Thompson Drag Raceway (6/17/09)

Looks like a rain-out this week. We will have to try again another day.

Wednesdays are pretty laid back. Gates open at 5:00pm. Time runs start at 5:30. You can make as many passes as you like until about 7:30 when they close the staging lanes to prepare for eliminations which start at 8:00pm. Cost to enter is $12.

I just received an e-mail from Dyno Steve (RDP). He said he will be there running a Mustang, and might bring along a Jeep SRT8, too.

Hope to see some of you guys there.

You can't speak of his name here. You will be banished to the depths of HELL!! I'll come up there and whip you all over the track. Actually you'd probaly give me a run for my money, I haven't been to the track since last spring. I laid such a hurtin' on Al that he went to his garage and tinkered for the rest of the year..

Yeah, I know some guys have their panties in a bunch over him. That's none of my business. He has done right by me so far. That's all I am concerned with.

As for Al, I am trying to twist his arm a bit to get him to the track. I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting him (or getting slaughtered by him on the track)

You need to come out and play so you can share your Power Tour stories. I bet your car would look pretty good with some rubber spattered all over the 1/4 panels

The rubber never stops peeling off actually.. tires are so damned expensive too!

A couple sets a year sounds reasonable to me

I've got four 275/40 Vredesteins sitting in my garage on stand by. Maybe thats why I'm mean to my Goodyears.

I took my OEM Goodyears off before I put my first tank of gas in the car. Now that the car is broken in a bit, I may bolt them back on for a smoke show.
