i think this maybe why at the point its posted as once a mont or a month apart firstly to get a guide of how many cars will be there after a long hiatus from any form of racing being put on there and secondly maybe they want to get it right and being a month apart gives them alot of time to sort out any problems with the manning of the track and also track conditions as last i heard they'd just had a whole bunch of work done to the launch area and up to the 60ft marker?

i think alot of people will come out hopefully anyway!

iv'e got the night off and'll be there early to take some pic's from start to finish.
with the good weather it'll be a big night i'm sure.
anyone doing some lap's on the night ?
Cutting laps of chapps is what i'd normally do on a friday but with all the rubber stuck on the rear bar of the LTD after a few runs think it'd be best i just get home also to all make sure you have an overflow or bottle in its place like i do a helmet closed shoes/boots and check all levels and dont have yours tyres at 35psi like i did u dont get traction i dropped to 26psi still had traction issues but its now time for the stock ltd........ :yahoo:

they had a cutoff of 250 car's, alot only got a couple of run's !
it was good to be on the hill.... :grin:
alot of "comp car's" which make you think is it a "street meet" or test & tune ?
but it's good when ya on the hill to see alot of quick car's :P
they were saying, that because of the strong turnout it may go back to a "every other week" meet ?

"hiboost" had some rear end issue's....i snuck in a couple of pic's before he left.

Saturday 23rd Jan: Test and Tune and Qualifying
