we have a lot of wonderful ladies on the track. They all know how to have fun and enjoy the car, tell her to come on and join in the fun. My wife runs the track too. (and she crushes me, but don't tell her I said that).

Every year for my birthday I say don't want anything. This year asked for the trip to the Fest. Birthday is the week following Camaro Fest but close enough.

You think Al will be at Camaro Fest this year given his re-location in the company?

Yes and even the 17" Dragstar wheels will touch the brake disc if you hotlap on a stock setup. So with a mostly stock ZL1 it would run V8 Supermod on a pro tree? And it would be worth running just to get some runs in?

Why? Line up in the lane you want to be staged in I don't see the issue here as I would during street nights at tracks we run all weekend sure one side may get used a little more during solo runs but I don't think in that heat and that track prep it's an issue unless CF8 was worst then CF7.

Since there are always quit a few new people wanting to run the drag strip for the first time, it is always very helpful to have a couple people AT the staging lanes to answer questions (walking around). Sometimes you miss those announcements, or what we may be waiting on, or what lanes we need to be in... basic questions that someone in that area could assist with.
I know that is not easy, as everyone helping is volunteering and there is a lot going on. But that would be a huge help for those really not sure how the staging works, or where they need to be at. Hearing an announcement that "All Modified cars need to be in staging Lane 4" is great.... now where is that? lol I try to help as much as I can, but when you are in your car running and having fun, you miss a lot of announcements Last edited by hrpiii; 05-06-2019 at 02:25 PM. |
