Last night was opening night at New England Dragway. It was awesome! Soooo many people were there, both racers and spectators. Even a few nice cars showed up, such as a twin turbo 350Z, an 11 second first gen Eclipse, and a supercharged Crown Vic Police Interceptor!
After the 8PM intermission things really got interesting! The track cooled down A LOT and traction became a huge problem. It was to the point that all-wheel-drive car were launching off the line sideways. The highlight was a BMW that lost control mid track. The car spun half way around then whipped back in the other direction. The driver had no control, was just on the brakes and doing god knows what with the wheel. As far as I know, he didn't hit the wall. If he did it was very minor. There were a few other close calls, but this one was by far the closest!
Corinne and I went with Jay and Kim, and we met up with my buddy Matt. We met two other 240 owners, one of which had actually been to our old house to buy parts off me!
