It's like $3 more to race. If anything, pay the $3 extra so you can park in the Pits.

i just don't want to race my car because i don't even have 1000 miles on the odometer yet. i don't need to throw a check engine light for whatever reason.. neways, can you just park in the pits and not race? if so, maybe i'll do that.

Yeah, if you pay $13 you can race or just park in the pits.

Still, how many miles are on the car? If it's 1-200, I'd say not to run it, but if you're past 750 or so you have nothing to worry about.

Seriously, most modern engines break in within 20 miles of driving. No worries.

its doesnt really matter wether its 500 or 1.5k miles your not gonna throw a cell just by racing an unbroken in car.

Good point, but generally I'd put at least 700 miles on a car before really beating on it.

Hey what up man!

Yeah launching the FC is not fun. Get alot of wheel hop? Bring that 60ft down and you should be in the mid to high 13's. Sounds like its running good though.

No wheel hop thankfully, just bogging, or spinning. I'm probly gonna practice my launches and go back next friday. If I dont do it then I'll just wait for my fmic to arrive :cool:

yeah, i got there at 8:30, and waited in line till 11:30, and didn't get on run in. :thumbdow: first a 1st gen dsm broke down, then a mustang blew antifreeze all over the right lane. it was a total let down.

If that 1st gen was black and had an older gentleman in it, that was the guy from my local club chapter who ran 11.02
