Eric, the track opens at 9 so we'll be trying to leave East Bumscrew somewhere between 7 and 7:30. Don't really need to get there too early since I'd like for the temperatures to warm up a bit before trying to get traction. I'm anxious to try my new Mickey Thompson drag radials but I'll also be bringing my old BFG drag radials, just in case the MTs don't do it. The MTs are a couple inches shorter and narrower but everything I've read is very positive. The shorter tires will lower my trap speed, but I don't care too much about that anyway. Just as long as I get there first.
