^^^^ok..... and.....

Awesome!

haha was good talking with you! Let us know when you are ready for that clutch!

Fixed that for you. It'll be at tax time bud.

yeah i had fun too. you had to get there early or you were screwed, lot of nice cars out there. honestly ennis would have been a better track to race at with that many people. also the quarter mile would have been better suited. In the end I only came to race and see you guys. no homo.

haha, yea I will be seeing you around that time also!

Look forward to helping you out.

Yep. Everyone seems to have a gd hardon for eigth mile racing here. Damn tracks don't even exist in CA... Its like the rednecks are affraid their shitty cars will fall apart past 700 feet.

I find it completely unsatisfying to watch and espicially to race. But I also think its lame as hell NHRA only runs 1000 feet now because the old tracks aren't safe anymore. I'm not into the 330 foot racing crap, might as well just race 60 foot or reaction times.

I don't know why no one has Dallas Raceway host these events. I went yesterday and there were like 8-10 cars that raced ALL day... My friend Greg ran his 5.0 about 12 times with cool down time... Lol

Bc everyone was at this event...

1/8th, 1/4, roll racing, twisties, soap box derby cars, it's all fun. Different people are into different things.

1/8th mile tracks are more popular in the south for many reasons, they are smaller so easier to find locations for, cheaper to operate and honestly is more like stop light racing than anything else. Some people get just much of a charge from a launching a car from a dead stop as you do getting the top end rush of a high powered roll car.

Because there is more 1/8th mile tracks available here, people who want to race legally will tend to set their cars up for that more than anything else. Of all the options we have here in Texas, the 1/8th mile tracks are the closest and the cheapest to race at. The racing you like to do is the riskiest and the dumbest of all the choices. It's fun, but it really is stupid to do 150+mph on public highways.

I plan to do well over 150 at a legal track in Crandall eventually. Their was like no one there on Saturday... just dont know why events arent held there vs Denton or Kennedale all the f'in time.

Hasn't that track had some financial trouble opening and closing in addition to a not so friendly owner?

i know they been closing last minute before events a few times. that track is the nicest track in the area though. Ennis is to but also farther for most.

Yea I think so, but the entry and race fees dropped from the previous owners, and the track is very nice... They let you go up to the damn line to watch if you want, which is cool when there isn't anyone there.

I think a gtg race event there or something would be awesome. Set it up Steve :) Id make sure the vert was runnin for something fun like that, might even run an 11.9 in her. :troll3:

Man, organizing an event like that is a lot of work and someone always wants to bitch and complain no matter what you do. lol.

I've thought about it before and I've got several ideas. I'd have to talk to some sponsors about prizes and money. There is already some amazing events that take place in Texas - Texas Mile, T.I, Tx2k etc..

Arguably, Texas has some of the fastest street cars in the country. I think there is an opening for another event that is much like the old True Street event from the Fun Ford Weekend events but would have to have MUCH stricter rules to make them all actual street cars rather than race cars in disguise.
