I'll be there on the 15th to get a few runs in, and to find out how much 25 years away from drags has hurt my "style". lol

If it didn't ruin me altogether, I will be back every Sunday for that Summit points thing.

Nice! Nothing like getting back in the habit of racing

LVD opens up this Saturday, anyone going to race? *cough*Tim*cough*

Dirt track opens on Saturday night too! I'll be there with my camera - just trying to figure out what I can do to keep the lense clean! Should be a great weekend for racing!!

A good ol' spit shine usually works

Not in turn 4 on a dirt oval - wind up scratching the lense! Gotta get some covers. Come on, Shiney, you know me better than that!

This is my favorite time of year!!!!!!

Nice Todd! Practice makes perfect man, what did you run last year?

 

[JimInNY]

I was going to go on Sunday, but the weather is not looking too promising. If it rains, I'll be going the following Saturday and Sunday.

Did anyone wind up with that on video ? I remember the one video caught the 1st spin and you were wondering if anyone got yours.


I'll be going again this season. Just not this weekend.

I'll probably be driving out saturday 14th, I won't be racing but I should have the cobra.

It's a looong season, you will get out there and make some good passes I am sure

Any update of your track day? Did weather hold out and how did you do?..
Share some videos if you got any..

 

[JimInNY]

I was there all day today. I think I had the only coyote 5.0 there. She ran great, I was very rusty but got it worked out as the day rolled along.

Best time was 13.03, worst was 13.15, a couple of 13.06s and a 13.08. Best MPH 109.

Oh I didn't count the 20.whatever on street tires, spun halfway down the track. Switched right over to MT ET drag Radials.

 

[ford20]

What were your 60' times?

Your trap speed suggests you should be able to get mid 12s soon enough.

 

[JimInNY]

What were your 60' times?

Your trap speed suggests you should be able to get mid 12s soon enough.

I'll give you the full rundown:

1st Run: 13.08 @106.23 MPH 1.997 60ft
2nd Run: 13.15 @102.58 MPH 2.041 60ft
3rd Run: 13.06 @109.68 MPH 1.981 60ft
4th Run: 13.03 @106.52 MPH 1.991 60ft
5th Run: 13,05 @107.84 MPH 1.990 60ft

Here's sloppy video of 1st run. I had TC off while on staging line, but shut car off while they cleaned off a mess. Forgot to turn it back off after starting up again, which explains weird burnout sequence. lmao

When does yours open? Erie isn't much different than here, climatically speaking, I don't think, is it?

The car was a bone stock 2012 GT 5.0 auto, with 265-40-18 Mickey Thompson ET Radials on it.
