It sucks on certain nights.I can't believe they charge the same to run on a Club 1320 as a test and tune and the prep isnt there on 1320 nights.Last thursday was due to the rain and the track absorbing moisture.

Nice...that's pretty healthy. It looks and sounds good too. I've been wanting to go out again but there's no point, my tiny turbo a POS stock IC do not like this weather at all.

A Borg Warner K03 Sport comes on the 06-08's, it's still small but it's bigger than the old K03's from the 1.8T. The 09's have an IHI turbo but I don't know the details on it.

I was out there a couple thursdays ago, I ran 13.72 @ 102.15 and 13.88 @ 103.75. It's the only track I've been to so I don't know if it sucks or not but the weather definitely has been sucking. Probably won't go back for 6 months or so when it cools down.
I saw some cars running some shitty times when I was there too though...GTO running mid 14's, new shelby mustang running 13-14's...

The other GTO guys were cutting 2.5+ 60's hence the horrible ETs.
ps - now that I think about it, sadly enough, I was the fastest GTO there that night.

I have to state, that I was NOT running mid 14s! LoL! All of the other GTOs were though!! I was running the 13.1-13.2 @ 107-110 with craptastical 2.1 60's.

eeeh nah. BMP is one of the better tracks I hear... I've only raced at BMP, but I've raced there a lot.
This is not directed at anyone at all, just my thoughts on the matter after hearing people bitch about "bad track prep" after parking their cars post run. IMHO too often people blame their poor driving skills (temporary or not) on lack of track prep. Im not letting the "bad track prep" excuse hinder my improvement, whether or not it's a factor. It's on ME to launch better, not the track.
ps - I think that I suck ass at launching and need lots and lots more practice... Only when I can cut consistant 1.7s on street rubber will I claim to have the "driver mod" or say anything about track prep. As is now I can only claim to shift like godzilla. (I've broken 2 OEM shifters thus far...)
