lol I just turned it on as I just got home from class and saw the silver ta and was like man that sure looks like jl ws6 and had to come on here and find out. awesome job.
My first pass at pinks a couple weeks ago I forgot to turn the bottle on too and it wasnt very fun. ended up missing the 16 by about a tenth too slow.
congrats

had that happen as well in another race with a brand new bottle, they said it wasnt filling up as quickly as it should and went out and ran it and it just sprayed fuel. we opened the line and seemed like we had something stuck in the siphon tube and it is now out but havnt tried that bottle yet.

Thanks guys, the show didn't make it out to be a big deal.... but ya got to understand, I know that the run that I lost to the mustand he went 10.00 which I had covered no problem seeing as the run before we both went 9.92x, and in the finals there wasn't a single pass made faster then a 9.97, the final of the 3 runs the duster went 10.17 and the mustang went 10.38, so I know I could have covered that too....
That's what makes it painful... but that's racing. It would have been nice if they showed me fighting with the seatbelt tryingto get it out of the camera equipment, or tossing the big ball of green tape out the window that was also stuck on the seatbelts, but they cut that out. Honestly that is what threw me off, when I couldn't get the belts over my shoulders, I panic'd and forgot all about the bottle that needed to get opened.
Live and learn, it is a mistake that will not happen again. I got a couple minuites of fame, if I even walk into one store, or one person comes up to me anywhere and asks if that was me on TV, I'll have won more then I could have ever asked for.

So how was the show overall, Jay? Was it kickass seeing yourself on television? Does it really add 20 pounds? Cause if that's the case, then I guess we're gonna have to find a way to take more weight out of the car. 
I'm going to assume you are either
a) someone I know and just not saying anything or
b) an idiot
There are a lot of daily drivers out there that can beat my car with a 125 shot. My car is not that fast.

I dunno if it added 20 lbs, I don't think I looked any different on the TV then I do in a mirror.
I need to lose a few regardless LOL.
But, the offseason plan is weight reduction in several differnt ways, that should total to around 250 lbs, putting the car close to the 3000 lb mark. I have a couple possible changes that would also drop an additional 40 to 50 out as well, but we'll see what the $ situation looks like when I start buying parts again.
Goal is 3000 or lighter with me in the car, more I lose myself the easier that will be. I'd love to see it get to 2850 to 2900 to be honest, and I know what I have to do to get it there, just a matter of wether the $ is there when I start digging into it.
