Infield is hard packed. the horse arena is in a diffrent area. should be good. staging area for the push vehicles for the sprint car. Dirt race car track. should be good.
 
Ya scott, Im almost positive its in the sprint car track, and thats got some sticky clay and its plenty long!

my trucks up, im going to get up early and see if i cant make it ready to come up.. hopefully see you guys there... lots of little stuff to do to get it ready to pull..
 
well thing went good, track was a challenge for sure but in the end one line only.. it was much better track second round.. im glad i made it up, underpowered but a good pair of hooks and only broke my half assed stops and a carrier bearing.. reality is i drove it home with the trophy.. good meeting you guys up there.. looking forward to napa next weekend..
here a couple of cell phone vids of my pulls..
first one, was shifting from 2nd to 3rd and back, not enogh power to hold 3rd

second one they went up a couple gears on the sled, i guess the carrier was sparking and the bumps broke from the bumps, 2nd gear only

placerville was a good time. lets hope they have a pull there next year. the track had a few to many bumps but still had fun.

here is my second hook
