Default What's it like?

Seems like it would be a zoo, how long do you wait to run? Is it only one run? It would be kinda fun to just have a baseline number.

The only way I could get a fast start I've found is to rev up and slide the clutch. Is there a less distructive way to get a fast start? I've stopped doing drag starts after the clutch slipped on the last one... but I'm sure it has one more in it! ;-)

Default Gates open at 4:00 runs start at 4:30.....

The last time I got up there at 7:00 and would have gotten at least 2 runs but it started raining. From 4:30 to 6:30 you could get a run in every 15-25 min. after 6:30 your looking at about 45 min. it does allow your car to cool down between runs and check out the other cars out there. Let me know if your going I look for you.

Default I may try and make it

My car has been surging really bad lately and I want to make sure I don't have any leaks. I'm going to build one of those leak testers when I get home and check it out tonight. If not, I'll definitly try and make the next one!

I might be there, but it looks like some nasty weather is rolling in.

Default Well, I was there but it was closed

I guess for the weather, but the roads were dry! There were a bunch of cars so I hung out with them for a while hoping they would open, but no go.

The S4 tested out OK for pressure and I swapped in a lower temp switch for the aftercool system while I was in there. I'll have to shoot for the next one.

Default They kicked me out at 4:30...

after they had worked on drying the track for half an hour and it started raining again. I went home and it turned into a beautiful afternoon. If you don't like the weather wait 15min. Oh well I get in free next Wednesday.
