Post anyone heard of the track being open on sat nights from 10p -2am now?

Heard something on the radio this morning that the owner of OSW wants to help cutdown illegal drag racing. He wants to open the track on Sat nights from 10p to 2am for test and tune..

Yea I got a postcard in the mail from them. Its only on selected night 6/8, 7/6, 8/3, & 9/7. No time slips, no scoreboard. You must drive them in and have mufflers. (don't want to wake up the neighbors I guess.)$15. to run,$10 to look.
I'm waiting for them to have booking agents next

Mufflers? my car is an embarrassment enough running no Muffler, and getting my best times, with it I am in low 16s. :P

too bad, would have been perfect to me, Getting out of work early for me usullay consists of getting out at 10:30 at night.

sup jen..
so lemme get this right, the rigorous tech inspection you go through will be checking for mufflers. They make laugh, they never check for helmets, disconnect switches, concealed rear mounted batteries, long pants or cages, you know the safety stuff, but you better have a g'dam muffler. Just making sure i understand

I am assuming the muffler one will be checked, because its obvious when you do nto have one.

Maybe I could get by, I still have a muffler nad I-pipe, jsut not hooked up

Makes a cutout look more and more appealing.

Tey were handing out flyers ronight at the track, I left it in my car though.

they announced no Trailer queens, and they said the quicdkest cars in Central FL will be coming. They said this C4 vette was going to be there tommorrow, he ran a .5XX R/T and a 9.2 in the 1/4, so I would watchout guys.

I might watch or something, but doubtful I will cosnisder running, unless there are normal imports there I most likley will be getting my *** handed to me.

Hey Mike. Are you back in FL. now? I heard a rumor last weekend from Mike and Jeremy that Rich might have a race with Jakes Incon SVO. If they are I just hope Jake cranks up the boost, he's gonna need to.

Later

I will see you at the track Sat. night Mike. Maybe we can set up a little rematch since you have done some "stuff" to your car.

Later.

Maybe a coincidence or maybe not, but Emerald Coast Dragway in Holt is doing the same on the 21st of this month. It's 1/8th mile, but it's the only good track here in the panhandle.
