That stinks. You mentioned it was slipping at the last GM EFI race.

See you there, if it is not raining?

Default Updated.

Well, I went to the race.

The turn out was a little weak because of the heat and the threat of rain.

12.00 was the biggest class as usual.

It never rained and since the day started at 4:00 in the afternoon it only got cooler.
It was 90* at 4:00 pm but finally got down to 75* @ 9:00 pm.
(The race didn't go that late, we were just hanging out afterwards.)

Anyway, I made it to the Final Round, so that was good.

It was me and another Camaro, a 67 Camaro.

We both red lit, but I red lit worse with a -.024.

I won $125, got to race and had fun, so it was a good deal.

The guy that won was so happy, I was even glad he won.
He had been close before, but had never won.
He brought a lot of friends and family with him,
so it was an extra good win for him. (plus he won $250)

Thanks to Cartek for building me such a reliable car.
I have gone many rounds without a loss over the past few weeks.
Even this loss was driver error.
I am yet to lose because the car didn't perform as expected.

Thanks to Camaro Dave for letting me use his MT drag radials again.
Also, Dave and Larry came down just to spectate and keep me company.

Redgar also came up to keep me company. (He didn't race this time)
He shot some video of me and all that.

Thanks guy's, you should have jumped in the photo's after the final?

Question

Dude, there's a sort of pattern forming here. I've been to every event you've raced in so far this season except for the last two, coincidently they are ONLY two where you either won or finished in the money...maybe I need to stay away from E-town more often when you're racing?
Congrats again on the runner up spot.

Yeah now let's see you do it with your OWN tires.

I sure hope you are giving Dave half that loot for tire use

Yes, when you were on the phone with Bruce...I really thought you'd somehow read this thread again already at that point (though I know you couldn't have yet) LOL.

Man, you are always looking for a way to profit from something???

He lent me the tires, as a FRIEND, do I have to explain what that is to you?

Yeah OK, 1/2 the loot, I could buy the tires for that much.

I am buying a new set of tires, I have been waiting and waiting for them.

So count your blessings, If I hadn't been able to borrow the tires, I wouldn't be racing and supporting your race series.

Don't get all huffy because I am winning and you are LOSING!.
(Especially to me!)

Remember, I crushed you with my OWN tires.

Hey nameless one.....you beat me while car died at the line and it was a half track race cause your are scared to race me in the quarter. Remember you refuse to race me again!!!!

Friend? The guy feels bad for you cause he thinks you have no friends and he is not far from right.

You been ordering tires for six months now....what you can't go to www.jegs.com or any other site on the web?

I know your kind...you gonna keep borrowing and you will never get your own tires even though you come here and brag you won $500 over the last two races and won't even buy dave a vanilla coke

Yeah right-he's gonna charge Dave to take them back because they are "Winning tires now" they were just ordinary tires before.

Congrats Steve! Now take the winnings and buy some rubber!!
