If it was a weekend I'd try to go... lately been busy

unfortunately they only have open racing on wed/fri nights. Weekends would be awesome but if you can go on a friday night you will see a ton of good cars there. I have been going a few times a year for over ten years and you never know what you will see there.

That's not true, they have test and tune sessions on weekends as well. I always go to the weekend sessions because the track is usually treated, it's way less stressful to get there in the morning rather then 5p.m. on a weekday, you take your time and get way more runs in and you get to see some cool cars in different class races run all day.


Sitting in traffic to make 2-4 runs on a weeknight, sitting around while they clean fluid off the track from some beater breaking and driving home late lost it's cool for me many years ago

Drive 2 hours and then find out they closed the track. Sux

They dont have a FB page or email list that they send track closures through? The track closest to me updates both when weather arrives or something else.

Sello

Yeah we checked before we left it wasn't closed till we were almost there,

CUTigers

Dang

interesting, I have never seen weekends on their schedule but I probably missed it. ...Looks like they have one in july. How is the turnout? I always liked friday night because their are always a lot of awesome cars and I enjoy watching almost as much as racing

Sello

Chrisp u must just had a bad night, a friend of mine likes to go on Wednesday cuz he says he can get 20+ runs in

chrisp1

I could have kept running over and over but I didnt as I felt I reached my stock potential when I went on friday night

Weekends are good if you like taking your time and spending the day. The turn out is usually pretty big for the class races going on but the test and tune turn out can vary. You see more 9-10 sec. muscle cars in the test and tune on weekends. I've had a lot of experiences like Sello just had over the 15 years I've been going on week nights. Trying to end my work day early and fighting traffic to get up there during the week is just to much stress for me. I have rarely ever had the nights where you can run laps during the week. Usually when I have it is because the weather is less then optimal and that is why the track is empty.
Sometimes you can gamble with the weather and win big but most of the time you loss.....gamble being the key word here.


NED is really bad about this. Your lucky you didn't pay and get inside the gate before they closed. Even if you don't make a single run the best they will do is give a rain check. One time I waited an hour to make one run due to weather and then sat there for 3+ hours while they cleared a wreck and then monitored weather. They shut it down in the end and would not even give me a rain check because I made one run 3+ hours earlier. I sat around for most of 5 hours but that one run was good enough for them to refuse even a rain check.


If you guys ever want to go on a weekend I would join you with the F or the Supra. I did headers and suspension for Laoreflxzn ( a member here) last year and we did a weekend test and tune and then headed over to the Dyno in the afternoon. It was a fun day but it would be nice to see more then my record of 2 ISFs in the same place! I'm sure he would be down for it as well.

I may be headed to Boston in July/August, will let you northern ISF's know. We can have a meet on the weekend I am there. According to NEISF there are only 8 total ISF's in RI + MA combined.....talk about RARE!

Sello

Rcb u wanna do my headers as well?
