So what is happening in 09? Everyone always says PRI, PRI.... and then every year PRI comes and goes and we hear nothing! Or maybe I'm just out of the loop.

ADRL released their schedule at PRI, and NHRA Div. 1 has 7 races with 5 being very NE-local.

I've chosen to chase these dates as soon as the car is done, as well as any BOTI events that come along

8.60 for HR cars, it's a place to race though.

I don't see the problem with index racing, everyone knows whats allowed to be ran without killing the index so it's practically heads up IMO. Plus with us having boost, it's an awesome way to be really consistant and take down guys who are always a bit faster.

Look in the back of the National Dragster it says 8.20...then you have to race in a bracket style pro tree against all other comp cars. No Thanks

BB/AF 8.600 5.46

Right from the NHRA site, the 5.46 is the 1/8 mile

I'm gonna go run it no matter what, the crowds are still very good for Div. 1 races and it's all about the points to go to a full throttle race

Do you have any idea how consistant those cars are at that level?

At least your honest, those guys cut lights 0.01 and 0.02's all day long and cars are dead on everypass. Boost is going to be your biggest problem in a FWD, not your greatest advantage.

I'll be fine with the boost, we've got tricks for days

It will be easy once I learn the competition, these cars can be very consistent @ -.500 to the index when done right. Look at the examples out there right now

I want to make the show, that's the first goal. Anything after that is gravy. Same goes for ADRL, although a totally different ball game haha
