I have heard the Hobbs track is the fastest track in the area, but have not been there.

New owners at Roswell track so I'm not sure how it will be. I'm heading down at 5:30 friday
so hopefully we will see you there.

I've never run at Hobbs but I've been there as a spectator a couple times. There seemed to be a lot of people having traction issues. I've wanted to try Roswell for a while. We will probably be headed down there about 4:30-5:00. So far it's just me and a C5 vette heading down there.

I'll be heading down to hobbs this weekend for the tnt. Not sure if ill run the gaybalt or not. My buddies twin turbo duramax had some traction issues in hobbs along with a minor boost leak He still ran a 13. Then fixed the boost leak and ran a 12.4 in Amarillo. I have a lot of friends in Hobbs that say the track isn't very sticky.

@ Roswell what looks like the finish line is not really the finsh, lol its a bit farther down the track.

A friend here in town got to go on the show Pass Time in Roswell and he let off and coasted across
the finish line, screwed up everybody's guess,

I'll see you in Roswell.

Good luck fellers (those of you going to the track). Keep us posted on how it goes and what you run.

Shitty traction, 20-30 mph head wind and not tuned well enough only netted me 14.04 lol

Nice pic. Thanks.

Like he said, wind sucked and traction was worse, especially on stock street tires. My best was a 14.6x at 98mph.

Again, thanks for the pic. My wife was planning on taking a few pictures, but her camera died after 5 minutes of being there because she forgot to charge the battery.

Canceled the wheels unfortunately but on another note I got my turbo today. Thinking of throwing a billet wheel in it.
