Default Sears Point or Sac Raceway?

Which track will you usually get faster times? I've heard that sears point's track angles slightly uphill towards the end...but also been told that sac's track conditions suck. Anyone know for sure?

I plan on it but I don't think I'll run without a lsd. I'll do everthing I can to get Jerry's car out there. I want to see 11.5 or better.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed on your car.

Hey Rod bring the slicks lets see some 13's

My quickest times were within .01 on each track...not much difference. I have yet to run on the new surface at Sears Point/Infinion Raceway.

Hehe...I'll bust out the slicks once I get into 13s with street tires (plus I'm not too confident with the current clutch & a 7000rpm drop on slicks).

Last time in Palmdale, I was able to run 14.8...so I'm hoping for at least low 14 sec passes this wednesday. I'll let u know how things go.

My friend went up to Sears Point and lined up to race, he took his foot off the brake and his car started to roll backwards!!!

I know that's how it used to be...there was a seam for the concrete right at the lights...if you didn't pull far enough forward you ended up rolling backwards, I know it happened to me 1 time out of ~100 runs at Sears Point, although I did see someone once a week rolling back out of the lights.
