Almost won again!!

Post by 383MERC »

Went racing nostalgia racing this weekend at Maple Grove Raceway and went five rounds. So darn close. Had the same dial on my car for all five rounds. The little 63 was deadly consistant again. I can't believe how well she's working. Maybe next time we go all the way like at the Ford Nationals.

I am pretty fortunate here in the northeast. I am within 2 1/2 hours of 7 different tracks.

Roy looks like Willow Springs is doing drag racing now http://www.willowspringsraceway.com/home/home.asp

Its old school 1/8 mile, no tree and limited to high 10s (I guess your out with your new motor 8) ). But its drag racing.
I think theyre trying to take up some of the slack that LACR left.
I might check it out just to see what shows up.
