As soon as my wife recovers from her ACL reconstruction (2nd and hopefully last time)we are headed to the nearest 1/4 mile track. She will be in her 2K2 6M against me in my 95 5M.

Here is my question:
What is the best way to ensure that we actually race each other? I am not sure how crowded the place actually get but I am assuming it is moderate.

Also I wonder if I can win (with just a HAI, no n2o) and she is stock but does not drive as crazy as I do???

 

1. Get there an hour early before the gate opens. Usually the first hour or so is pretty light compared to the rest of the times.

2. Make sure you get in separate lanes and if necessary ask someone to change places with you so you are in the lineup side by side.

3. You can also ask the fellow who ushers the cars to the start line what you want to do and he will probably accomodate you. Ask nicely and take your wife with you, it will help if she is a knockout.

4. Tell your wife that for the first run to just take it easy and get used to the track. Hammer it out of the hole and knock her socks off and then if you win tell her you don't want to race anymore.

Good Luck
Jim
