this years ice cream cruise was a horrible..... we show up it took an hour for the real cars to come everything with in eye distance was a damn honda........ then on the cruise the ended up cutting everyone off.... (god damn vtec). later on around 2:30 am. we decided to try and get the ricers lost so we could make a couple passes.. it was damn well near impossible. then i believe if my story is right what was going to be the first run 2 vettes cops came pretty lame.

Brought home a new daily driver from Car Craft....


BTW, I finally found the limit of the bald MT Radials in the rain...It was almost an epic failure near Ankeny on 35 during the monsoon. The car will not leave the area on those tires again!!!

Check it out August 9th 9-5pm. Thinking of going up and checking out Dennis's collection. May also enter the car for the heck of it.

Who'd be interested in going up? Then maybe hit Porky's or something afterwards...

I went friday night and ran a best of 8.51 at 85 mph with a 2.03 60 ft. time. Was running 8.5s all night. It was terrible weather for racing with 80 to 90 percent humidity and about 85 degrees. That was with my 18" Wheels and Street tires. I would love to just slap on some light slicks and skinnies on with some colder weather so I could see what it would do. I was happy with my times that night. Stock LS1's were running low 9's

Got lucky, made a nice save... I love Mustangs, they sound fast, even when they are 14 second cars...

nice ride Jason. We are looking at picking up a GTO here for amanda to DD during the summer, fall and spring, but I will be driving it during the winter, as I dont think she needs a car like that in the snow :-)
