Alabama Evo's -- Steele drag strip
My Bud and I went to the track for Friday night madness. It was a big crowd with the usual hot rods and lots of ricer imports and tons of bikes. the music was a blarring and the crowds were heavy at the start lines on both sides of the track. One big part atmosphere for sure.
I ran my personal best of 12.5 @ 111.4 with a 1.74 / 60ft. The track was slippery and getting worse as the night went on. My Bud did a 12.7 for his personal best to date. I feel we can do better when the track sticks better. We were all over the place in 1st and second. On 2 occassions I had to shut it down cause of getting sideways.
I anyone is looking for a fun filled Friday night come on out to Steele, the gates open at 9pm and they colse the staging lanes at 1am. So depending on the crowds you can get a good number of runs in. The cost is $10 to run all night. Hope to see you Alabama/Georgia people out there next Friday night. I'll be there trying to get my times lower, hoping to get a better launch and lower my 60fts.

We were going to Steele but found out they had some sort of bike night there. So instead we drove down to Montgomery t race there and as usual we got rained out. This was the second time to drive to Montgomery only to have a rain-out, we are jinxed when it comes to Montgomery. I sure wanted to lower my times, maybe next weekend.

Anyways, maybe I'll bust a high 14 in the 07VWGTI(haha).

BTW, it was a 12.6, not a 12.7 =). I'll have some more parts soon, so I might head back up there. I kinda feel that it's mute with this crazy heat recently ... no one on boost is going to be running well in this weather.
