I'm crossing my fingers the weather decides to change. So far it's looking a little rainy.

No racing for me this weekend...too many other things going on. I'm ready though!

OK, last post about the BS wheels on my car. Finally got them on & made a test drive on them. I like 'em.

Here is a couple of crap pics from when I got home from Porky's tonight...

I put some in my car about a month and a half ago. Beat the **** out of stock ones. What color temp did you get? I think I ended up going with 10000k. Now, I just need to get a kit for my fogs and maybe high beams, so I don't look so stupid with HID headlights, and crappy xenon fogs.

Unstang keeps stalking me, saw him again on Hickman today when I was out. Went to Eddyville last night and enjoyed the awesome weather. Got some feel for how some fresh drag radials felt and probably did one of the most smokey out of the box burnouts ever launching at 1 bar. I need to get some 16's in the back with 315's, the 18's and 305's are nice but I'd still like to get out a little faster.

hey black, what did you run for times man??

I also got my ride done today. Just finished up a matter of 5 minutes ago. Got the trans in, shifter, console, trans brake wired up, trans cooler in, etc etc. Also fixed my oil leak with a new valley cover gasket, 2 new knock sensors, and a new sensor harness.... All that is left is to fill it up with fluid tomorrow, and take it for a drive!!! I cant wait!!

Ran 7.43 on 91 with the meth injection off at 96mph. I was happy with it as I only launched on half a bar of boost. She has a lot more in her but I always went at the light instead of taking a bad reaction time. Need to get my hand on a shudder box so I can launch at the desired level. More or less just shaking off the dust and cobwebs from winter. Stanton was out there, not sure if he saw the burnout of glory at the end or not. They shut down the left lane after a mustang bit it into the rail.

Porky's on Douglas is closed. Porky's Pub on NE 14th has cruise nights on Wed & Sat. It is just north of 35/80, it used to be Radical Cycle.

blacknsingle-I saw you, I always enjoy seeing Supras. I was heading to ICE to pick up my wheel boxes, they threw them away already though.
