Not sure if the wife and I are going or not. Looks like the density altitude should be pretty decent (I'm guessing 2300 or better if the weather holds).

We have a couple of new things to try out on the R/T. It would be nice to get some new #'s prior to going to Tulsa Nov 3rd for the Mopar Point Series.

I got a new best of 15.25. That was with me hitting my top speed limiter.

It was so dang busy out there, we didn't see you out there. How many passes did you get to make? My wife only made two. Neither were very good since the track was so greasy. 12.14 @ 110 w/ a 1.70 60' and 12.20 @ 104 with a 1.62 60' (coming out of the groove). Had to let out on the second pass on the top end because she was sliding all over the place. Man, I can't wait to get to Tulsa in a couple of weeks.

I made 3 runs. All before 10 o'clock. Because it was so busy. I was the first to go after the hour and a half track burning in my lane.
I looked back after passing the lights and all i saw was white smoke. I thought I blew up but it was just from them burning the track.

There was definately a stupid amount of downtime this last weekend. The place was packed, looked like a Divisional Race was going on instead of test-n-tune. The spec. side was hammered several times with oil. Just our luck, that's the lane my wife ran both times.
