Rock Falls Raceway-Finally, I Got to Go Racing!! 6/11/11
Well it's been a tough Spring.
The track opened up April 9th, and if it wasn't the bad weather, or the tow rig giving me problems, it was something else.
So i finally got the car loaded up last Thursday night, and I finally got my sh*t together, and went racing!
It was a BLAST!!

It was a Muscle Car Shootout, and they put you in half second classes. So I ran in the 11.0 to 11.50 class. So we intentionally slowed the car down to the 11.0 mark, so the car would be more consistent, and boy was it!

Anyways, I had a ball, and I just thought I would share in my triumph of finally making it to the race track! Here's a few photo's and a vid!
