I was very upset b/c I left at 7:30 am and looked at the website b/f I left. When we get to the track no one is there and at 12 pm it is just us and 3 ricers. They open the gate and don't say anything to us so we go in the track and wait for them to prep the track. At 1:20 pm they are about 18 ricers, my brother in the firehawk and me, they go to the office and get told to go home no racing today. So I am pissed and go talk to the owner myself and make him a offer just to let me run 3 runs by myself. He says no the it would cost 1200 to open the track for tnt. We have a long talk and I have to show him that the track is safe and go back to the office and he calls all the other cars and tells them that it is 250 min. for him to open for 2 hrs. Only my brother and 6 ricers are going to pay so he wants 25 per car and I had to pay a little more to get it open. This suxs but I have driven 4 hrs and my brother has driven and hauled the firehawk about the same. I just wanted to race thats all.

Must have been something in the air cause Hub City in Hattiesburg did the same thing yesterday. There were a lot of upset fellas cause their recording said they would be open earlier in the morning then 12-1:00 they decided they wern't going to race because it was too cold.

btw.. congrats on the new times.

LMFAO.. you should have seen the look on the ricers' faces when he launched on the gas and the truck shot about 2 feet sideways while spinning all four tires for the first 10 or so feet

Thanks, I got to look at the video and it looks cool. The owner had no idea it was that fast but he said I was welcome to come back and try for 11s any time.

I have injectors on the way and will have the fuel pump by next week. I am going to add a 2nd n2o system with a small dry shot to help on the top end.
