If the track is prepped good it probly won't make much of a difference because of all the street tire vehicles. Making a few changes to my truck but if I do go I'll be sure to let you know! We will be throwing it down with the BBQ!

I agree. That is what is going to hurt the track.

Last time i was at the shootout i noticed they were grooming the track well but yes street tires are gonna rip it up.....and it was a couple years back 2010 i belive when it was just nuts in the pits with people doing stupid stuff, did they step up the cops and staff like they said they were going to in 2011? Looks like i might setup a date with Mad Man that weekend instead to get my suspension dialed in at Evadale... he wants me to put double adj on the back

How long do you normally have to wait to make a run at the HPT race? I basically hot-lapped as much as I wanted at SAR
