Default New best at PRP today with stock tune

Well I don't have the Predator anymore so I went racing today using my stock tune and ran faster than I have before, imagine that. I gained a tenth in the 1/4 and gained almost a half a second mph also. Not too bad with a six speed with stock 3.42's in the rear.
old time new time
60ft 1.846 60ft 1.824
1/4 12.501 1/4 12.40
mph 112.21 mph 112.69
Almost forgot. It was cool BS'n with 2001PewterWS6 all day long. Later...

Congrats on the new best.

The temps were cooler than they have been for awhile yesterday. Was there a head wind? Tail wind? Just wondering because I couldn't make it to the track. Bummer.

Congrats again,
Tom

Thanks alot Roofer. At the beginning of the day I heard some people talking about a slight headwind but other than that it was a calm day. I didn't notice it all. Hey Roofer your buddy was taking **** on your $1500 car you took to Summit when you broke down. Sorry about your luck. It usually works that way when you have a $60000 race car and $1500 beater. Also Terry99TA was not there either. I guess he was embarrased that he didn't run low 10's at 130+. He said that he probably would bracket on Saturday but I guess his car is for the Dyno only.

WOW, sorry I posted in your thread.

How in the hell would you or anyone else know which vehicle I took to Summit. I have 8 late model pick up trucks (2) late model 1 ton dump trucks and a very large late model dump truck along with a late model flat bed truck and 1 92 beater which I guess I should have asked YOU before I bought it from a friend whom needed the cash.

BTW Terry and his family are very nice people.

My name is Tom

I don't want to know yours.

Wow what was that for? Tom and Terry are two of the nicest guys I've met in racing. I'm not sure what you have against them or why but I don't think that was called for.

Hey Tom The Roofer I am very sorry that I offended you. That was not my intention. 2001Pewter and I were talking all day at the track yesterday and that is how I found out about the car you were driving. We thought it was sort of funny. And I do know your name Is Tom. Sorry again. And about the Terry 99Ta situation, he's been talking about his 422 stroker coming soon for almost a year now so he took his car to tnt on thursday and ran like 11.1 at 123. I just feel that it seemed like a big event to him and he should have posted his times.

2002silver,
I don't really care what you think. my best time was 11.02 @125 people like you ruin sites like this.

"422 coming for a long time" it gets expensive, of coure it takes a while and also dealing with booked up sponsors here.

They definately do take alot of time and money to build. I know how Terry feels finally getting to the track after being down so long. I know I will be just as excited in a few weeks when I finally get back in action. Give it a few weeks to get the bugs worked out and get things adjusted and then we'll see what kind of times everyone is running. After all isn't that why it's called TEST and TUNE? 2002 silver..sorry if I got defensive about your post....just sticking up for a couple buddies. Sometimes things don't come out the same in print as they're meant to. See everyone at the track on Thursday.

No problem. I understand completely.
Tom the roofer, hope you understand too. I did not mean to **** you off by any means. My name is Dean and I talked to you at the track a few times and even answered some of your post and also congratulated you as well.

Wow what a post... Dean is a nice guy. I think the words just came out the wrong way... It is hard to kid around when you are posting... Now are all parties involved going to the track Thursday?
