Sorry Guys.
Went all the way to the tack in Jedburg about 45 min drive. got lost once :/
only to get to the track as they close the gates saying "we're not opening it up today"
>:0
today was supposed to be opening day after 4 months of repair and maintenance.
SUPER BUMMED
But im going up next weekend so i'll post up then. :/

thats a good lesson for all- CALL tracks before you drive there
More than one person has gotten to a track and found a locked gate---when they should have been open~ arrrrgh
try trailering a car there and finding the track closed...for lack of calling ahead, that'll piss you off

Yeah this place is super ghetto lol its 5 bucks unlimitted runs. but yeah there is no call ahead really because once these people leave the office to go to the track there's no one to answer the phones lol. VERY informal.

no, the track is legit, its the paperwork and business side that is slack. they just opened up from the 3 months of maintenance trust me its in good shape.

locate a roadrace track and find out what fun in the TL really is
Stomping the gas is fun for 1000 feet,,,, but 3 miles of constant full throttle full braking and turning effort- with a pro race driver as your personal coach,,
its not 5 bucks but it is cheaper than the lowest speeding ticket- 200-250 bucks
Tip- when you ask other racers at the strip for tips they will always lie to you, leaving out some bit of information or leading you astray
There are many dvd racing lessons available- look on the internet!
the TL is 3600 pounds and takes time getting moving, get the longer distances and you can pull the ricers

Track was open today =D
went up around 4:00 stayed til about 1030.
saw everything from 4 wheelers and tuners to pro stock car pullin chutes. had at least 5k people so awesome turn out.
ran 5 times 3 times against my buddies TC, then against mazda 3 speed, and believe it or not a Mitsubishi Gallant VR4 (a real one)
I only lost to the VR4 and my best run was a 9.7 sec even with a bad reaction time.
all in all good day. i have pics to prove my run too......
