				 |  Fernley Drags in June? 
			
			Anyone still hitting the drags out at Fernley? I just heard that its full 1/4 mile and am debating on going up that way to click off a few passes for the event next month as I already missed this one.  I need to fix my clutch issue, but I definitely want to hit it up.. let me know if anyone else is up for going.

			91 Toyota Pickup 2wd. Its now my project vehicle i suppose, it needs some work tho. It has almost 400k on the odo, everything in it is original, including the current clutch... 400k on a clutch... yeah, do the math.

			Let me know how that track works out for you.  Last time I was there, it looked like the 1/4 mile portion of the track went slightly uphill, so I don't know exactly how accurate it is.

			Yeah, when we used to go out there a while back, when it was still 1/8th mile with no tree or time slips, it was definitely uphilll.  It made launching embarassing until someone let me in on how to actually get a good launch on it.  I think that area is now the runoff area, but I cant be sure.

			I don't think drag racing is unpopular here; and although I don't have the car to be able to participate myself, I'd still like to get out there sometime to watch.  But then, schedules are pretty full right now and I think alot of us are in that state, so it's hard to justify the 1.5 hr round trip out there to watch.  Maybe for me, later in the summer.
