Etown Wednesday (3/9)?
Anyone interested in watching me embarrass myself in the Hellcat this Wednesday? Or perhaps run your car as well?
I'm going to see how terrible this car is to launch with the stock summer tires but it should be fun letting it loose on a closed course.
Who's in?

I've read that and also seen folks still start in 1st. I think the first time out I will give it a shot in 1st and if that doesn't seem effective, I will try launching in 2nd. Good or bad, results will be posted.

If I run 18's, I better be going backwards or have had a catastrophic failure.

Hoping to be there around 5:30 but may be around 6 depending on work/traffic.

I wouldn't say I plan on racing it often. I'm sure after this trip, a set of DRs and a driveshaft will be on order in short order.

Apparently you haven't seen how terribly I drive my Firebird? 
I'm not too concerned but would like to see a 11 sec slip tomorrow. Doing some messing around during lunch, I think leaving in 2nd is going to be best. Anything over 1/2 throttle in 1st is pretty useless.

I'm planning on going but only spectating. Still need to get my nitto's mounted and a little more tuning. Looking forward to seeing some drag racing again.

Yep, first time at the track for the caddy. Hoping for low 12's since I'll be on street tires also and stock tune.

Friendly criticism can make things fun but there is no need for it to be that serious. Feel free to swing by and say hi if you see the HC.

Very cool. I'm hoping many don't know there are doing a T&T this evening so its not too crowded. I'm sure they won't give more than 3 runs anyway but who knows. I'd rather not be there until close to get my 3rd run.

Yea we'll be lucky to get 3 runs. It's only $20 to race tonight so it might get packed.

I don't think it will be too crowded because I'm sure a lot of people's cars aren't done yet I noticed it's the most packed end of summer / fall . I pretty much went every week from open to close lol

I saw 1320videos posted something today on Instagram about the 1st T&T at Etown. So that might get a few more people there. Unfortunately I have to bail on tonight. Warm track and cool air should make for some nice runs.

Also if you want to guarantee 3 runs pay the extra 20 and get in a bracket. You get 2 dial in time shots and at least 1 race. Sometimes better then sitting in lanes 1&2 forever. Plus bracket racing helps you get better on the tree.
