Default Irwindale Speedway 4.30 anyone?

I am heading out to Irwindale this Thursday night and was wondering if anyone else will be out there from the board?

I've got a major itch to go, but money and time are way tight at the moment. But in case I decide to go at the last minute, what will you be rolling in?

I unfortunately can't make it either. I probably won't make California Speedway this Saturday too. I will try to get the one at the end of the month though. Too much to do and too little money

Don't knock it til you've tried. Especially if you dirve a manual, all the tough parts (launch and shift) are in the 1/8th. And if you drive a fast car, you're moving by the 1/8th.

What do you mean? Are you talking about Auto Club Dragway in Fontana that is just 5 miles from me?

I would assume he ment 1/8 mile Irwindale track and not the 1/4 mile Fontana(California Speedway) one.

Although both traks are having a "street legal drag day" tonight according to their websites. I would consider going to Fontana if others were going

Im just not a fan of the whole 1/8 mile meaning anyting than how good you are at launching. I could care less if there is a car that can blow away anyone in the 1/8 but then turns in a less than steller 1/4 time... in the real world that car would get killed

I was asking you if you were referring to Fontana as being BFE. I also don't care for an 1/8 mile track but it's better than not being able to run. Besides it's open every Thursday unlike Fontana that is usaully only once every month or two. I'll be trying to get out to one of the two tracks with the Cobra once I get my suspension finished and the Vortech rebuilt. I need to practice my launch on my street tires.
