Since we were done by 2pm I think they did rush us.We had time for more time trails before eliminations as well as the hot lapping between rods.
My PSN and Friday the 13th experiences. First wanted to get the new pump gasmotor in my 78, too many gremlins getting to and during the dyno to get it in. So was going to take my son's 81 TA. Dropped it off at a trim shop to put on a dash cap figuring they would do a better job than me. They had to redo it 3 times and wasn't ready til Friday morning(so I was REALLY glad I hadn;t tried it), wanted to leave at noon so didn't take it as needed some other minor stuff and loading on trailer. Good thing, running errands that morning my truck spring a radiator leak at the tank!
So I drove the 2004 GTO got in a pack cruising 90 mph from Houston and averaged 21-22 mpg while doing that. Best times Friday night and Saturday at PSN
[email protected]. Down side once heat soaked the computer torque mangement strarts pulling hp out and times were all over the place usually 14.20-40s@97mph, but made quarter finals in the consolation bracket once I figured how much to get on the brakes!
We missed the rest of you guys.
I'l put my 0.02 worth in for 2006-most of the guys I know enjoy seeing all of the long time Pontiac buddies and doing some racing even if its 1/8 mile. I would assume the 1/8 mile tracks would cost alot less that the Motorplex.There are alot of even fast cars running series at the 1/8 mile tracks. Rather have an 1/8 mile even than no event!!
