    GLD Slicks Only night

    "All vehicles must run 11.99 or quicker to be able to compete.
    Track will be prepped and sprayed the whole quarter mile."
    I guess it does make things move faster as long as no one breaks. I think you guys will see alot less FWD cars draggin the tires thru the water to the starting line. Nothing But muscle at Slicks Only Night!!

    I knew nothing about this guys... I am working to get it straightened out.
    I like to race at the real street drags at GLD because it's legal and safe for everybody.

    I think it's a great idea. Although, if you are on the border (like Deanna) i'd go there and just say you are making "motor passes" setting up for the spray

    That is gay that they won't let DR's on the track. And why do the cars have to be 11.99 or quicker.

    i think it's because the slower cars that pull in with slicks usually break because of the track prep
