I have a few pics that I'll get uploaded later today.

It was SMALL. Half the pits were empty! The Wild Street class only had 20 cars in it, and the racing for Saturday was done by 5pm!

Here's the pics (http://saleen.v8mustang.com/pics/races/nmra-ennis03/) I took while up at the NMRA. The video clips are Mangrum vs Donnie Walsh Jr. Donnie won Pro 5.0.

I guess I was a little dissapointed with the turnout. I think WFC being two weeks before hurts. Alot of the racers are just trying to recover. Hell on Sunday, they started a good 2 hours later then the schedule and they still practically finished at 5!
But overall I like the classes they have (pure and real street) and like the fact that Outlaw is on TRUE 10.5 tires.
Hopefully there will be more cars out next year (if there is a next year)

Yup it was pretty bad. FFW Houston this year wasnt too bad, but nothing holds a candle to FFW Houston last year.

sounds like i missed nothing except the heat. i spent two days watering the grass. yep i hate the heat. i really like the real street class. if ffw would have a similar class i would build my car to spec. ok , next up is ccb on the 7 th and probably clash on the 28 th. time to see if i can crack the 11's again.

It was small, but I had alot of fun. The announcing rocked. They actually talked about the racers and the racing... instead of whining about wanting a turkey leg or a hot dog:rolleyes:

The heat did suck, jesus, it was insane! I'm usually all over the place, but I pretty much 'tucked my tail between my legs' and found shady spots.

ROFL! That would have made it worth it to me. Remind me to bring my rifle to the next FFW. We've got to get rid of Mr. Turkey Leg. I can't count how many times I've muttered to myself, "I wish you'd choke on that turkey leg."

I think it's time Mr. Turkey Leg retired. Y'know, even when he is talking about the racers, I can't understand the man.
