Hey, who's going? I only want to go because I think Richie said he would be.

Richard? Wes?

Anyhow, I am dragging Kathy & my father in law.

I was about to head out but I have a full tank. Not sure if it's still worth going.

I have found that after I broke into the 12's, I went down with 1/2, 1/4, and full and never noticed any difference. I suspect because all factors played in on always being +/- a tenth. Humidity, temp, track surface.... Tires.... (I was swapping my 92's back and forth with my stickier tires.

You should go.

Traxx=going to the drag strip.

The amount of fuel in your tank doesn't make any difference!

Good point ! Us mere mortals on the other hand need to remove all passenger seats and run stock wheel's and tires to run respectable times

Crappy.

The highlight (actually lowlights) of the evening were watching Cedric's Supra lose traction and smash into the guardrail all the way from tower to spectator lane. If you go down to AutoX today, you'll be able to see how bad the guardrail is pushed in.

Also, one of those 150mph+ dragbikes lost control and wrecked after the finish line.

Ambulance came twice last night, but fortunately, I believe both drivers were pretty much no worse for wear. I heard the biker broke his thumb.

Sorry I didn't make it out there guys. I'm needed to throw some poison down the hatch to lubricate the brain to help me deal with some issues and so we ended up rolling out to Kiki's, Reign, and then Pipeline (Sean was right, the new pipeline is NICE!)...

I heard that the weather at the track was terrible for makin' power/running quick... Sorry to hear about Cedric's Supra. Don't know any details (other than what Wes told me) but it seems like that car is just making too much power for the type of traction he can muster. Scary stuff.
