My AFR/FTI Combo has been up and running for almost 8 weeks now...I have been absolutely DYING to get it to the track. Dyno numbers are all nice and pretty, but track times are what I'm about.
Well...one of the car clubs I've been a member of for years since I was in College had rented out one of the drag strips here in Indiana for Saturday May 1st. We had about 40-50 people coming to it and the entire track was ours for all morning and afternoon. ALL WEEK LONG THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT. I wake up at 6am on Saturday morning and the air is very cool and the roads are dry...perfect for racing. Long story short...it's about 3 hours total driving to get to the track and when we were about 20 minutes away the sky opened up and rain started pouring. Track rental was cancelled and now is going to be rescheduled in the Fall. I was SO bummed because I've been so looking forward to this and my car was ready to go tear off some impressive times.
So...I figured if that didn't work...I'd hit up the regular T&T that night after the roads dried up. Well...it kept drizzling just enough for that to be rained out too.
Fast forward to tonight. There is a Street Legal Drag Night at one of the tracks here in Indy. Even though its a ricer-fest and usually very busy...I decidied to go just to get myself a timeslip as I can't wait any longer. Sunday and Yesterday weather was perfect...cool and dry. 2 hours before I'm going to leave for the track from work today....yup...here comes the rain. Event Cancelled.
So I ask...why do the Track God's Hate me??? Guess I"m going to have to wait until at least next week...where I"m sure if it isn't raining it'll be at least in the 90's with lots of humidity
Ok...my ranting is over now...thanks for listening

but I know a lot will depend on weather, track prep, etc... For the first time out with the combo, I don't want to set the bar too high.
