I decided at about 7:30 to go out to P.I.R. and race. I've been thinking about it all day long. Earlier I decided not to go and I filled my tank ($68 in case you are wondering). After watching some of last years races, I decided "what the hell." So I unloaded my car at the house, taking with me only a rachet set, pry bar and an alternator belt incase of a repeat from last time. I arrived at the track and was a little surprised that there wasn't a huge turn out. Probably because its Mother's Day weekend. It was rice city. 80% of the cars there were imports. After getting teched I lined up in the staging lanes. Here are my results.

Good times.. i know that it isn't easy at all to get these cars to move down the track.. Cut that sixty ft down if you're spinning out of the hole. My best sixty was 1.960 with some huge street tires and traction bars.
