alright thank you, if its mostly import V domestic, i'm def going lol

youll just have to make sure youre there in time to catch round 1 of eliminations, because in the later rounds it'll be a lot of domestic vs domestic haha

My name is Jim. I didn't race much last season. Ran street on Sundays 2 years ago with the mustang. I no longer have a vette and don't usually do the "fun" races at RP on Saturdays. I'm very interested in chatting with you about bracket racing. If its cold that day I will be hidding in the mustang sitting on the heated leather seat.

On a side note the imports may have a ringer this year. A 17 second honda. Guy just picked up the car last September, took it to the Div 1 finals and went 5 rounds in Pro. Was driving a black C4 prior to the honda. If he shows up he will be pitting on the right side of the finish line. Uses the building there as his personal car port.

His name is Frank Maffiore, he is an excellent driver and a great guy to talk to. He can win in anything, even his Toyota Minivan! He is the reason why I won in my Pick up.

Frank is a great guy. On the last day of points in the '07 season, I was feeling a bit upset after a disappointing day. Frank came over and told me I did a good job. Those words really ment a lot to me.

I actually lost to him in one of the Street Wars races last year, like 3rd round or something. He was .005 and ran dead-on. I was a conservative .080 stereotyping his car but I wasn't gonna run dead-on anyway. That sucked. lol

For the points brackets I usually set the car up for a conserative .020 and hold enought to make sure I can cross the stripe first. I either cross first by .010-.019 or dump in the box and give my opponent as much finish line as I can reel out. I had Frank 2nd round in street that last day of points in '07. We were both .019 and he was .02 over and I was .01 over for the win. I was holding .04 and backed into him on the top. I needed that win against him in that round and an overall win to knock him out of qualifing. I lost in the quarter finals of street by going -.010 red. Frank went to the Div 1 finals and I got a jacket. lol. I was also running pro that day (first time running pro in the stang). I was "hunting" Frank in street while all the runners were hunting me in pro. It's a tuff day when your round one opponent is Jim Young. Didn't get any easier competition. I mananged to get by Andrew Bracuto in round 4 again with a .020 and backing in to go dead on. Track announcer called that run the upset of the season. Winner of round 5 got the bye run for the semi finals and a trip to the finals. I was holding .02 on the dial. I was .021 on the tree to his .040 and fubared the run by missing my drop spot. I took stripe by .04ish and broke out by the .02 I was holding. I was a sad puppy sitting in the pits after that run. That's when Frank came over for a chat.

I don't think i'll be racing but weather permitting I'll be there.

As long as the weather is nice, we'll be there. The wife will be making her racing debut! Since I will probably miss the first few weeks of points, I'm not signing up until the second half. I'm going to have her enter Street with the T/A.

Right now it sucks but just look at this forecast for the 6th.

I don't trust the weatherman that far out. But yeah even just with whats on the ground now its in question. I'm down if it's open though

Might show up to spectate alittle....

There is no actual list up here and I am itching to go race, so Ill start. Who is going(weather permitting)? Caravan down?

1. mc73nova +1

I'll go but probably no caravan because I'm nowhere near you haha

I will absolutely be there if the event is on.

The pony finally freed himself from the icy glacier. Ice and snow is slowly disappearing from around my neighborhood. I actually drove the car to work today. All I need to do is throw on the drag radials. Everything is still in the trunk from last season. I'm not looking at the forcast until Friday. Hopefully Saturday will be a go for racing.

This is tomorrow, see y'all there.

Nice meeting you. FYI I self destroyed in the 3rd round with a -.023 light against the 2009 Div 1 street champ. I will be chewing on that round for a few days. I just jumped on the tree and didn't wait for the yellow. duah.

You too!
