you will not get a much better deal than this, 20 bucks for a test-n-tune, run as much as you want for 6 hours.

Guys were getting 30+ runs in last year and still taking breaks in between, this would be a fantastic way to get some seat time in your car with those new mods on, or come out and do some test hits to tune your new setup

Sounds fun, I think I will try and attend this.

Too bad it's the same day as the UMTR opener at Quaker City ... I've been looking for a good reason to get back there after the last time we ran that place (With UMTR).

Quirky place, but I have never been treated better at a dragstrip ... great people there.

we're gonna try to figure something out for it... only roadblock looks like the different computers and figuring how to make it work for emissions, cause if i have an lsx in it, it surely will be see more than 5k miles a year.

I would consider your car on the border for that track personally Chad. I wouldn't run my car there, not that its ready anyway.
Now a standard 11-12s street car I think it would be fun, wish I had that sometimes

I'll be running my car there, bgblockelcamino will be running his, plenty of fast cars there, enough to beat some dyno queen mustangs

**SK360** · 05-23-2011, 02:17 PM

There were plenty of 1/8 mile hammers running the Flashlight drags there a couple of years back, some with wheels up. Don't be a *****.

**biminiLX** · 05-23-2011, 02:21 PM

This the track with the 2 strips and grass between in the shut-down right?
Cool track for street cars like I said, not going to run my LX there though.
