I was wondering if anyone was planning on going to the open strip at Bradenton/DeSoto this Thursday? I am going to be making my first passes in my TR and I was wondering if there would be any of yall to associate with while I am there. Thanks

Well, i was in doubt if they would have it open because of the rain. I called the track and they said those rained out last week could bring their slips and get in free. They didnt say anyhting about it being canceled. So I drive 70 miles to the strip and no ones there. Talk about being bummed out. So I just laid a nasty patch in the driveway through 1st and 2nd for about 75feet. Maybe next time I will get a run in.

I was surfing the web saturday around noon and I got on the Bradenton Speedway Site and to my benefit they had T&T from 10-3. I called em up and they said I could run. So I kamikazed up there with my brother and my friend. Got there around 230 and barely made it in. There wasnt a line at all. So I was able to make 4 runs in 30 minutes with 5 minute cool downs. Even though they were horrible conditions (110F on the track and wicked humidty) I still got the best/only slips in my TR. I expierented with (D) verse D. I put a gallon of 110 in her(all I could afford). My Best run was:
*14.271@94.02mph...60'=2.047

It was slower than what I had predicted, but with the heat and with no pressure in my bags due to a blown bag I figured it was okay.
