Racing this weekend??????/
Well as the plan stands now. A group of us plan on going to Grand Bend this friday for some test and tune at an awesome track. Probably about 40-50 cars total. So that makes for some serious amounts of racing.
Then Saturday to St.Thomas for the toronto f-body event. That is a good time. A bunch of f-bodies hangin around having fun.
Now for the weather to co-operate for a while.
See you there.

Well, if my 4.10 gear install goes well on Friday?

.....except the gears would be getting their initial break-in driving 3 hours to St. Thomas!!!
Oh, and I don't have slicks yet
.
There will be more w/e's this summer
.....I'm gonna make it out one of these times, I swear!

. However, it looks like I won't be going to the track this w/e
. Friday I'm having new street tires put on during the day, and right now my dad has the garage tied up with an '87 Corvette for a friend of ours, so I can't get my car in there to do the rear end until Saturday it seems
. I am just itching to go though
) so I can't wait to see how that's going to work out!
I already tried 3.73's last year, and I think 4.10's will be better for 1/4 mile racing, AS LONG AS I can get "traction"!

) so I can't wait to see how that's going to work out!

, Sunoco 94 has only been hovering around ~$1.00/L near me, which makes it about ~$15 more per fill-up than when gas was ~$0.70/L, and with 4.10's I won't get much worse mileage than 2.73's anyways
(believe me, even 3.73's weren't as bad on gas as I thought they would be
).....so we'll see how things go!
