:whiner: I think we're going to try it again...
cold/pavement (bad)...cold/air (good)....sounds like we may have a good turn-out!
Last time there were 7/assorted SRT-10's. From Supercharged to NOS...sometimes both....
me Water/Methanol, anything to 'cool' that load of compressed/air :rofl:

So who will be going?

Yeah it's not going to be any picnic out in Palmdale. They predicted frost last nite!:whiner:
But everybody is on the same surface. And one more thing, they have what they call 'corrected times' because of the altitude.

Somewhere between 1,700-2,600/ft. Slows everything down.

MORE LIKE 3,000/ft elv.


Hi-Oh!

:rofl: Well the weather-man posted a beauty last nite....

31/high
28/low

I don't even know if I have clothes warm enough to go out there?:whiner:

One thing about living at the beach, you can't get to much colder than that mass of water called the ocean.
It's rare for Santa Monica to get much colder than say...47-50/deg's.

Hey Quick, get any good runs at the track ?

I know you have had a few rough trips so far....

I have yet to have a clean trip either, so am looking for a good run later on this winter or in the spring ;)

Nothing good will happen until we get some M/T-slicks! Somebody has got to get our rear/brake set-up changed so we can have rear/brakes and go FAST!
Our Truck with my mods on her.....so far has posted a E/T of 12.4/sec with 'street tires'!

The R/C's ride so good after there 'Boomer Dropped' that there trying to fit some of the parts to the Q/C.
That is the Truck that suffers most from changing the O.E.M. ride.
Gets hard as a rock! They may even now already be using the front/springs from the R/C kit.
Boomer will even give you the exact springs they used when they set the record...154.88/mph 5th/gear! Now these may be a little stiffer :rofl:

p/s: Oh yeah, I almost forgot...she rides great!
