Thats OK, you can bake without me.
Honestly, I talked to a friend who was there this past Sat. at the Pontiac Drags. Most cars were +.5 sec. do to the temps and traction sucked.

if you get one run for your 20 bucks you will get lucky make sure you make it a good one because it will be the only run you will probably make the whole day..

I sure hope not that would really suck.
 If it's going to be in the high 80's that day I'm not going.

You should be able to get 2-3 runs with a full day of waiting. Unfortunately thats how it goes when there are ~400 cars. (possibly less on sunday)
Try not to follow a front wheel drive car. He'll probably track water way past the burnout box. Let us know how ya do! Andrew

It's useless to torture these cars in the heat.You can easily lose 50 hp.under hot conditions. Makes more sense to run at Irwindale in the evening. Plus get more runs in. 1/8 mile is a good barometer of what your car will run in the 1/4 anyway so why beat it up ?

Parris Speedway on friday night, just make sure your brakes are good
I went 105 mph last week and was still able to stop with stock brakes. A t-type was not able to stop about three weeks ago because the 17 year old kid did not lift at the lights and went kaboom  I have seen low six second at 118 mph cars there and still stop but with everything they have. It's not a great track but it is good one to tune a little.

Hey Brent it looked good. Get those heads ported with big valves and you should pick up about 60-80 hp at that boost easy.
