Nice meeting you too CrotchRocket!! And you and Jason helped me out a lot with my routine, I made it to the Semi-Finals last night and then redlighted. I told my friend that he jinxed me, I cut a .013 light and he said, "Just don't redlight"...lol I can't remember the last time I went red, but oh well.
2000redrocket, I did get out to Cecil on opening day, but it was so cold (34 degrees) it was a waste of time. Hardly anyone was there, so the track was cold and with no cars putting down rubber it was a waste of time and money for me. The tolls to get up there from here were ridiculous pulling a trailer, I think it cost me twenty some dollars to get up there. Now that MIR is in full swing that is where I spend most of my time since it is just down the road. And I feel you on the rain, we haven't had a points race yet because they keep getting rained out.

what was the issue with the track? no traction i am guessing?
i went there in about the same weather the end of last year.
i will be chaceing those time slips with a stock engine for ever
i bet. 125 1/8 and 153/156.7 1/4mph was a killer air day. but there
were 8 sec or faster cars there running to the 1/8th. i think 5.4s was
a shootout car ran a 8.0 lifting at the 1/8 mile. crazy fast.
i wish mir was not so far away for me. i my self want to go to atco this
summer and check that place out.
nice reaction time by the way. i got a trophy on a .006 final. i hope some day
i can repet that day. it was great fun.
by the way, it is raining again! and we already have a inch of rain sofar today.

Yeah, the track was cold, and I couldn't get any traction. I feel you chasing the 8's. When I was in Southern Cali I was chasing the 5's in the 1/8 for a long time. I was foot shifting and the air is pretty bad out that way.
And thanks, I always have great reaction times during time runs...lol. I get into competition and do something stupid, But I have only been in three bracket races, and went a few rounds last night soI am getting better.
Hopefully you can make it down to MIR some time, maybe you and some others could carpool.
