...couldn't get my 60' times lower than 3 seconds so I took up road racing. I'll leave the drag racing to you experts; that really is a challenging sport.

As for Brandon's LT4, I was just yanking his chain. My comment was more of a reference to the fact that I was giving him LS1 cam advice on his LT1. Maybe you missed that thread.

You guys play nice now LT1's might start out in 2nd place, but $$$ equals speed, no matter what car your throwing it at. I'm just now getting my LS1 up to where some of the mildly modded LT1's are

Default Majeed REALLY is a nice guy folks

Glad you are happy with it Brandon. see you tonight for the follow up check out

Majeed. You have met my wife in person. Last time I checked your road racing skills were not much beter then your Drag racing skill's

It was just very off color to make the comment you did as the very first post to Brandons Happiness. Kind of like your womans husband walking in just as your are about to finish type thing

After all it is is all about fun isn't it?

I saw the thread , its just hard to tell when your joking on the board. Like ellis said, Someone is all happy about something and the first thing you do is put him down, it sure doesn't make you look good

And like Brent said, just because your not drag racing doesn't mean you have to stop bieng part of the club!
