I've got a guy that says he'll pay me $100 if I can get a sub 13 second timeslip so that's my goal this spring. I'm hoping to see some breakin runs at the new track they are building at fort macleod by fall as well.
Just a fyi for southern alberta peoples, I talk quite frequently with the secretary/treasurer and they have the land bought. That's right all 86 000ish has been raised and the paperwork has been submitted for the available government grants. A couple local companies have said they'd sponsor lanes once it's up and running, of course the more donations the quicker the ball can get rolling. So to all the nay-sayer's it IS happening and not 10 years from now. The plan is for a 1/4 mile track that meets nhra regulations, along with stands, a tower with bathrooms, meeting rooms, concession, etc. They also have the plans to eventually make the 1/4 a straightaway section of a roadcourse. Along with that is plans for an RV park and possibly a storage facility. For more info the website is tailwindraceway.net

I just wanna get out to as many car shows as possible this year. Last year sucked. Many wednesdays were rained out or crappy weather. The turn outs were ok when it was nice but have been better. Then I was always to busy on the weekends for some of the other shows. This year will be better!
