That wall is way overdue. Those pro-mods can get stupid very quickly. That chain link didn't offer much protection:eek:

Anyone up for some Factory street tire racing? I was going take my stock wheels and tires out Sunday to see what kind of times I could run on them. Who wants to race? With REAL street tires and a 1/8 mile track it's 30% truck/70% driver.

We did this a while back and had a good time.

It did actually open and it was packed. I got there at 8 and got in one run before I had to leave at 9:15.

The burnout area felt stick eyer than the start line:nono:
