FFW New England (Epping NH)

Whos going??

Also, i live about 20 minutes away if anybody needs a garage to do some fine tuning or cleaning and such. Dons Bolt and Tallimeca know where i live.

Anybody need any advice on resturants , lodging and such. Just like anywhere, there are luxury spots or just cheap motels like i use when im on the road.

I will be there, I have been working on my truck the past few day

Reinstalled my traction bars, flushed and bled my brakes, flushed the power steering, changed the oil, made some new bushings for my rear Veri shocks, and last but not least, got a brand new set of slicks for the weekend.

Ya Ray has a nice garage, big wide doors, and lots of room to work on a truck. Hopefully no one will brake and need to use the garage, but nice to know it is just 15 minutes away.

not attending

sorry to all you guys i usually get to see at FFW, but I won't be there.

I don't have the cash, and I have tuning issues that never got straightened out , so honestly, I just gave up. I'm putting alot of stuff back to stock and just driving the truck. It's just not as fun spectating as it is participating.

Not to mention the newest issue of some bad chattering noise when i'm in drive and sitting at a light. I can't find anything and i think it's the convertor. Hate to have it go while racing.

Hope everyone has a good, safe time!!!

Ya you will.

I met your father tonight.He is a cool dude. I ran tonight on street tires with crappy traction but i had to practice on my light for don and his wager

I ran 12.7s and 12.8s all night @107

I think my truck is capable of 12.20s to 12.30s with slicks.Truck was consistant though which will be good for this weekend.

Could not hook up at all tonight. Those times were with 2.05s and 1.97 60 fts. I ran 1.7s with my 02 with slicks.

Oh yea donny baby. I was cutting .530 lights all night . Thats was with all the stress of trying to ease into the throttle too! Cant wait to have slicks so i can get those .505 lights again LOL Cant wait to collect $20, pass go, and get a stay out of jail card
