Al said it should be dry in the morning. Either have to send it sooner and just back off and have fun.

Hopefully, time to raise some H E double Hockey sticks.

If it is wet, it's just going to stay on the trailer. It's dangerous running it all out in the dry. In the wet, forget it.

No, we didn’t get the cancellation notification until we were past the point of turning back, got there at 12:30 and the ******* working the gate wouldn’t let us in to check for spooler even though we had pit crew passes/tickets. So, thew a hale Mary and went to the Hilton hotel that was the sponsor hotel for the event in the remote chance he would be there, no dice, I pmd him at that time but never heard back.

All was not lost however, wife and I found out jeeptoberfest is going on this weekend at Ocala as well, apparently this is an annual thing, so hopefully we’ll be able to attend one year, it’s full up this year for the trail riding. Lots of cool rigs out and about, my hand hurts from all the waving.

It is beautiful up there though, we could def see ourselves on a small homestead of a couple acres and big 8 car garage out back etc.

Edit: just double checked my pms, I must’ve not sent a pm this afternoon when we got to the hotel, oops, I remember talking about it with wifey, must’ve just forgot to actually do it, derp.

Hey folks, we got plenty runs in today. Didn't get the numbers we expected but it was definitely fun and an eye opener. Not that it's a worthy excuse but the surface there was extremely sandy and I was spinning through 1/4 mile. After trying everything I ended up putting Ecutek traction control at 100% which gave me consistent 151mph runs and even then the rear was loose all over the track when shifting. Spoolers best I think was 162 but I'll let him tell it. He should be driving and drinking a mountain dew right now. I was 14 of 48 in rwd and I believe he was 8 of 48 in rwd. I'll speak on it more tomorrow I'm dead tired.

Spooler · 10-20-2019, 11:42 PM

My best was actually 163.5mph and 10th out of 48 RWD cars. I was skating all over the place until I hit 4th or 5th. It is hard to get traction down on dusty old concrete. Your guys need to go look at the times. Full bolt on Tuned GTR's were only running in the 138mph/144mph range. Very few folks were in the 150's or above. So as far as FPenvy, He is not even in the class of our cars. Dig or not. Solidus and I had our hands full. It was UGLY!!! The guys with Quality traction control in our HP range ran in the 177/180mph range. Most notably, 2- 911 Turbo S's that were modified and tuned. The biggest laugh was all the Z06 Corvette's and HellKitties. They were in the 13xmph speeds. That's it. Loud as all get out and slow as molasses.
