Congrats on your purchase. Most tracks are opening up April 18th and 19th, I know I'll be at Earlville that weekend unless these guys are gonna headout to Eddyville on a Sat or Sun. Fri nights would be a little too much for me.

The Newton track is a 1/8 mile and they start May 3rd. Probably not as sticky as Eddyville and I believe its mostly just test and tune type deal. No bracket racing or anything like that.

I am just worried about eddyville being TOO sticky, i never had any trouble with my other cars there but i know these cars are infamous for the AXLES!

Right, its a "run what you brung" friday night deal Its more or less just yo have fun.. and newton is only 25 minutes east of des moines.. Its just drag racing down pit lane. I like it more than eddyville. I wheelhop way too much at eddyville and i dont feel like replacing axles..

The Newton track is a little closer than eddyville for me. Its those 80mph trap speeds on the 1/8 that I don't like, too far away to hold second and not enough time in third. It'd still be fun though...
