    Is it just me or is Firebird starting to s*ck !!

    What has happened to Friday night drags @ Firebird?

    Why doesn't this place get it, track is always prepped terribly, they have these VIP cars who take forever to get there full blown race cars out on the strip, and we all have to wait, then they blow up their car or crash !!!

    We only have 1 night a week to curb the urge to street race in the East Valley, Firebird makes a good deal of money as there is always a ton of cars, trucks, bikes, station wagons. So why must you wait for 4 hours to get in 2 runs, I call BS. Would be nice if they were a bit more descriminating, Buick LeSabre last week? WTF

    I guess after summer I will just make a monthly run up to Speedworld to
    get good runs in on a perfectly prepped track, during the day, with not all the waiting and BS.

    If Firebird would just put some thought or effort into it , it would be such a fun time, thats the tragedy.


    Anybody want to chime in ? Agree/Disagree ?

    never been able to hook for shit at speedworld myself.

    firebird hooks great for me every time i go, some better than others, but always good enough for 1.7 60's with a v6 mustang.

    and who cares what cars are there? if a stock kia rio wants to drag race, better there then on the street where he can break the speed limit lol
    2005 v6 redfire mustang. yup its slow.

    i have only had firebird have decent traction 2-3 times out of all the times i have been there. speedworld is hit or miss too, but tends to be more hit than miss. going out during the day on saturday or sunday is normally far better than the nights. one good thing about speedworld, most every weekend you can either race friday night, saturday during the day and night, and sunday during the day. talk about being accesable!!!

    Thats really what I mean, wonder if there was any way we could persuade Firebird to have once a month test/tune daytime event, don't see why not as they don't have big events every weekend, maybe I expect too much, it is another way for them to make money and more people would attend on the weekend, IMHO.

    +1 on the Kia Rio's , those things are fast !!!!!!!
