Good luck, I can see it now 2-4 hours in line for tech and only get 1 pass in all freakin day. Been there done that totally not worth it. To many 16 second imports show up to that track #@$%!. If you go please kick some import ***** for us.

Gotta tell you Jake you were right, tech inspection was a joke and it was real crowded, I only did one pass 'cause I didn't want to wait 2-3 hrs to do another. I met a few other Dodge owners, one from TDR, one from VD and another guy who isn't on any forums at the moment. I even got to race SRT10Kllr from VD in his Chevy gasser which we didn't know was going to happen till the last second 'cause he was in group 3 and I was in 4.

I did a 13. 706 @ 99. 00 to his 14. 26 @ 92. 99. I don't know if Jimmy knew to go on the last yellow 'cause I killed him at the lights too . 144 to . 817. In the 1/8 I did 8. 769 @ 80. 13.

I was hoping to be able to test and tune but that wasn't going to happen today so I just took a stab at my settings and went for it. I would love to whittle down my ET but it hasn't been going good for me, it's like the last $3,000 I spent hasn't gotten me anywhere and I'm actually a hair behind my PRs. But still a fun day and lots of cool cars to check out and a couple hoop-ds too.

I think if anybody has got to get a run in for any reason it makes more sense to get there around noon so you don't have to wait for tech and you could probably still get two runs in 'cause the early birds are probably going to leave after one or two runs. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Good run man, I would be extremely happy with those times. Stupid question whats VD . Next time you get the racing bug we should go to Irwindale to race, its only 1/8 mile but you can get a ton of runs in usually.
