Default October 23rd, Some Drag Racing Fun @ ThunderRoad??

A group of us our planning on going down to ole Red River Raceway (now Thunder Road) on October 23rd. I wanted to extend an invitation to you all. Hoping to have some good times and get my first 10sec time slip I have talked with Stephen (ETMC) and if all works out he is bring in 427 LSX TT + N2O vette out for some fun. You don't want to miss it.

That date gives everyone time to get the cars ready. We are way pass do for a Ark-La- Tex LS1tech day at the track. It would be great to see everyone again for some fun & runs. Count me in, let's start a who's coming list.

I am pretty excited as this may be the only opportunity I get to run the car this year and a buddy of mine is planning on coming down from OK. He has a set of slicks and he said I can use them. I will only get one pass with them as I dont have a cage in the car but I will finally get my 10sec timeslip. So far I have run 11.12 at 123 with a 1.78 60' on my 150 shot. Since I will have traction I am going to bump to a 175. I am thinking I will be able to crack off a 10.7 or so and be my first 10sec pass

This is sounding good, I'm going to post on Thunder Road site that we are coming to play on the 23rd of Oct. which is a friday TnT night. That way Sam & the track crew will know we are coming. Everyone try to make it out, if not to make some passes. We can still meet and B/S. Hey Coleman think some of the FMS group would like to come out to play ?

I just hope they prep the track well. If I can get a 1.6 60' or below with slicks then I will be in good shape
