I've been there 3 times since they re-opened, spectating, and have seen some fast passes although, the track does go away. They're learning and getting some new equipment. I wish them all the success possible. I went to the no prep event New Years eve. That was a wild one. Not my cup of tea though.

Funny you guys mentioned The MoPig My oldest son, Derek, went to the track w/ me on Saturday.

Part of my old car's legacy(?) is that it's always been driven to the track... although it did come home on a rollback once when I done blowed up the engine real good at MIR about 25 years ago. 2021 Challenger 6.4L Scat Pack 1320 100% stock: 1.680, 11.894 at 113.75 (DA 175 ft) weight reduction, wheels, tires, Hellcat air box: 1.661, 11.686 at 115.97 (DA 710 ft) 1973 Challenger 452 ci street/strip [2008] pump gas, DOT radials: 1.454, 10.523 at 126.44 (DA 514 ft)

He has been on an extended hiatus but I am sure when he does get it back out it will run well and he will document all he has done as he did in the past. Us OG's gotta stick together "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"
