Sounds like a plan.

Just got back from Countyline. After going to Moroso last month Countyline is disappointing. Half way down the track, I was still spinning or sliding ever so slightly. Just enough to be noticable. And this is an 1/8 mile track. Potentially scary. Also CL is at least .2-.3 seconds slower than Moroso.

My last race was against AMX jim and he was spinning out most of the entire race.

On a positive Ashley raced an RT hemi Challenger and a Hemi Charger and beat them both. She also beat a 70/71 stock (so he sez) Mustang Mach 1.

with my DR's with 24 lbs of air i was making S turns all the way down the track. I let off and then punch it again slipping from side to side ,spinning way too much for DR;s,, I did get a 8.1 and 8.2 runs in early,,

I run 15lbs in my dr's. Not sure you can do this with anything but a 16" because the lack of sidewall.

I normally run 16lbs in my DR's. My best times though was last month with 20lbs... Go figure... So I hope whoever went to this event posts up their times... Can't wait to see you guys for the first time on Jan. 17th!

Nice wheels. I went to Checkers auto supply and bought the slime brand air pump. It comes in handy airing the tires back up for the drive home.

Don't we have a little air compressor in the back of our cars? Or does everyone take them out to save a pound or two.

We sure do, I tried it once and it seemed like something I bought at the dollar store. The one I have airs up my tire from 15 to 32lbs in about 2 minutes each.
