Your track having timing issues that day or is it the norm for them to only print the 60’, 1/4 and mph?
They're using a wireless timing system these days, so due to costs and also possibly setup time constraints, they're only setting up for the 60', finish line and MPH.

Thanks Brian - I may sneak out at dawn and head down there with the nice weather! May be the last run before I begin install of the Vintage Air system...

Are you going? What car?

It's usually wrapped up by 10-10:30am. They're calling for sunshine and a high of 60 Thanksgiving Day so it looks like the weather will cooperate. I've been down there when it was 70 and we were sweating in our winter jackets, and I've been down there when it was colder than a well diggers butt in the Klondike with spots of salt on the roads here and there.
Was there that day … 27 degrees… was told it was over 300 cars….

I'll either be in the Can Am or in my "new" lowered two-tone brown '94 GMC. I won't be rolling out until after 7am, which will put me there after 8am.
