na should be in the mid 40`s here, last year a fella in a 64 nova run a 4.2 @ 171 @ 35 deg. track record but on the back up pass he stood straight up stayed in it come down got loose went in grass come out sideways n crossed right lane n smacked the guard rail , so he missed out on track record, it still stands at 4.62 @ round 162

I guess this is at Centerville ? I thought about loading up and heading down that way , but the weather forecast changed my mind

as much as i'd like to race i just cant go for this low 30's and 20-30 mph wind. how would you ever get heat in an alky motor?
