    Haha, more like it may have finally pierced my wallet. I just want to get a Predator and do a CMR tune for a little extra edge you know, without doing this to the car :stretcher:

    It's a slippery slope my friend. VERY very slippery.... :harhar:

    Did the track actually open? I figured with the weather, there was no way it opened. Tri-state is opening this coming weekend, weather permitting.

    Winter won't quit, there's snow on the ground right now and I doubt this weekend will give us a chance either. I'm scheduled for my CMR tune tomorrow so I'm not ready yet anyway.

    Comp T/A and I did get to se ethe new Challenger this weekend though, it's very nice. Saw the G8 too, not a bad vehicle at all.

    I just got off the phone with Edgewwater, weather permitting test & tune will be on Friday, if not Friday then on Saturday...and then if not Saturday then on Sunday. If the weather allows a Friday or Saturday test & tune then there will be a race event on Sunday.

    It would be really nice if the test & tune got pushed all the way back to Sunday because it looks cool with a 1030 high building in. I think the weather will allow for a Friday night test & tune however, it looks rainy early and then dry for the afternoon and evening. It will probably not be a great air day with the forecast barometer below 1010. Saturday looks rainy, especially early.

    What do you guys think? The woman on the phone said they would try to make a plan tomorrow(Thursday).

    If they test & tune Sunday - I'm in!

    If they test & tune Saturday - I'm in depending on what times they run.

    Update this thread as you learn more if you would.

    Oh boy fellas, check out the top of the homepage:
    http://www.edgewaterrace.com/

    Test and tune will be on Sunday 11am to 4pm. I think it's $15 to get in. Partly cloudy, 1025+ barometer and temps in the lower 40s! At an elevation of 500ft or even less, we're talking mineshaft!!! DA could be less than -500!

    Latest DA forecast:

    Track elevation: 492 ft
    Barometer guess: 1027 mb or 30.32 in
    temp: 42
    dew pt. 27

    DA = -932 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Winds NNE 10-15, and the track runs WSW...so that's kind of a tail wind!

    Hello...knock, knock, knock...JMatt are you home? I think Mike is going to go.

    15 pound FULL bottle of nitrous is riding around with me right now. Fully prepped, ready to go. Good test run for Indy next weekend.
