The IVWA meets in Farmington NC let ANYONE make time trials on the 1/4
mile track. Not only do you get the lights and countdown, but they will
time you, and tell you your time and mph. I have seen some rather
sad-looking VW's taking off beside the super-racers. Kinda funny,
especially as a late model bus once won 2 rounds or so!
So, y'all all come to NC for the next farmington meet!
