MMMM K so the cars ready???
. Shelors track is nice but I personally didnt like the burn out box its not very FWD friendly. Not that NB is exactly either. Shelors traction was def. better even when my car was messing up I still cut a better 60ft. NL is on a roll so if you dont stage with the ebrake your going to roll back the pratice with that would be good. I think more FWD cars show up at NB but I would love to see more at Shelor since I hope thats where I will be going some this season. Well that and SOON2B you know why Id rather goto Shelor then NB...

Re: Naturual Bridge vs. Shelor
How much is a test and tune at New London then? I live right near Lynchburg but I've never been, I guess until now it hasn't been much of a track? But I don't know really. I know it doesn't get much credit for some reason, maybe because it's on a slant?

Re: Naturual Bridge vs. Shelor
well, it's been open since 1957, was 1/4 mile until the 80's when the cars started getting too fast and was brought down to eighth. Since then, the airport has become the priority, with racing an afterthought. Unfortunately, in the past it was never made available for test and tune, always bracket racing which really excluded street cars..
oh, the track has a rise of 3'4" start to finish. elevation is 849'.
