This is the last weekend of the racing season until next April... :(

And it looks like rain... In a very short time it will be the Mach to bed for the long, cold winter. Nothing like making payments on a parked car. :rolleyes:

Pssttt ... If you move south, you don't have to deal with that nasty snow and ice much, and you don't have to leave your babies parked near as long ;)

It's a bummer for sure, in the days when I lived in Ohio, they closed my local track down in October and didn't open until May! Then I moved south and was 5 miles from a track that didn't close until mid December and opened back up in March! It was great, then it also got to where it seemed like forever while it was closed. I got a Job in North Florida 7 years ago and thought it was great to be able to move here and found the closet Drag strip to be 90 miles away and it's an 1/8 miler. The closest 1/4 mile is 3 1/2 hours away now! Geez, you'd think with the weather of Florida there would be a track in every town! :shft

Living in south Texas means driving the Mach pretty much year round. (last measurable snow was 93) The winters are usally pretty mellow some freezing weather but usually only a few days spread through out Dec - Feb mostly. Currently the Mach is the only car so I drive it daily. Have plans for a daily driver after the new year so the Mach can sleep on bad weather days.

I don't mean to brag but, the tracks out here only close for holidays. On the downside we have to put up with dumb politicians who can't count:p

I am a former resident of Los Angeles and San Diego... :(

Used to race at Carlsbad every Saturday. And always heard talk about how the land was being sold and a new stucco and chicken wire condo development was going to take the place of the dragstrip. That was oh, 18 years ago...
