Boltz ran some amazing times, his car was FLYING.

What sort of traps were you putting down w/ your 50trim?

Thanks for clearing that up. I wish we would have went there yesterday. Sounds like you guys got your moneys worth before they closed. Maybe next weekend.

high 117s off the 6k 2step and low 118s off a 5k launch. both with excessive wheelspin.

theres a thread in drag racing with the slips if youd like to take a look.

We definitely did. I counted I did 14 runs and was ready to leave. We did have to wait about an hour in the middle for them to clear up a little rain but it was definitely a blast.

+1 on the track being fine. I didn't see any giant potholes anywhere where it mattered.

It was so dead you could've hot lapped and gotten 50 runs in. If you guys go again next weekend let me know, I might go again just to try race gas and see what happens

There was honestly under 20 cars total we had to share the track with, very cool.
