Union is pretty relaxed. First time out with the 455 ran 7.88 with no helmet. Nothing was said.

Wish Greer wasn't so far for me(2 hrs). Union is 30 minutes from me.

Used to go to Greer alot years ago but got tired of the ricer crowd and the slowest moving staging lanes I've ever been in, unless your a track buddy. I've been going to Shady Side for years now. Like mentioned it's an outlaw track so you don't have to be tech approved. Ronnie will ask folks running 7.50 or so to put on a helmet. I've been 7.15 with no issues from the track, just a helmet and factory seatbelts. Anyway I'll be at Shady Side tonight, testing out my new 12 bolt.

Forgot to mention Shady Side has tnt on Sunday afternoons as well. Ronnie keeps the track open year round as long as it's dry and above 50 or 60 or degrees.

Yeah Ronnie is great. He always appreciates the people that run there. Every single time I've been he walks through the staging lanes thanking racers for being there. It's about an hour for me so I don't get to run there often. Greer is 10 mins from my house.

I can sometimes hear Greer dragway from my back porch, but I rarely go there anymore. It's been years.

Wonder what the Road Race car would do with some drag radials on back and some skinnies up front? 11.5:1 KRE headed 407, M21 and a 3.55 posi
Hmmmm

Probably never get out of 2nd gear on the 1/8 mile.

Bring it out there if you wanna know. I'll take my drag radials/wheels off my car and let you make a couple passes with them if you want to.

It wouldn't be this week that's for sure, doing a mad thrash to try and make Road Atlanta next weekend.

But, after this race I have the summer off, I might take you up on that offer sometime this summer.
It'd be fun.
