I have heard from multiple sources that confirmthe substandard paving at 42. Not sure it would be an issue for our cars, as long as the starting line is prepped. That said, the place is usually very dusty. If all you get is 1/8, I am just going to Pacemakes - 15mintues from my house and actually nicer than 42.
Norwalk is the place if you want to get "your run", but on a Friday night TT, you might get 3 passes. I think the night a few years ago when I broke my LT-4 into the 12s, I got 4 runs on a Friday at Norwalk, so that was decent. The place is the nicest, best prepped.
Nitroussam and I have been talking that we need to get out to a track soon too, so lets all keep up on the weather and look for a decent Friday night!
i live about 10 mins from 42 ive raced at quite a few tracks and i have to say its the lower end but for street cars its more than fine as a matter of fact i would be afraid until about 140 which ill never get there and most other street cars will never see....if anyone wants to get a bunch of vette in NE Ohio to go give me a shout before the season ends.

Where do you live? I work about 10 minutes from 42. Used to go there a ton on Fridays when I was bracket racing my Nova.
I was there last month and drag raced for the 1st time ever and had a ball. It was on a Friday test & tune session and they also had street bike racing. Since then I had LG LT Streets installed at Carlise and will be going back again.

Great video!!!
So the track was SMOOTH and not choppy???
What was the accident all about???? Related to poor track conditions & traction??
I know a couple times I got a little sideways shifting into 2nd and breaking loose....hopefully my drag radials will eliminate that problem.
Watch22, I work Tuesday night or would like to come.....what times/speed are you doing these day.....let us know about track conditions.
Your dyno is incredible, the horsepower is still climbing steep as ever at your rpm max!!! Wonder how high your hp peak would be at higher revs??

Thanks LT4BUD, This was my 1st time at Dragway 42, my Vette ran as if it were on rails so the track was smooth. Being a rookie at this I put my A4 in 3rd gear (running with runflats) and just stomped on it. The accident was with a Mustang, someone let their wife/GF take it down the track and she lost it off the line and put it into the wall. I went with some of my co-workers and we plan on doing it again on a Saturday, if we do I'll let you know when.
I did one at Norwalk yesterday w/ some of the GTO & Mustang folks; $22 for a 9am to 1pm session, got in 6 runs in about 90 minutes (we left after 90 minutes), coulda done at least twice that but let car sit in between runs for a bit. Didn't run for s***, but it was fun, low pressure day.
