E.T Raceway in Bloomfield....it is about 56 miles South of Martinsville...have also ran at Tera Haute. Don't care much for Brown County but may be forceed to run there cause it is closer and we all know gas is 4 bucks a gallon now.
Raced Et the first year they were open,been to Terre Haute once,started at Beantucky raced there for years havent been since 1998.

How much will it slow down with a 4:88 gear? When the tracks are marginal or hot its not as consistent. Has 14.5-32 slicks THANKS!
You might play around with the spreadsheets on Pages 2 and 3 of my site. Adjust the horsepower until you get the right calculated mph and then play with the gearing. The calculated ET's are for comparison purposes only.
Ok Thanks for all the help guys!
