Default Support TR Events!

I know, I know... this is the Autox/Road Racing forum. I'm even the moderator and should be keeping a lid on such conversation.

But the TR crew is putting on a test & tune at the dragstrip, and they're looking for more entrants. If you're like me and have never been to the strip before, it might be a good opportunity to check it out.

They've done it before, I believe this is their 8th one. Sounds like a really good deal as far as drag racing goes, $35 gets you "unlimited" runs... in reality, you'll probably get 10-15, maybe 20 if you push it. Not bad, any way you look at it.

I figured since there's no autox action going on here until mid-July, maybe we could descend upon this event as a group and have some fun doing the straight line thing for a change.

The event is Friday evening, June 25th beginning at 6pm.
Full details are here:

Who's going?

Well, geez, if only people who thought their car's were special in a straight line showed up, they'd only have a dozen people!

I'll probably go. Been wanting to go for a while, just so I could say I did.

You'll get far more than 10-15 runs if you want them. There's never a line (except if someone breaks and they have to clean up/re-prep the track), and often times some really cool cars to see.

I'm with you there! But with no autox action here lately, I can justify it. It's starting to look like we might have a small contingent of Miatas coming out.

We're out to have some fun. The 1.6 guys are fighting to see who has the slowest Miata. We've got a guy with an M62 Supercharged Miata who's going out for the first time. That car should be pretty quick.

You're welcome to come out and laugh at us if you're afraid to run your own car.
