Got to the Atlanta dragway this morning around 9:45 or so I think. I don't really remember because my concept of time is so screwed up from waiting to race for about 3 or 4 hours. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> Everybody and their brother, sister, and cousin was there racing today. I got one run in. And it sucked too. Didn't wanna wait another hour or more to go again, so I left (around 2:30 or so).
Ugh.. remind me never to go to a race track on opening day again.
Supra Turbo smacked the wall... i'll have video of the aftermath up later. I was in my car back in the waiting line when it happened, so I didn't have it on tape. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> Sucks for that guy I reckon.

i ran a 13.8 at 105.X (?) The supra was the newest body style... Mk4 i guess.
There were a lot of cool cars.. a bunch of f bodies, corvettes, mustangs, and plenty of imports. Turbo Miata, supercharged prelude, and tons more stuff. I don't remember specifics about any of 'em though.
i watched the video I shot of the Supra, and I don't have a good shot of the body of the car up close (the damage). I'll put a short clip up later... It's gonna show the car in the middle of the track about 200 ft down or so. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> The car's front (all of it) and the right rear quarterpanel are both fux0red big time. BIG time mess w/ that car... Can't tell it from the video though.
