How long does it generally take to get down there? I've never been to the track before, but would like to see what my slow arse V6 can do. Well, I probably dont wanna see cuz I'll be disappointed, but I'd like to go. Is there anything that needs to be done prior to going to make my car track-legal? Or is there anything I should read before going? It'd be my first time and I've never even watched at a track before, but I think it'd be cool. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. I think I'd like to try it out.

Gates open at 5pm there and racing begins at 6pm, so how about we all meet at the Lowe's around 3 and leave no later than 3:15pm?
newbies should read

steve, you're gonna run 15's? hehe. well, i'll see you there, hehe. i always wondered how my car would do against yours in the 1/4 mile. i know a stick lude with your mods would whip me, but i dunno how an auto would do. i'll most likely go.

I thought drag racing was a valid excuse?

Excuses

- "My sex change operation just can't be rescheduled."

- "I need to be owned by some F-bodies tonight." <--- Don't you like this one?

Hell really just say you got a group meeting or some required trip for your class. Though your graduated aren't you? How about grandma has to get a ride from the airport or you have a really sick family member in Bristol, Tn.......

The weather looks fine to me. Rain only in the morning, plus they do an amazing job there of drying the track and preping it.
