This race is sold out and the gates are closed to spectators. How many times do you hear this happening at a drag strip.

I am siding with Eric Dillard (owner of PLR) cars spinning are set up for cooler temps. Why change the tune when 1st round elims will be at night and you already have your # from last night. Goss should be A-OK for tonight.

This isn't grudge racing at this race. Small tire racing at its finest.

I went to Holly Springs a couple years ago to the spring race. Unbelievable atmosphere. I don't how anyone could go to one of the big drag radial races and not leave a fan of 1/8 mile racing. Cars that can cover the 1/8 in four seconds or less at 200 mph are bad a$$ and the guys that wheel them have a wheel barrow load size sack.

Totally different. Grudge racing is bragging about how fast your car is then turning around and asking for a head start. Small tire racing is lining them up and the light flashes. First one to the finish line wins without all the BS of grudge racing

Yep. I wish the guys at my local track were watching, probably dont even know it exists, so they could learn the art of "Track Prep". You need more than a freakin power broom to have a good surface.....

Rob Goss is getting three good blocks made. There will be two cast aluminum blocks and a billet block. Was just talking to him today about them.
