I'll be out there. It will be the last cool weekend for six months so if you want to make your best ET, it's time to get it done.
I have to try to run down my uncle's 7.8 pass... lmao....
I thought all these big, badass blower turbo and nitrous cars were finally done and ready to run. 
Kinda funny that all the big boys are gonna get up early Saturday and freeze their ass off in a parking lot instead of run their cars!

1/8 mile is ok, I used to hate it but for this type of event it is fun enough (or class racing like 275 or 7.0 class etc) but this track in general is a shit hole, usually tons of thugs there, and there is no where to go around the water, so after a while the track is slick as shit due to all the street tires dragging water down the track... Also the track is VERY narrow, not much room to wag the ass end around for fear of ending up on the guardrail.
The cheese burgers are damn good though.

It's at 10am on a Sunday, there won't be any thugs there except the DFWM people. Unless you count the grandpas dialing in their bracket cars.
