Since I had such a blast and new best there, how about we set a date(soon hopefully) and hang out together and race on a good fun track. The bite is there and the air is about as good as it gets for the inland/valley area......anyone interested in hookin up in the next week or two?

I'm apart at the moment, but would like to get out there once it's back together. That may be my only shakedown opportunity before MATS.

Dom, what are the crowds like there?

Is it crazy crowded?

How many runs can you usually get in?

Let`s see how many post and then we can set a date. The lanes get pretty crowed but on my first visit I got 6-passes and could of gotten more but wanted to completely cool down bet. rounds. I`d like to make this happen soon if possible.

I just would like to get some decent weather to get my heap to the track and see if the converter is close this time. At my house right now it is 37 degrees with FOG....The Fog just will not give us much of a break this year so far.

I don`t know if it`s worth it to come down for some 1/8 mi. passes for you but, I totally dig it and if you can get em to work good on the first half(1/8th) and the fuel delivery`s there, It`ll only get better when we hit the full boogoe 1/4.

Glad you are liking the place, the King Tacos sure hit the spot too along with the Lady from New Orleans who sells regional food.

6.97 , 1.44 , @ 93mph

But it has a problem with oil pressure. It was acting like it was sucking the pan dry just driving around normal, but the dip stick shows plenty. Then I added a quart of Oil after I left the track (since I had to go buy one) and it made it better, but did not cure it 100%. I am thinking it broke the little basket off the oil pump pickup or the dip stick is not indicating right or something. Adding that one quart made a huge dfference.

It practically had NO oil pressure on that last run, thats why the MPH was down from 95. I was getting out of it. The Oil pressure permissive shut the motor off after the burnout. But I don't think it hurt it since the cruise / freeway speed pressure was exactly what it was before on the way home. I will drain the oil soon and see what I get out of it (volume) and cut open the oil filter and have a look and then thump the bottom of the pan and listen to see if I hear anything bouncing around in there.

Your #`s are better than some of the "race car" #`s that I`ve seen out there. Sorry about your oiling issues and hopefully it`s a simple/quick fix.

Ron those mono leafs are working good with that 60ft time. Good luck on the oil pickup.
