Default three races this weekend!!

on saturday got to line up with some cars.all runs were done from a roll which isnt a great thing for me.

first rae was against an ss ls1.said he had cutout,lid,gears and cant remmember what else.was from a second gear roll and he beat me with his car just pulling on me without much hope of me winning his car is probable a mid 12 car.

second time raced another stock mach 1.raced twice with me starting at his door forst time and ending at his door.second time started with me ahaed by a fender and ending with the same gap.VERY close.he was happy because he thought his was down on power because his didnt et well and mine does ok.

thisrd race against a lt1 car that had headers,exhaust,cam,rockers,cold air and i dont know what else.from a first gear roll he spun a little and by the top of 3rd i had about 3 cars on him.second race from same speed i started in second(which was a mistake)and he pulled on me at first then i started to pull up to him but missed third.

overall pretty fun but i think im getting a little antsy.i need to start modding.

**** minus the fact of me meeting Jesse James at the new track, (Houston Motorsports Park), there was quite a few new cars. but mostly high dollar cruisers. not too many things to race.

Good runs Roger.

I will be having withdrawals for the next few months until the blood/Mustang levels decline to a normal ratio. Any unexplained/unnecessary anger or comments must be excused due to my condition you worthless *****!

Carry on smartly and have a nice day!
