lol didn't he just get a mini sprint? looks like ennis is going to be closest to me!

Yep.

If I'm going to make a recommendation, go to the Lonestar Sprint Nationals for all 3 days. 3 days of racing, and not a fender in sight? RACING GODS HAVE BLESSED ME! lol

Besides, I'll need some extra help getting the car ready in between race nights.

Aaaah. Methanol actually has less chemical energy than gasoline does. We run it because it's a more stable fuel, and has a really high octane rating (118-120). For instance, I see a lot of people saying they set their timing at 10* base with an undetermined amount of advance. I set my timing at 34* base, with no advance.

Edit: I see people set 10* base on street cars running pump gas. I've got no clue what the avgas/racing gas guys set theirs at.

Yep this is how most racers do it. lock the timing out, saves from having problems with stuck advances, etc and losing power.


Do you ever travel to oklahoma? I am from Ardmore, my dad and uncles raced at Lake Country Speedway years ago, have about 10 championships between the 3 of them. Also have tons of family in okc that race modifieds at the state fair speedway.

I raced in Ardmore once or twice a year up until a couple years ago when new promoters took over and stopped booking the SST for the SST's last show of the year. I always did like that track. It's shaped similar to Williams Grove, but shorter. I still remember the first time it felt like my helmet was about to come off going down the front stretch. I learned to tuck my chin from that point on at that track.

HAHA yea last time i was out there, the track conditions sucked ass. Was extremely dry slick before the first feature even began. they really need to rip up about a foot of material and bring in fresh dirt. very expensive, yes but it needs it.. I would love to get back in a car!!! But right now finances are just not where they need to be for me to do that..

i wanna race car so bad if my mustang didn't mean so much to me i would sale it and buy one!

The only way it's going to happen is if you bite the bullet and do it. Much like kids, if you keep saying "I'll wait till I get XX amount of money" you'll never do it. JMO, of course.
