How many track passes this season?

How many times have you been down the 1/4 with your car in 09? I just counted all of mine: 83

yeah, i voted 16-30, mainly due to car troubles, and me having back surgery and not being allowed to drive it untill the heat was in full effect.

ill probably triple my number before the season ends now that its nice out

wow, you do not deserve to own a f-body. They are meant to be abused, and if built right, should last for many 1/4 passes. MY car's holding together, only thing I broke at the track this year was the posi, and it had close to 190K on it and I was dropping the clutch from 6K rpm for over 60 passes before it took a ****.

im pretty sure breaking a car at a track wont be covered by the warranty. the only reason i have the saturn right now is cause of the peace of mind of the warranty. i dont wanna risk jeopardizing that

The first option of the poll is 0-15. I use to do plently of it back in the day @ Etown w/ my old Lt1 cars. Still enjoy it, just really have no interest in doing it myself anymore. To the other big mouths the converters holding up just fine and I enjoy the mods I do everyday on the road, I dont need a drag strip.

that's why if it breaks you push it down the road, wipe the numbers off the windshield...etc.

I'm pretty sure AAA doesn't pick u up at the track, but they will pick u up outside the track
