Ask Nelson and jeff, it should be in HD. Listen for loud pops and a chase down at the end. I did not to too bad considering I haven't ran down the track in over 8 years. reaction time was .448, 13.0 at 109 with full interior and subs. My weight came in at 3853 without driver, and half a tank.

Pretty good numbers for a stock car. I ran 12.8 at 110 last time i was there with limited brake boosting and i hadnt run in the 1/4 before with a little more boost and new bbk should hopefully improve on that time...

I think the drive, plus having only really about 5 high performance modded cars (Jeff's GS, Tom's IS, Chris' IS, and Matt and Daniel's IS-Fs) hurts our track meet attendance. I'm afraid some folks feel, "Why make the drive and watch everyone ELSE have all the fun?!" I can promise you it's fun, even if you're not modded and you're not running.
Plus, the more cars we get modded, the more folks will want to drive down there and test out their performance
Were you guys able to get only ONE run down the track because of your arrival time, or because it was SO crowded?

Several reasons really, COPS being one we each received license plate warnings, they knew the track opened that day, so highway patrol was every 5 miles or so. They were running drivers license, I think to see if warrants and the like. Then gave written warnings for plates not being on the front. When we arrived is was crwoded but not too bad. After we got in staging lanes, everything halted, I think a car blew up or something. Then when we got near the front the announcer said staging lanes closing in 5 minutes, this was at 3:45 or so. But yes we were only able to get 1 run, due to time arrival, and track closing early for some odd reason.

wow, only one run. I was afraid of that. The first day of the season usually brings everyone out of the woodworks itching for a run down the track after a winters downtime. Hopefully I can make it out there with you guys next time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdPo4YgjHKU Here. I don't know why the video is kinda corrupted. I think youtube doesn't accept my cameras video format. I need to re-encode it again later on. But for now it will have to do because I'm lazy lol.
