Just wanted to say, I knew most of this before even departing for this race at Good times Drag Strip in Winnemucca, NV. The outlaw track is run by a non-profit organization. It's 4,600' ASL (DA was 6900' or above), the track was constructed around 2007 & is all asphalt, except the burnout box. From what I saw the track gets a light spray of glue once per day & gets dragged once or twice a day.

My #1 goal was to have a good time & I succeeded with icing on the cake!

My 1st run on the track was a 6.291 & I should have pulled the chute at 400'; this was a time shot for the 6.00 index class. My 2nd hit was a 5.951 & that was what my app was predicting. In eliminations I ran (1) 5.977 when my opponent went red & the rest of the runs were low 6.0s. My reaction times were better than all opponents I ran.

As mentioned in another post, I won the 6.0 index class & the icing on the cake was the pay-out; it was much bigger than the trophy! It was a midget trophy but I didn't really care.

The next day bracket race was run in the middle of the day. My 1st run was a 5.988 & the rest of the passes were low 6s. The car was spinning the tires at the hit. I had a launch retard activated but I was a retard for not killing more power with it. I went out in the 2nd round after a buyback round.

I plan to go back next year to support the track if my racing schedule allows it. I had a great time & was a driving fool on the track!

Interesting little dragstrip there, Bryan.
And an oval track + Motocross track.
Looks like whoever the owner is, has spent some money on the facility. I see what looks like decently lighted pits, etc. Even some shade trees, out in the desert.
The thing I can't figure out, is how they would get any car counts. It appears to be many miles from any meaningful population centers.

Heading back to this track in June for a 6.0 Index race & bracket racing. I hope to be a little better prepared for the asphalt & lack of prep. While I did good last year, I want to improve on my daytime set-up for the track. My nighttime set up was decent & was only able to run mid 1.40 60's. During the daytime they were in the 1.60s with early wheel spin. While we were on radials, we were no better or worse than people using bias ply slicks.
