MHDRA Medicine Hat?

Opening weekend at the MHDRA. It's the only NHRA track in Alberta.

I'm going out for the street legals on Friday night. Anyone coming down to compete, or even just for fun?

I'll be there. Might make a couple of passes on Friday night to set up my suspension, that could be a gong show.
Track officials are pretty sticky here so make sure you have whatever safety gear you need.

I was just told (by them) I need a helmet. There's no way I'll be fast enough to require a fire suit. I see you're in Redcliff. Is that your car I see near Lions Park?

Helmet, long pants and shoes with toes in them. Find me if you come and I'll hook you up with a decent tech. My pit is near the top of the staging lanes and my car will be there.

I know the car you're talking about but its not mine.

Ya, I'll definitely stop by. I'll be there with my car, Inferno Orange with black vinyl. And if I wear shorts, the drag strip isn't the only place that'll kick me out.

I haven't even looked at it yet, still mad at it. Not sure if its engine or intercooler anti freeze. Its dripping off the back end of the motor somewhere but until I can get it on a hoist I won't know where it originates from. I don't think its serious and I suppose I'm glad it did it here and not at the top end of the track at 140 mph. That would a been a ride.

I have space on the lift too, but I'm a professional rum drinker, so yours is probably a better deal
