The 5 month hibernation is almost over. I'm ready to come out of my cave and go foraging for ricers again. ;) Hope to see a big Jeep turnout this season too! I know there are some new builds in the area (including mine), so they best turn out and show us what they've got or we'll be handing out the Chicken Cards... :rolleyes:

The first T&T is Saturday, April 9th. There are two more the next weekend Sat 16th and Sun 17th. Gates open at 8 AM, and first runs at 9 to 9:30. The Wednesday CSP "Take it to the Track" nights kick off on the 20th at 4:30 PM. Entry fee has risen to $35 this season, but it could be worse.

Here's the 2011 Schedule.

Don't be shy!

Thanks bud! I hope it does, but also hope it doesn't. Haven't got my head around losing the rear seat yet. But the idea of turning it into a van is interesting. ;)

I will be there for few runs for sure.

Do I need the helmet or not?

You don't need a helmet unless you run faster than 14.0, or have an aftermarket power adder. At which point you'll have to have a fire retardant jacket too. They rent helmets for $5 a day. Not sure about jackets. What mods you got? Unless you've got a blower or nitrous you'll be running 14's. Altitude sucks!

Sure hope so bro! Hittin' the Superflow Monday morning so I should have a better idea where I should be afterwards. I'll have to see if I can borrow a cellphone from someone so I can get you and Jim my number. I'm boycotting AT&T. ;)

Well there's an advantage to that as well. I find the helmet and jacket hot and uncomfortable. 90 degrees with the windows up and no a/c is not the fun part of racing. But the adrenaline rush more than makes up for a little discomfort. ;)

I agree with this...like waiting for the green light in a motorcycle with full leather suite...
