What track did you run at? You have some awesome tracks out there on the east coast! Once in my life, I want to run at E-town or Atco and get a taste of what it's like to run in good air!

Rob;
E-town is good, Maple Grove is even better (lots of trees, good O2 %), don't waste your time at Atco - poorly maintained. Then there's Island dragway in NJ, Numedia, & Keystone in the PA mountains, Cecil County in Maryland, the list goes on! I just wish I had more time, and more cars.

I'm telling you, if I ever come up with a legit excuse to make a trip to the East coast, I would SERIOUSLY consider taking a car. LOTS of great tracks out there, but it has a lot to do with a certain member on another site, that lives on the coast, that thinks ALL of the 60s/70s musclecars are PIGS (his word) in stock form. The kicker is, he told me he won't race on a track, but only on the Mass Turnpike. He told me he would WALK ME (in dad's Yenko Camaro) with his stock (except for lid) 99 1LE Z-28. The basis for his argument? He read somewhere that a 1LE ran the 1/4 in a 13.16...

Oh boy, a trash talker!!
I hope he uses the automated toll collection device known as EZ-PASS. Apparently, they are now capable of giving speeding tickets based on distance/time calculations derived from the times registered by the EZ-PASS computer. So, if you show up at your destination exit too quickly, they know the distance, therefore you were -- speeding!

The only place to race is on the track, 6 people killed here in this small town from drag racing on the street this year already [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Hit the nail on the head. Race on the track only. Hawaii (Oahu) has lost 8 drivers (racing ) and 2 familys (5 persons)that were hit by the racers at 0 dark 30 in the morning.

This tractor trailer didn't crush the '69 Nova did it?

Marlin, almost everyone I meet up with around the PA/NJ area says they have run their best times at Atco. Englishtown is a nightmare anymore because of all the import racers that show up. But I will say that one of the guys in our club has run a 9.05 at Englishtown in his 97 SS 30th anniversary convertible. You need at least 1100 hp to do that in a 3900 lb car.

Rob,
If you ever make it to Atco Raceway, let me know because I live 20 minutes away. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
