Made my first pass yesterday at Sunset dragstrip in western P.A ,while I have alot of learning in front
me I must say the track staff was Awesome
I got there and Alex and another guy kinda of a Hawain looking dude pretty much lead me buy the hand and took me through the motions all day. While I was still a nervous wreck they took alot of the anexity away.I will be doing it everychance I get. Also gotta give Wild Bills dad A big thanks for the quickie Pep talk at PRP. JUST DO-IT My First burn out was done in reverse anyone thats been to Sunset may understand why

Ya I've heard the Stories and rumours. I'll just take it as it comes. Just wish dragstrips weren't so far and few between in my neck of the woods. Any strip I go to I got quite a drive

In what area are you? I'm in New Castle.

I ran my Dart there for a year and had to put new lower ball joints, one upper, an idler arm, a-arm bushings, and tie rod ends on. I know another guy who ran for a couple years up there with his Duster and had to do more. It's a scary place for sure. If you ever get a chance, read the "insurance" paper you sign on your way in.

I'm from out in the sticks over near Clarion. Yes it can be scary and I now know what brake fade is with drum brakes
