Hey everyone. For anyone that doesn't know me, I'm the guy that set the event up. I know there are some things that need to be addressed for this event. Trust me, I'm working on it to make it better next year. We have almost a whole year before the next one and I still have my work cut out for me. Just bear with me and I'll do everything I can.

As for the track shutting down, it was sooner than I'd have liked but, I already knew they weren't going to turn the lights on. It was out of my hands.

Flaco, I personally apologize that you didn't get more runs than you did. I know it was a short event for you to drive that distance but, I'm glad you came. Your attendance will make the event bigger next year. Folks come to see the fast stuff and your **** is fast bro! Again, I wish I could have done something to make it longer this time but, it was out of my hands.

Next year we are planning a two day event. Friday night TnT and running the event Saturday. Sunday will be a rain date. We have a tentative date of Nov. 18, 2011. Stay tuned for info as the year goes on. If any of you have any comments or suggestions, send them my way and I'll check into them.

Thanks to all!

The first time is always the most difficult, you'll get it lined out and running reat Im sure. If you and your Ford buddies didnt get enough racing action, head west in February there are a few pretty good track events coming up.

I've got 2" drop spindles in front and 4" drop leafs in the back which are way too soft. The springs bottom out if I hit a bad bump around town. I'm changing to a 4" shackle and hanger setup with the stock leafs this week. Hopefully this will help out a little. I'm building maybe a pound or two off the line. I just noticed a small exhuast leak which might be stopping me from building more boost off the line.

Yeah man, I'm hoping that will help out as well.
