As per this thread, http://www.focuscanada.net/forum/showthr...?tid=18924
... I don't know how to read these schedules... but from what I gather, next Saturday the 11th is open for slow cars (ok, street cars) like mine to go down the 1/4mile (and the track is closed during the week???)
So, I'll have to give a call but assuming that the focus can indeed go down the track, I'll be taking it there to do just that. I'd jet down there today to scope the place out but I've got yet another wheel bearing to do first and some parts from Tousley on the way too.

googled to see if any other car groups would be going, read somewhere its 25$ and the time trials open at noon.

ehm, well... as long as my wheel bearing doesn't blow up then any time before 10pm works for me. It's making noise now and more than before I had the LCA's done but the parts on order from Tousley and I don't think they'll get here on time... BUT it's not loose just noisy
as long as the car is drivable I'll go I just won't take it down the strip (more than two, three times haha)

i haven't called yet, but going off I think it was some neon forums, it opens at Noon. I may/may not be working until noon that day but I won't really know until the day of. I'm down for heading there directly from work too, if I finish around noon or shortly before it.
you have my cell number too so we can always coordinate on the day of
you know much about what tech inspection checks for? I think I may empty my trunk out for this

Haha you too man, you and your friends were all really cool I hope we get to go again in the near future.
Moon, Best ET was 17.635 @ 75mph. Considering I took all the weight out of it, I was expecting better. Unless they do run mid 17s stock??
edit: Another pass I did was about 17.680 or so @ 78mph. I've got lots of improvement to do... I'm happy I got a 0.551 reaction time though

Ya i'm still trying to figure out why I was so much slower. Do you have a 2.0D or a 2.3?
