Snail is about right HAHHHAHAH I hope so. It will be great to get on a track that hooks and has a track temp over 40 deg
40 degrees 
That's getting close to a damn hockey rink! You're lucky ya didn't lose it at the big end..... please wait for some warmer weather and don't wreck that beautiful car because it's too cold out!

You should be here at the US Street Nationals in Bradenton, Fl. There are about 50 drag radial cars here.
so far the fastest pass was a 7.76

I was there for that run...VERY NICE! People (including myself) were absolutely gawking at the car all day! We were parked right in front of you in the pits, I was there seeing what the new D.D. would do. I actually forgot my friggin' helmet that day and asked you if I could borrow yours for my last pass (since you only made 1 pass all day). You were on your laptop with your bluetooth in your ear and pretty much just ignored me, just shaking your head no. I understand... you were running your 9 second race car, and I was running a POS 13 second Mustang, hell they should have separate pit areas for us normal guys. No hard feelings though, those guys across from us with the (3) 9 second V-Rods obliged me. I guess there is still a LITTLE bit of camaraderie left in drag racing.

2nd that bluetooth was not in my ear to look cool, I was on the phone working through some problems we were having. Hence the only one pass up to that point.
I take racing pretty seriously when I am out, it cost me big bucks to build that car and if I get side tracked and something gets screwed up it could cost me a lot of money or worse. So trust me it was nothing personal but when you have a lot ridding on what choices you make, you try and stay focused on the task at hand. I am still in the process of shaking the bugs out of the car so its important for me to pay attention to details.
I apologize for not being more sociable and I hope you understand.

***Yup, it sucks that a-holes like that have to ruin it for everyone else. I even worry about walking away from my car with the hood up and windows down at times.***
