if I get rained out tonight, I might go this weekend.

Do they have T&T on fridays anymore? I thought it was switched to wednesdays only...

Hell, I might have to drive to Stanton or Milan instead. Dammit I wanna race and this Michigan weather is not helping...rains every damn time

It's on both; Wednesdays and Fridays... barring special events when they might have closed practice. I won't be going tonight.

I'll probly be heading out this friday(20th). Need do work on my 60ft times. Was at Milan tuesday and the best I could do was a 2.3. Tires spin almost any rpm in 1st, alot in 2nd and 3rd when I shift(if I don't let up on the gas). Street tires, 4:10's and lowered without relocation brackets installed yet. Traction is hard to come by.

Can't forget driver error, any tips?

The NMCA deal starts on the 28th. I seem to recall they had regular T&T last year, and it wasn't really any busier than any other Friday at Martin.

What tires ar you running? I had the same problem with mine last time, but I have an A4. Spinning through most for first then fishtailing again at each shift. I was on Goodyear GSC tires. Found out they actually hook pretty good once you punish them in the burnout box.

Looks like I will be thee this time guys. I didn't go Wednesday because it sounded like everyone was backing out and the weather looked awful iffy. I didn't want to get there and be rained out, or not be rained out and have noone I know there to give me a lift if something broke. Turned out that a couple of you went afterall. Bastages.

I got the tires on, the helmet in the car, and the change of clothes in my duffle bag. I'll be there!
