Anyone ever take a nap at the tree?

Last night took the 01 TA out to see what it would do after the 3000 stall well lets just say I need more practice

Front brakes didnt hold and I rolled through the light and was like UH duh oh I guess I need to go lol ran a 16.74 at 103 lol. Just thought it was a funny story I would share with ya.

So you didn't run a 14.0 as I predicted, you went even slower and a red light.

I've missed it a few times, but I'm usually red before I'm late green.

Nothing beats the time I watched a guy in an Acura RSX try to leave the light in reverse, lol, it still makes me chuckle to this day thinkin' about it.
He rolled passed the staging lights, backed up and forgot to take it out of reverse. EVERYBODY in the stands notices the guys' reverse light is still on too.....He attempted to leave at what sounded like somewhere north of 5000rpm and smacked his head on the steering wheel so hard his horn honked

The crowd erupted in laughter and myself as I'm sure many others were literally in tears.

My first time at the track years ago I was in my mid 13 sec. '80 Z28 and was up against my buddy's 10 sec. pro-streeter. He was so loud I couldn't hear my car so I looked down at the tach, then I heard him roar, looked up, he was damn near half track and I was sitting there stunned. Cut a 3.5 second light.
