    Saw you driving around this weekend. I forget which day because I had 7 hours of sleep total over the weekend, the days ran together. But anyway, I may try to go to this.

    Wasn't me. The car's been sitting all weekend.

    Cheaper and more fun than the FLD

    Is that also a 1/4 mile track?

    I might show up in the GT500... Hopefully I'll get on some DR's by then

    It is an 1/8. The track has very low prep if any. The surface is like running down a old country road with many bumps.

    You can pretty much do whatever you want there. There's no tech at all. I've gone down the track with 6 people in a Nissan Titan with the windows down and not enough seat belts for everyone.

    Dont expect too much, its the worst track I've ever been to. The timing system is always screwing up, all you get is 60' and 1/8 et, no mph. But I still go there every now and then when I'm bored.

    I agree. It is a bad track...

    Good point are:
    Only $15 to race. Less than Flashlight drags.
    You get as many passes as you want. I think I got like 16 last time I was there.
