Arrow I *THINK* You've been asked this before, but...

... Will at least ONE lane be prepped for soft DOT and Slick tired cars? I want to do some serious testing but I need traction to get accurate data. By the way, I am a slick tired car, my car doesn't peel the rubber from the starting line like TRUE street tires do!

I see this as an opportunity to get MORE than the TWO time trials I get at Milan on race day. HARD to work a new combo out with so few of runs. BUT... It is a waste of time if 'NO' track prep is done as car will spin well into 2nd gear even with 10" Hoosiers.

TIA,
HInk

I'll be there along with some out of state family members that are in town for my graduation party :-). Let's see if I can impress them w/ an 11-second slip.

Yeah... I am hoping to hit low 14's with a strong tailwind.

Maybe if we tie my car to yours I can get another 12 second slip.

I guarantee if we race my streets to you on dr's that you would anihilate me :-). Wait til you get your heads done though, then you'll be a force to reckon with.

Anyone think I can cut a 1.7x 60ft on 245/50 16" nitto dr's? If I can, then I'm pretty sure I'll see 11's on Thursday. If not, I at least want a 115+ trap. Sure that isn't a lot for some of you guys, but for a poor kid just outta high school on a budget it sure is a lot of fun :-).

I might be down there in my '02 if the heads/cam/nitrous install is done on the 1994. I'll be in Michigan that whole week! I just hope the '02 can handle a few more 5K rpm clutch drops on the stock clutch and 10 bolt rear without grenading.

Edit: Doh! I just reread the date. For some reason I was thinking this was next Thursday. I guess that's what I get for thinking! No way I can make it this Thursday. I don't get home until Friday night.

Does my rollbar have to be certified to run in this? If so, will there be anyone there to do it?
