Probably not, I don't really know of any tracks close to me.

I will have some 1/8 mile times. I might go to Pensacola down the road but not sure. I will post some times if I do go.

1/8th mile times might not give you a good representation of the actual power gain from the N20 because of limited traction. If you use the Nitrous when you launch, you're likely to spin the tires quite a bit, losing time in the process. The N20 would probably should better results if activated in 2nd or 3rd gear and used to increase your trap speed at the 1/4 mile. You think???

I was at Byron last weekend. I know they'll be open this weekend. Bryon is pretty close to Chicago, closer to you than it is to me. Cordova will also be open this weekend, that's near the IA/IL border.

Last weekend at Byron, there was a decent import showing, so the track decided to have two lanes dedicated for imports and 4-bangers. They even set up a trophy race for that group.

I'd like to the track again this weekend, but I'm sure the wife wouldn't be happy.

Wow, I don't know what you consider close, but Byron is 100 miles/2 hours and Cordova is 160 miles/3.5 hours from me. I had to look it up since I've never heard of either place. I live within spitting distance of Lake Michigan, so the IL/IA border isn't exactly close to me.

Yeah, I'd say Bryon is close to you. It took me 5 hours to get home last weekend. I'm even considering going back this weekend. Desperate for 12's. I'm not exactly sure where US41 is, but that might be even closer. Not sure if they're still open though.

How much longer until the ZEX system is installed?

The order is being placed right now. I'm guessing it will be another two weeks before I get it.
