Don't bother...I went there last Saturday for the first time to just "blow the cobwebs out" since I had not raced my Formula since last October.

Sucked so badly! They did absoluetly NOOOOO track prep. Before I run a new track, I walk it to see if there are any big bumps, etc. It was slick walking it, so, I asked if they were going to blow it off and spray it...the guy said, and I am quoting, "We blew it off and sprayed to the 330 last week." Last week?

Needless to say, normally I can deadhook and run 1.39-1.42 60's all day long...I ran 1.69, 1.66, 1.58, packed up and left for home. I told my wife to kick me in the groin if I decide to go t&t anywhere but Stanton, Grand Bend, or Norwalk. Weather permitting, off to Stanton on Saturday.

No matter where you go, good luck, but Ubly has my only $20 they'll ever get. Take care.

Shouda listened to you RUQWIKR I used to run 1.6 60`s with an old 454 and stock suspension at ubly...Now I have a tube k member and a arms coil overs adj T/A, reloca brkts, tube rear arms and tube panhard bar and 1.7 was the best I could pedal it too. Alot has changed since the last time I was there, my car used to bogg off the line it hooked so hard...Now it hooks harder on the street than at ubly got any directions to those tracks you were mentioning? I`d like to see a ten sec pass this year from the old girl...11.49 @ 120mph was all it would muster with traction only in second and third

We had a blast a Stanton on Saturday...hooked fine even with around 200 cars! I alternated between bog and spin, but that was due to my launch rpm's not track prep. Even with 200+ cars, for $10 we got 6-10 runs.

Take care.
