Nice. We are no where near test and tune time here. Supposed to be a very cold weekend. Some nice stepsides racing down there.
Is there a road at the end of the track? What happens when someone can't stop?

Booooo you guys and your shorts/t-shirts in January!!!! Our track doesn't open for 3 more months!

You guys have some quick cars/trucks down there, very nice! What blew up on the 3rd gen camaro?

Yes , thats West Mt. Houston rd. ! The shutdown is prety short . There is a snad trap followed by a catch net , then a cyclone fence a big ditch then the road . There have been about 3 or 4 cars cross the road .

Calling for cold weather this weekend . Our enemy is rain we are at sea level a little rain and we are saturated and water seeps through the track . Probable broke an input shaft or had nitrous backfire .

Man i was working that night , but most don't post times down here . The grudge sunday is a big deal . Really like a weekly thing with regulars and all . The little track HMP is a " outlaw/headsup " crowd , but the track is always prepped to the hilt . The big track HRP is more of a conservative atmosphere . More times posted there . I'll look into the times on the truck .
