oh yea, i was looking at a wrong month. That will make it little harder to have a meet before hand since its Weds and im sure a lot of people will be working.

Yeah, Wednesdays suck for me.

That makes it really difficult for me, why can't they do these things on the weekend? Or at least on a Friday.

I guess they have too many NHRA and other events booked on the weekends.

Nothing Z-max does makes any sense. They have the nicest facility around and hardly ever hold events NHRA or otherwise. The way they have tried to make this out, is its for younger kids to be able to go and drag race legally. Which makes sense for the dates they are out of school for summer break. Nowhere to be the next day. Still you'd think they would want to pay for that facility quickly by having events every weekend like Mooresville or Shady Side, except when they have a pro event. Go figure.

Agree, by not having public events on the weekend, they are losing customers to places like Rockingham if you want 1/4 mile racing.

So irritating that we such a premier 1/4 mile track in the entire country and they'll only let us use it on Wednesdays.

Sent you a PM.

It's funny, I was really into autox with my Evo but started to get tired of it. Now I'm really into playing paintball.

Sounds like you're in the exact opposite state of mind as me, lol.

Autox was great, I did it for 7 years and won 3 regional season CCR titles in STS (now ST), Tire, and GS. But I got bored of it.

If I do anything with my Evo from now on it will be 1/4 mile racing...if Zmax can get their **** together and let us run on the weekends.
