Speedworld tonight...Any one going?

Just woundering if any one is going to make it out to speedworld tonight. They are having the Team Speedworld Summit Racing ET Series Points Race #6; Its also open to the public to race. And since there will be drag cars there, than that means that the track should be preped pretty good!

Damn it. Had I known I wouldn't have gone to Firebird last night. I don't like running my car at the track too often, and Speedworld suppossedly has much better conditions than Firebird.

All i know is that the track should be fully preped cause its an event. So hopefully some good ET's. Im going for high 13's. Only problem being is that my tires are pretty bald. But who know's.

If they use enough VHT and you get your tires hot enough you should be golden. Firebird was preping the track pretty good last night, but it still sucked.

Cause both wheels spin, hence bald tire'S, and with out LSD you only get a bald Tire.

Im not going to go tonight. I am too tired and I have a full tank of gas. I would have to drive 400 miles to burn off enough gas to have a 1/4 tank. And I really dont feel like washing the car.

Oh yeah! Thats what happened, a few years ago I was at a shop thats on the same street as sanderson ford, and there were guys making hot laps around the block in the SVT mustangs!!! Brand new cars there trying sell, and here they are burning rubber and flying down the street. Someone needed to be fired, wheres Donald Trump when you need him!

Yeah the sales manager that sold Vendian his car (before I met Vendian) told me that he had the tires spining through second gear from the parking lot exit to the stop sign. (approx. 30 ft.)

No, I have other plans already.

I think we need to plan a trip to Speedworld instead of Firebird one of these nights. I really want to see what it is like.
