10s ;)
