Re: Tracks in the South bend area

i hate Osceola. its only 15 minutes max from me, but i still always make the 2 hour drive to run at US41 instead. bunker hill is only 1/8 mile

Martin and Rt66 are both nice, but i never run at either one since they both have very strict tech inspection and long staging lane waits

Scott, i went to 66 and pasted inspection. Hell i ran my best time there with a 13.34@106. That track is the stickest track ive ever seen. I thought i was gonna break my rear for sure.

Re: Tracks in the South bend area

none of the cars i have raced would have passed tech at a NHRA track like Rt66 or IRP. i didnt care much since a sticky track is the last thing i needed anyways. put my firebird on the back bumper twice at US41 even though i was launching soft and trying to avoid doing that, ended up breaking a ton of stuff. my 94 z28 still just has a stock rear and stock T56, so that wouldnt hold on a good track either (already broke the tranny, rear, driveshaft, and BMR TA on the street on radials)
