Timeslips are in the truck, but the thing is completley stock save for a K&N filter.  2007 XLT 4X4 Supercab with the 5.4.

Yeah.  THAT was ridiculous.  I will not be T&T again this year.  Just crewing on a couple of Drag Radial cars on the heads-up night races.

If you ever come out for them, let me know.

LOL, we have been $25.00 for TnT for the last three years (up from $20.00). On most TnT nights you can get a best of 3 passes, 4 if everything goes perfect, and typically a best of 5 if the weather looks bad or something else is going on that cars dont show up. Pretty tought ot really test with three passes :(

On a regular barcket day, you can run our "trophy" class for $20.00, the track is RACE prepped, and you are sure to get three passes (2 time trials + 1 round eliminator). Get a little lucky and you can get some more runs by going rounds. To race street here its $30.00 ($400.00 to win), Top and Mod (box / no box) is $45.00 racing for $1000.00 to win.

Its expensive for sure. I was able to cover my 1099 for this year with just entrance fee's for racing / TnT, and I had a decent year ;)

I could have had 5-6 passes, but I was helping some people on a D/R car...

That's why I love PIR. I average a dozen passes on $25 T-N-T night ;) Best night ever (and the track record) is 30 passes.

There was a club that was called FME.  When they rented the track, I got 37 passes in one night in my '97 GT.  And I could have had 10-15 more if I wanted.  THAT was awesome!

I was for 1 year.  Never did anything with them except the nights at Milan.  Does it still exist?

The club is still active.  Go to http://www.teamfme.com.  They are still doing the Milan events, but with changes in Milan's rental rates, they have modified their schedule (see info on website).

I was a member for 4 years, but was not very active in the club.  I attended a few of dyno session when they were at Paul's High Performance in Jackson and some of the Milan nights.
