Default Track opens Tuesday nite.

After 5 months of responsible driving I really need to abuse the poor GT.
This is the second date of the year and will be my first time out. When do all of your tracks open? I don't want to hear from you turds down south who's tracks never close.:bash:

I feel your pain man. I busted up my back and had to have surgery the summer I bought my GT. I had a full exhaust system laying in the garage along with uppers and lowers. It was killing me, I couldn't drive for six weeks. The week the Doc gave me the okay to drive I was racing.

That is very good for a stock 02 Gt. I think mine was 14.60's with the slush box.
I had to mod immeadiately or never show my face there again. There were Nissan Maxima's running low 15's and I could not allow a v6 sedan to be that close to me.

Nope, not yet. Im gonna be taking off my winter wheels/tires tomorrow and putting on my summer tires/wheels. I'll prolly head out there sometime this month to get a base run. Hoping tp hit high 13s. It'll be my first time to the track, so I'm anxious too see what it'll do.
At the end of the year with 4.10s, stage 1 cams, and just a couple small bolt ons, I'm hoping to hit mid/low 13s.

We shall see!

Hey Blue...I went over to Gateway last Sat. I got five runs in..couldve had more. I managed to run a 2.149/60', 13.88/99.40 on my fifth pass(only one I managed to hook up on, still on original gatorbacks). The track was loose and cold..sun only came out for a few minutes.

Me and several club members are going Tues. the 4th of April and should have a few from FordsUnlimited as well. You coming on the 4th? Im taking the seats out for this one..

Tri State opened two weekends ago. Just northwest of Cincy. Ran 13.67@103.98 in the 1/4. That was on my 5th run.
Buddy of mine has 04 Cobra and ran a 12.46@114.
Stick race at Edgewater next weekend.

I wish I knew where the closest track was to me. When I used to live in TN there was one less than 15 minutes from my house. Now they're all at least an hour away. :wallbash:
