1/8 mile timers are working, and bracket racing sounds like on sunday

While i know it isn't *actually* safer to have wider walls/rails, I know I feel a lot more comfortable when the wall is a safe distance away. I want to hit second gear like i mean it and not worry about nudging a wall. That video looks uncomfortably narrow. I wouldnt mind it so much if it narrowed at the big end where safety matters and had some space at the launch.

Burnout box doesn’t have much room

I’ll have to go check it out and get the lay of the land prior to running there again. I’m not interested in wrecking my car because the track is narrow. Though my car is most definitely not a big dog in the yard, I’m in agreement that the wilder the car, the more they drift around.

Good deal!

If I remember right they used to be open way back when on Friday nights. Or was it Wednesday and I'm getting confused in my old age??

I wonder if they would do a reasonably priced three hour Motown Rental on Saturday mornings. Those were fun at Milan until we got priced out of them.

x2 would be cool to do an MM rental again.
