    should run alittle better talked to tci today converter was wore out not locking up so the 5.61 was with 2 dominators bad convertor and running racing gas

    car ran a 5.49 @ a 8.62 with alky and injector hat but was to hard to get consistant for bracket racing

    Looking at Bristols schedule this weekend is there last race of the season...bummer.
    Shadyside just outside of Asheville may be an option. This is Stephen Moores hometrack.
    Open every Sunday year round for TNT weather permitting. Nov. 10-11th looks like a good money bracket race.

    Nothing has been posted on their website in over a year, I called the track phone number and a Bracket Race is scheduled for Friday Oct. 19 and index racing on Saturday the 20th.
    Typically how many electronics cars would show up for these races?
    Not that I'm in any danger of winning anything but it would be nice to have the opportunity to cover my expenses.:burnout:

    Cherokee outside of Morristown looks like it will be the best bang for the buck the weekend of Oct.20th...called the track and actually spoke to a person...typically would have at least 40-50 pro cars...probably more now that Bristol is closed.
    I race here... http://www.midwaydragracing.net/
