Island Dragway 10-12?

Temps are cooling, leaves are turning, cars are breathing better. Anyone going to Great Meadows T&T tomorrow night?

We are all heading up to Lebanon on Saturday. The tech is very strict at Island. I got the boot back in March of 2010. I'm not looking to get it again!!

Damn if it weren't 3-1/2 hours away. I'm living in the 12's but I do like seeing the big boys fly. Have to settle for hot dog Johnny's and island rd.

Who doesn't enjoy racing in a swamp!! Ill be down there soon enough. This is our last wknd at Lebanon. I'd choose Island if I wasn't going to get tossed on the first pass.

Watching your car run is like a rerun of your favorite TV show. While it's good it also gets boring seeing the same thing time after time.

Now me on the other hand has you at the edge of your seat. Is he gonna step all the way on the gas. Is he going to break the beams. It goes on and on

why u mad bro. If I follow the path that you've blazed I have at least another 100 passes to go before I need to worry about getting a 10. C'mon, you've set the bar really high with them 2 9s passes in 2.5 years. And lets not forget one was with an assist.
