Calling all the SoCal heads

July 25th, Friday night drags.
http://www.famosoraceway.com/fnd.htm

Bring any car, but it would be fun to roll together since the place is always full of local muscle heads.
Let me know. I will be there with the dream of hitting a 10......again.

I would, but I'm a little too far away! One thing, since you're under 11.49 there are "separate rules that apply". Will they make you comply to the NHRA rule that requires a roll bar for everyone under 11.99? I couldn't tell from your pictures if you already have one? You'll get a 10 second slip, weather permiting!

haha, just a little far.
Test and tune should be different.
I have no cage and nobody said anything when I ran a 11 flat last time, but just to make sure I sent them an email. Not sure if I can do any better than last time.

When I read the Tech Inspection portion, little alarms went off. After your first run in the low 11s or high 10s they might take a closer look at the car. That "separate set of rules" could make the trip a waste of time. Good luck.

We usually race Famoso for WCHRA. It is one if the best track surfaces on the West Coast. March to May and October to November the weather is usually great for record setting times.

Very nice. It was in mid 90's last Friday night and my car was suffering from heat soak.
The weather was non turbo friendly.
