Re: Anyone here besides me...

No, I do wish I could make the time for it again... but alas... more money now, but no time. Always seems to be a trade off for me.

I did run in quite a few classes within IHRA, NHRA and NSCA (Pro Nostalgia). Really miss that but it's just too darned expensive. Everyone looking for the edge within the confines of the rules and that means spending big bucks on stock-appearing-but-highly-modified parts. I miss it.

Good luck Ted.

I'm all the way down at #140 I have only one point and that is for early registration for the points series. No car yet = no points yet.

*sigh* There's always next year, right?

Re: Anyone here besides me...

I'm in it, not doing that good.
Our track had a late start at the beginning of the season do to new surface.
I have been having to many first round lost's typically I will buy back and do pretty good but in the SSS when you lose that's when the rounds stop counting. Good chance we won't get all of our rounds in this year.

Re: Anyone here besides me...

I was actually holding my own this season. Its my rookie year in Heavy Eliminator. Then 3 very close first round losses. Finally got a first round win but lost the engine crossing the finish line. Broken main cap. I've been running my stock ragtop. Huge difference in running the two cars. Took a few races (ok a lot) to dial the car in. I'm finally somewhat competitive in it but dropped to 33rd. http://www.atcorace.com/points/srehA...&smonth=2004_8
Running 14.70's against 9 and 10 second cars is an experience. ATCO has 4 more races this year. I may make a last effort and sign up in the street class at another track. They just changed ownership and points just started 2 weeks ago. I might be able to qualify for the division 1 race over the labor day weekend. There running that Saturday, Sunday, and double points on Monday.
