Most likely it will still be the quickest 3/S at ecg by far, unless Raheel's car (WHICH I ALSO BUILT) comes.

when was the last time it went? last 2 years was me at NG.. 06 way my car and 07 was me driving Nelsons. ill be happy to race that car if i go

Just worry about gettin Raheel's car tuned
that thing NEEDS to be at the ecg!
The orange car has been gararaged for about 2 yrs, I think it was 2005 that it went and it had the old set-up. Its makin about 60 more whp now, and has never been tracked with this new set-up.

We hadn't planned on going to the US 13 Dragstrip on Friday night, but if there's enough interest, we could do that.

Looking at their schedule, it doesn't look like they even have drag racing on April 18th (Friday), but only on Sunday the 20th.

In past years, we have gone to the track; one year it was cancelled due to rain when we had rented the track.

Can one of you guys call them, at (302) 875-1911, and ask if there will be dragracing that Friday night, and if there's no other regularly scheduled event, ask how much it would cost to rent the track for "just us"? If we did that, it might be worthwhile to invite another club to help share the cost, and give us some competition.

I can give them a call tomorrow, I also have a source just a few minutes out of OC for VP racing gas. I will also check with them tomorrow and post a thread to see how many people would be interested in racing gas so we can make sure they have some on hand.

They normally sell it at the dragstrip. When I went a couple weeks ago, they had a few different types, including 110 octane if I recall correctly.
