cool i was just wondering. i dont think we will be racing. we have raced for a while and want to actually watch some cars and trucks go fast. it should be fun. too many times i have been waiting in line and heard about that launch or run. we will be in a red 03 GMC 2500, dont be shy at all. my name is john and we will have a travel trailor there.

I'll be there. I run low 15's with an ext. cab 1500, I added a throttle body spacer and I think it slowed me some,a 15.5 is my target index.Look forward to meeting several of you guys there.Jim

I'll be ther, but probably just spectating. There is no point in running for me. Once you have seen one 16 second truck, you have seen them all. The truth is, I didn't have time to set it up for the race.
-I've had one day off in the last 15 days working 12 hour shifts.
-My window with the cam change passed because of the crank bolt.
- I didn't get the n20 back on line and even if I di it friday morning, there would be no test time.
-my friend that was supposed to trailer me (don't trust the tranny) bailed on me last week also.

So, I'm just gonna drive out and watch and meet some of you guys I haven't met yet. Look for my truck and come introduce yourself.

What I look like I'm the one on the left

i'll be there but will jsut be watching. my truck will be there and i'll prolly be in the back of it or near it most of the day.

BigKID had a great idea of writing our screennames on our vehicles so people will know who we are. i'll do that friday nite when i go out to race and leave it on for saturday.
