I might be there depending on the date, but it will be as a spectator only.
I did a few runs there last year and it was a blast, but I feel that the strip is a little too hard on a car that I rely on every day as a commuter car.

I made about 10 runs last year and the only way I could get a half decent launch was to slip the clutch a bunch.
Otherwise I would just “sit & spin” or the front end would HOP-HOP-HOP like crazy.
I just don’t feel it’s good for the car.
I know what it’s capable of and I don’t need a little slip of paper to prove it.
I want the car and the original clutch to see 100K.

I'd be down. I'd push a little more for early April so I can run with my summer tires. March may be pushing it since it's been known to snow much later then that
I guess worse case scenerio I can swap the tires out and back again if necessary. Hopefully we can run the 1/4 mile this time!!
