Question 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.

But, what are you driving these days?

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.
