ABQ's drag strip opening day!

Is anyone going out to ABQ drag way's opening day this weekend? A couple of my friends(sti's, dsm's, and other faster cars then mine lol) are going to be going. I will be out there trying to beat their 60fts. I will probably do alittle tweaking to the suspension on the rear to try and hook my low hp lol.

How much does it cost? I might be out of town, but if I'm not, I can probably make it.

How did the day go? I spent the entire day aligning the front of the car, and it's still not right. Tomorrow I'm setting the ride heights, so I won't make it out.

The day at the drags was crazy. The lines were so long and the wait to get up to race was so long. I only got one run in. I ran a sad 17.7. The funny part was well besides that my NA 4 door saturn was faster. Well the one run I had was against my friends awd eclipse turbo. I had him beat all the way to the 60ft mark. Then he just drove around me.
