Awesome Jeremy, I'm part of the "Southern Classic Funny Cars" group now, we run on a 4.90 index and do match races in the southeast USA, would like to get my funny car buddies to come and race there, and was very disappointed by the lack of track prep, don't get me wrong I love that track and want to support it (I live 3 miles up the road) moved my whole team here just to race there, we are finally getting the Vette body on it (at our sponsors request) should be back out in December, will call you, and give heads up, when its a little closer. In the mean time you get better, our track needs you, thanks Mike---- P.S. congrats on YOUR new sponsor as well !!

Mike -

I will let you know if it helps any, that at the Import event that we just held we had 2 cars that were in the Pro/Super Pro class, and they were dialing and running aroun 4.87 and the track held...

I would love to get things set up to where we can have an event that would feature you guys in conjunction with some others. How many people are you talking about that would be at an event?? How do you all run your program? Do you lease the track, or do you come in like a regular event run by the track ?

Hey Jeremy, I saw cars in the 4's on Nov 3 (I was at hooters cup, watching drags with binoculars during caution flags) looked like they were getting down there pretty good, so we made plans to come on thurs. Here is the video of that run:

Wow... that is pretty impressive...

I guess the best thing I can say is that I will look into that when I get out of the hospital, BUT thank god that we decided that the track needed to be 3 ft wider on each side... just think the white line was the OLD WALL!!!! Could have been a lot worse. Good driving!!!! We will get to the bottom of that.

No worries buddy!!!
