I'm no longer in the wanna be, heads up, career tnt category!!!! 
Drove up to my folks for the weekend and decided to drag the Camaro along and enter Pro (no electronic class) and Sportsman(trophy for slicks class) at my old hometown track. I went 4 rounds in Sportsman before turning on the red. I then went 6 rounds in Pro getting into the finals. Ended up taking out the #3 points leader in the semi's. Then went on to take out the #1 in points in the final!!! Some of it was certainly luck........I'd rather be lucky than good though!!!
I've got to say the most rewarding thing for me was figuring out how to get my 9" radial slicks to bite on a very marginal surface. I blew the tires off in time trials several times before figuring it out. Ended up adding 100 lbs to the trunk, took out 1.25 turns of rebound in the rear shocks and dropping the pressure all the way down to 18 lbs. After that it dead hooked 9 straight passes.
Weighed the car at the track last night and it weighed right at 3600 lbs with driver/ballast. My quickest ET was 6.31 (off the gas) DA was 1900' (67.4*, 75.8%, 30.06, and 1000 ft track) elevation.
