Onward and Westward
 

Ok......things are well in Wertman land (for the moment) We WILL be heading west, depending tommorow on how thing look we MAY still even be able to make Houston, BUT I dont think its prudent (not to Go well go and Mandie and I (and my dad when he gets in) will enjoy the race, gain some knowledge and generally hang out.

Testing, well thats where I want to make sure we "do it right" Where, out westish, either on our Journey or along the way before Vegas might we able to get a couple days in ?

Even if it means not hanging out a Houston thats ok....Id rather be testing that testing other people nerves at Houston by sitting in a lawn chair watching Mandie get a suntan :eek::D:eek:

But....well any "en route" testing locations / facilities that pop to mind ?

Cheers

Chris

Chris. If it were my dime, and I wanted to in "Killer mode" when I get to next national or divisional meet, I would take the time to test at Dragway 42 and National Trail this week and next week. From their I would go directly to Indy for the Div points meet, which starts on Friday 4/23, and probably has a test and tune day on Thursday 4/22. I think that the next national meet is the hext week at St. Louis, If you are determined to go to Vegas, fly out, take this weekend off, blow the money on the tables that you would spend on the road expenses....And then test next week and go to Indy. Thin you will want the Indy Points for later in the year. But that is just me. And I don't know a whole lot as I am now a "class racer in remission". Myron Stutes Was NHRA 3195 N/S Stick, L/S stick,. K/s stick.

Re: Onward and Westward
 

You could do any of the above or just come to the NHRA National Open this week at Atco , NJ -- test and tune Thursday run by the track along with NHRA National Record runs then race on Friday , Saturday and Sunday before you head West .

Re: Onward and Westward
 

I wanna go WEST....lol.....Actually the old man already made plans to fly into Houston on Saturday so he could rent a car and make a couple hr trip and meet us....that was the "thinking"

Re: Onward and Westward
 

There is test/tune Friday in Vegas, Test/tune plus Stock/Superstock Combo testing plus brackets Saturday. I believe also Test/tune Thursday ( Check ). As always your welcome to use our shop and equipment! Everybody out here is anxious to meet you You could get in 3 days testing Also Sunday bracket time trial and S/SS eliminations plus Thursday does have Test/Tune I believe. Checked today NOT hursday testtune....track said they are not allowed to have test/tune for 10 days prior to Nat'ls unless part of another booked program...News to me.

Re: Onward and Westward
 

Hmmmm....that wouldnt be bad but I dont think Id get there till Saturday....and dead tired at that.

Its an option, the old man probably wouldnt mind staying there in Vegas, hes cleaning up at the tables.

AND I forgot I owe you and yours dinner.

Well see....Id love to be able to get that far West by Friday....
