It's $20 for a racer. Not sure about watchers. No riders allowed, i believe.

Weather is looking perfect for Weds night - 70 degrees and partly cloudy (which always bothered me as a statement, i prefer "mostly sunny")
Getting pretty excited to see if i can manually shift and come any near the published 1/4 miles times on this bad-boy. I am sure that i will miss the DSG (DCT for your bmwspeakers) tomorrow night! |

you pay at the front gate when you drive in. Go thru tech inspection then line up to race. Once you're in, you can do as many runs as you want/can.
It's in Epping NH. www.Newenglanddragway.com |

Massachusetts requires a 2nd class fireman license to operate a Power boiler. We are installing two 950 BHP (boiler HP, not brake) boilers at the moment, so I have to pass in order to work on them.

you were there? i was there from 5:30 until 7:38. i got in 4 runs before the longer lines and no other 1ers there bummed me out. I should'a got your phone number, i would've stayed longer. Sorry ! What time did you get there?
13.3 @ 107 13.4 @ 103 (stupidly shifted into 4th) 14.0 @ 97 with tons of wheelspin in 1st gear 14.2 @ 104 with tons of wheelsphin in 1st, 2nd and 3rd (friggin' left lane at NE Dragway sux) I was very nonchalant on the 13.3, just trying to put a target, not figuring how much wheelspin i'd be able to get if i really pushed it. I'll definitely go back again and try to break into the 12s. I figure i would've been a bit faster i didn't shift into 4th on my 2nd run. Figure a shift is about .1-.2 seconds? |
