I plan on the 27th weather permitting. We all going to meet up somewhere? Hope we get a group to go. Its always fun spending a day at the track.

I agree with meeting up and cruising to the track together. I'm in - don't know if I will take her down the track though.

 

[gtp6515]

Its so fun to go down the track. You would be hooked I am sure.

I'm afraid it will run too slow, then I will have to put a whole bunch more money into it.

 

[gtp6515]

Trust me...there will be much slower.

Traction will be terrrible, going to wait until warm and sunny. Have fun.

I hate that theirs always a trade off... We want great DA and when we usually get it we have no traction. I just figure might as well and get out and log some runs and just for experience. I just want to get into the 11's this time out with DRs on.

I was also told that if I want to actually race at a good track with very good track prep to head down to Cedar Falls, IA.

Then lets go there. We can all crash at your place the night before:biggrin2:

We could... It's only about an hour and a half away I believe.

Looks a bit more legit.

Brent: You could always meet up with Joe (Bracketracer) and myself at Byron Dragway on the 28th. Would be quite a drive for you though. Will just have to wait till September to meet up with you guys.

Cedar Falls is called the House of Hook for a reason. I grew up not far from there and have been there many times. Great place to race. I will give you this comparison, Ive had better traction at Cedar Falls on a street car night at midnight on 17" Hoosier drag radials than Ive had in the peak of the day with sunshine, 80 degrees, on 325/50/15 MT drag radials with bracket cars laying down rubber at the Rock.

The Friday night fun nights are awesome, street cars only, small crowd, $25!!, and as many runs as you can muster. Top 4 fastest cars at the end of the night get to run for thier money back.

Wonder if it matters that we are not running 9 second 1/4's.

Better traction is better traction, no matter the car or hp. It really is a night and day difference between tracks. I ran my 04 GTO M6 at Cedar Falls and could clutch dump that thing on street tires and ran a 13.4 at 109 bone stock. Launch is key. No traction equals sloooow et.

I'm from down there as well... Dubuque in fact.

Drums, I wonder how many of the other guys saw this post?

Ever go to the Cedar Rapids swap meet at Hawkeye Downs? God I miss that, swap meets up here suck. Bunch of old timers sellings some bent up trim for a 50's Buick and stock LS1 intakes for $300.

This thread? or LS1's post about the CF track?
