Sorry, Ken. This is not the Fall Sport Compact Nationals. That's the event I won last month. Today is the IMPORT SURVIVAL SERIES 3.

And yes I'll be there.

Thanks to all of the "pro" and "heads-up" classes soiling the track every 5 minutes they called off racing after 1st round due to the curfew. They gave all 1st round winners our money back & a tiny 1st round winner trophy but it was a total waste of my time. I could have slept in a little late, finished some overdue yard work, and relaxed in the warmth of my house, instead of sitting around a cold track all day.

Yeah that part sucked, and Michelle cursing everybody out was kinda funny though.

Got past first round, it was a tough race too. I won by only .0202 seconds. The kid got a .006 light and I slept a bit with a .272 (worse light of the day) but he ran about .5 off his dial.

Car didn't hit 14's either. It ran dead on all day (for a change) 15.064 first time shot and 15.059 the second. I ran 15.17 in the first round, but I tapped the brakes at the top end. I figured it ran about a 15.08 with looking at all the traps.

Exit9 showed up too

Coldfire · 10-24-2006, 03:22 PM

Who's exit9? A member here?

Redog · 10-24-2006, 06:35 PM

Yeah the guy who can't really speak normal english, althought he's gotten better

jackal2000 · 10-24-2006, 07:00 PM

ken, what happened to that 14.5????? didnt you run that about this time last year??

Daytona · 10-25-2006, 08:17 AM

He ran that at Atco. I don't know the differential between the 2 tracks, though.

Redog · 10-25-2006, 06:22 PM

Yeah I only ran that at Atco Raceway in Atco NJ.

People at E-Town tell me that Atco is a faster track. Everybody is faster there, and Cecil County Raceway, in Rising Sun, MD is a little faster than Atco.

The theroy is since Atco is totally surronded by trees (The track practaly runs thru the woods) There is more oxygen there. People have gotten anywhere from .1 to almost 1 full second in ET shavings

Cecil's faster because the first 60' or so are on a slight downgrade. My 60 foots are always better there than RP for the same weather.
