Today being the first day of spring, I can't help but wonder how how much of the country is racing already.

This time of year in the Northwest is about as frustrating as it gets. Rain, Rain, and more Rain!!

I got my new ET Drag Radials mounted up the other day, and can't wait to get to the track and see how my off-season changes pay off, but around here, we're probably still 6 or 8 weeks away (sucks!)

You guys??????

Heck, I'm half way through the season! Race #6 is tomorrow ( out of 12 ). The only month I don't race is July - too hot.

In a few weeks I'll pull my back up engine out of the
car and put the W-9 back in... other than that I have
to wait.... it'll be a bit before the tracks open

Yeah Bill, I still have a full tank of fuel in my snowblower, I never drain it out until mid-April.

They tried to open up at Edgewater last week, but they only got 17 cars. The Ohio river was at 56 feet, only a couple feet away from flooding the track.

Raining right now, more for Sunday.

Drove the car to work today. Might head down to Woodburn soon if the weather cooperates to blow the cobwebs out the car, but mainly me. Otherwise i'll be hanging on until April 16th, 17th for Pacific's opener.

Wish I could. It simply wont quit raining here. Thinking maybe of taking up sailing, or Arc building. Made it out ONE time so far this year with any success. I am racing in Vegas next week with no real data to go off of and a new combination with a total of 4 passes on it. Only three of which were on the stop. So call me a first round duck but gotta go.

Dustin, do you trailer to Woodburn, or does the Dart sing all the way there and back?

I trailer when going long distances because I can. If I had no other options I would drive the car. Its a car, i'll drive it and race it. If it breaks, i'll fix it.

Not yet. The weather is good, but I have to get my new Toyo slicks mounted yet. I have tickets to go watch a boxing match this Saturday. This will be a new experience for me.
Triple Threat, I like your attitude!!

Saw on Kanawha Valley's web-site (Winfield, W. Va.) they are going to have a Test/Tune and swap meet March 26. Sounds good, but a little too early for me...car is still in the trailer,,maybe in a couple weeks I'll be ready.
