about 1/3 of the way down, #1151. This is my first national event in super comp, will only be my 3rd time ever racing in the class, but I won it on my 2nd time so we'll see how it goes :D

Congrats... Not sure if I like the comp bracket. Its all electronics. cars launch slow and 1/2 way down the track they kick-in all most the reaction times are near perfect and run in on the dial ins.

yeah, its not much fun to watch, but it is a lot of fun to race. its a different type of bracket race when you're given a number to run instead of dialing what the car wants to run. plus, the new national event pro tree is my thing, i love it. for those that dont know, there is now LED compensation in a national event pro tree, so a perfect light is now a .370 instead of a .400 to prevent a lot of red lights in the upper brackets.

As long as my family remains at 2 members and not 3 I could make it out there on Thursday or Friday.

Good Luck!

Pit passes are part of any NHRA ticket

MG is easy to get too, not too far off the PA TP. If you like sportman racing then you want to be there on Thursday (Hardocre Thursday) as there is always something going down the track t only cost $10 to get in! Fridays are also a good day as the pros are out and Friday night qualifing is a great show with the topfuel and funny cars shooting flames out the pipes.

Race Specialties is the make. It won't fit in the space allotted so it probably automatically converted it to asterisks
