Default Dallas Raceway on Saturday 9/5

Hey everyone some friends and I are going to Dallas Raceway on 9/5. Come out and join us, from what I hear the track has excellent traction and is a nice facility. The track opens at 4:00 pm and racing will start around 5:00 pm or later.

Here is a link to the website for the track:

thanks,
FSTFRC

Just street tires, I don't have drag radials. Plus I'd like to see what the car will run on street tires.

Nor will I. The personnel, track prep, no roll cage hassles, Dallas Raceway beats Tx Mtrplx hands down in all areas Heck they even have an ATM & Game Room, how cool is that.

Ask PREZ06 about how bad the track was at ennis his last time out

If it ain't a big NHRA money making event, Tx Mtrplx could care less about track prep.

Ah , I wish I didn't have to work I would be there with the " Great White " !
Got BFG road tires on but it still does alright [ better than the driver anyway ].
Last raced at TMS Scion arm drop and got nailed by a 2008 Shelby Cobra Super Snake w/510 blown horses .

Nothin wrong with those supercars , they got bite !

I have to check on getting some of those stick ons for the fenders cause getting that VHT and rubber off is a pain !
Any one know about those clear stick on sheets or who sells them ?
I'll try Speed Tec next time Im in.

Racing is fun fun fun till the old lady takes the Corvette away !
Nah I'm a widower and have a spare anyway !

Had a great time last nite Thanks to those who showed up. Although I didn't get a new personal best, it was a blast to stretch my Z's legs. Car did great, driver needs more seat time. My best was a 11.51 @124.25. Looking forward to a GTG there again.

Good job PREZO6 (Chris) on your 11.1 pass in my car.

It only proves what I already said the car is fine, my driving sux

FSTFRC(Joe), DR's make a difference, don't they

JGOAT(Jason), keep it up, as the temps drop, so will your ET's.

Once again, thanks for the great time

I have the same problem lots of driver errors last night, need more practice!!! (excuse to go back to that nice track!) Yes those drag radials make a big difference. Still lots of fun can't wait for nice cool weather change of the fall.
