Now that I found out what was making my car so slow (spark plugs and wires), I might be down for the track in the near future. What are the next dates?

Sorry guys, the season for california speedway just ended, so the only other place I know of is LACR in Palmdale, but everyone runs slow since it's such high altitude there.
From Cali Speedway site: "The final weekend of the Winter NHRA Street Legal Drag Racing Program on the speedway’s quarter-mile Street Legal strip is this weekend, March 9-10. Tech inspection begins both days at 7:00 a.m. The cost is $10 per person to enter the speedway and $10 for a Tech Card to race"
You guys should come to our socal dyno day to find out exactly how much power you are putting down.

Aside from LACR and Fontana, you also have Carlsbad, and Famosa in Bakersfield... They may be a little further drive depending on where youre coming from, but Famosas events are held during the evening so you dont have to worry about waking up at 5am to get a good spot. And Carlsbad has events every Saturday... Just a few suggestions

and even though LACR does suck for its high altitude, all you really need to do is deduct about .45 from your overall time. its fairly accurate for determining your 60' anyway. hell, that is basically the most important part of your 1/4 time anyway. we all need to work on our launching, and you usually can make more than enough runs in one night at LACR. last time we went there, it was considered a crowded night, but we easily made 4 runs could have had more. but the thing is we got there at about 7:30, when we were supposed to get there at 5:30. just some insight to LACR. yea, it sucks for the altitude but it is a pretty good place to work on launching.

Wouldn't mind hitting up LACR some night. They are held at night right? Even though it about 2 1/2 hours from me, I'm willing to show my venom fangs.}>

Yeah, LACR is Wednesday and Friday nights from 5-10pm. Get there at 5 on a Wednesday and you can drive circles around the track if you want. I think I got something like 5 runs within 30 mins, finally just had to make myself stop before I blew the car up Though not great for ETs, LACR is a great place to practice... plus you always have an excuse...
