Default Done for the season!!!

Well after just a couple times out to the track i was never able to laydown the time i wanted.The weather here in chicago is just getting brutle cold and the tracks arn't worth a ****.We just got back from the track tonight and it was in the upper 30 degree range.We were never able to make a clean hit without the car getting out of line.Anyway im done for the season and i did not get the 8 sec slip that i wanted but only going out 2 times and the last one the track was **** i guess 9.13 is not to bad.If it wasn't for my mishap in the begining of the season im sure i would have been right were i wanted to be.My final time was a 9.13 @ 152 on a 200 shot.

Yeah the track yesterday was a skating rink, I saw one of your passes and it looked like you pedaled it by the tree.

Noyzee...

the coolest part about the snowmobiles, is we have a Real Street Drags here that is for cars wanting to do some legal street racing.

During the winter, they have Real Sled Drags on the side of the track. So some "street racing" with snowmobiles hahaha

Tuff, the car looked awesome, but I know how you feel on the track prep up around here. My buddies were having a hell of a time getting down the track towards the end of the night.
