All signed in at Dragway 42 Ace Race.

[pittsburghracer]

Signed in and got my goodie bag. Gamblers race going on now which I didn’t enter as I got here a 3pm. Got some goodies and a nice Moser book. The band Trainwreck plays at 8pm tonight. If you make a pass tonight you won’t get a time trial tomorrow so I’ll get one all weekend which is fine by me. When you have 400 cars it’s race time. Probably mix up a cold one after the sun goes down and watch some racing.

Yes sir. They closed it up for 4-5 years and totally rebuilt it. Beautiful track. I’ll try to post some pictures later.

Awesome video. Good to see one refurbished in lieu of being shut down. Wish I lived closer. Enjoy your stay.

Not fond of the tow but I love the track. I already entered the carbon copy of this race next month. Very nice no box later this month that will be packed. Last weeks box, no box race put on by the same guy had over 500 cars for the weekend.

This is the race that is going on right now.

Bad day. Lol. I didn’t make it to early evening. Hopefully tomorrow or Sunday but the car had two good back to back runs so hopefully I have the steering fixed so I can get comfortable again. I was surprised to run a 6.09 and 6.08 in this heat.

Matt had a .006 light second round and ran under .003 against a 5.0 car. Man that’s hard to judge that speed
