I think he raced Bill(if that is the same guy).Went 11.8 against Bill.
Bill was talking about it later that night.
Very impressive.

BTW-Where's all the nay-sayers that were slamming me a week ago?
I told ya next time I hit the track,I would do the number. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'll be in the garage pulling my trans. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Keith- ABS is still in,Airbags are MIA. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

EDIT-in case anybody thinks I race with the hood off,I don't.
I was throwing on the short belt. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

A very unflattering pic of the car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Yes,I know the screen is off on the one nostril....

EDIT 2-
Bill said he has the run on tape,I can't wait to see it.

Hi John. Yes, I know Brian. His car hooks HARD and ETs very well - doesn't surprise me at all that he went 11.7. I *hope* to go 11.6 now that the NMRA season is over....gotta catch him! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Congrats, my friend. LOVE the raceweight!!! I'm still keeping the "fastest" in my sig (just to try and deceive everyone, of course), but the "quickest" and the "lightest" are history. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Good work, though.

Alan-Thanks for the friendly competetion,It was fun.You definetly are the fastest.
I might still try to break 120 this year.

Minty-just off the top of my head,I think it may be impossible to 'pull' 400#
out of your car.
Maybe 250 then it starts to get expensive.
I don't know what you have already done,so it's hard to give you ideas.
You can e-mail me if you want.<minushuman@iwon.com>
or come look at my car on jack stands and ask questions if you want.
I understand things have to stay quiet.
I also want a certain Z to lose some money. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

and even though i have an A4, it takes skilled driver be able to launch the car and row through the gears as quick as sean does. give sean's car to someone else, and i bet it'd be a 12 sec car

I understand that being a good driver is the key to good times. I'm not trying to come across in a bad way but gutting a car can make anyone fast.
