I will be there on Sundays also.
Opening day wasn't to bad. The track hucked on the right lane but no 60' times, the timer was broken. It was working on the left lane but I always spun.

Last year It was 10 for spectator, 15 to race wasn't it?

Black_Bullitt

03-03-2009, 09:57 AM

what?? I thought it used to be $10 to get in whether you raced or not?

hopefully the extra money makes its way into track maint/prep...

Did they ever re-pave the return lane?

CaballoBlanco

03-03-2009, 03:25 PM

Yea they finally did, that bitch was rough.

SeeingRed

03-03-2009, 05:25 PM

I used to hate going to that track just because the return lane was so fuckin sketchy.

Tracks make me uncomfortable. As dumb as that sounds.

Tracks make me uncomfortable. As dumb as that sounds.I'm in the same boat. I can literally count on my fingers the times I've ran on a track... Admittedly, there's a ton I don't know about racing in general and when I'm on a track I just feel like everyone is waiting to pick apart the things I do wrong, lol.

I don't mind going to watch though. The best time I've had on a track was in Nashville when I got to shoot pictures from the starting line! It was a blast being that close to the cars as they launched!

the 1st run always makes me nervous. after that I can stay pretty consistent if im not breaking something or blowing something up.

SeeingRed

Launching makes me nervous just for the simple fact that I grenaded the rear end on my '94 Cobra while launching off of a trans-brake.
