And from where you're standing, see… that's a very safe thing to say.

Were you standing in the pits, you wouldn't say that.

How do I know?

Because I've been down the track a couple of thousand passes and in that time, I've smack talked, been smacked and vice-versa.

AT the track are racers and racers know that the 1/8th mile goes by VERY fast and each pass is different.

Now… I will formally extend to you the same invitation I extend to everyone who offers such horse-**** assessments.

If ya truly feel that way… take a look at the Immokalee Regional raceway calender… pick a FRIDAY night when you'd like to PROVE IT and let me know… IF that day works for me, I will HAPPILY give you a chance to prove it.

Bring your title.

I'm not interested in any commentary regarding how far I am from you… how you don't take the interwebz seriously… etc etc.

You're either going to stage up or puss out.

Now, your next post will tell the story…

Let's see how ya do.

(Sadly, I've got to leave it at that for the evenin'… but I'll see how ya did tomorrow.)

Where are you located? I don't race for titles because this isn't F&F but I will gladly take few thousand from you.

The more efficient the car gets...the less it actually back halfs.

Brother… Immokalee Regional Raceway. It's on this thing called the interweb… Look it up. They've even got a MAP! Somewhere next to the schedule.

Pick any date after January 1.

Bring your title.

LOL… On what plain of consciousness is it reasonable to you, that someone on this site would feel the need to have you believe anything they've said?

Slips don't mean ****… they're yesterday's news. I've read 10,000 newspapers… don't have a single one to account for it.

See how that works?

Im out… Tomorrow is another day, to give you another 'try' and for me to simply "DO".

I don't race for titles, only cash. Only reason I might ever be down near you is for FL2K14. Other than that I'm not interested in driving 15 hours to race a mid 7 second car. Feel free to ramble on about how scared I am now. Feel free to come meet me in Kentucky, Texas, Nebraska, Indiana, Ohio or Missouri on one of my trips this coming year.

Lol, not a troll. Just pointing out that it's very easy and convenient to attack someone's personal deficiencies in order to avoid defending fact and/or fiction.

When you get the car setup right and gain say 7mph in the 8th... you will likely only gain around half of that in the 1/4. For example. Me and my buddy both managed a 122-123mph trap last time out (this was when i had 22psi in the tires, not 12...12 killed my back half) I went 93mph in the 8th and did 122.9 in the 1/4. He went 100 in the 8th and 123 in the 1/4. His car is the ***** with efficiency. Running 10.7 with that mph. My car on the other hand is in no way efficient...not yet. My car shouldnt pick up more then 25-26mph in the back half. Not 30. I suspect on a killer launch, ill come in around 98-99mph in the 8th which without the car being any faster will trap roughly 125.
Yeah I see your point. I do know the car should trap more in the 1/8th than 102 when I get a good run. Still a mid 130's car, I figure a 105-108mph 1/8th.
Cars with similar setups are running 105-110, and mid 130's.

I was running 20psi in the 555's. I just didn't want to beat on the car anymore... not enough to dial the pressure and launch in anyway.

I'm like "Mother Fu&4er that's things a bullet" and the owner is like "Mother Fu&4er this things a pig, load it up…"

Then I Pop the hatch, take my little jack out, open my little tool box… put on the Mickey's and drive it around to the stage with my Fingers crossed, prayin' for low 7s… .

LOL! They might was well be from Mars… we are truly living in two entirely different worlds.

The thing is to have fun… or what's the point?

I honestly love it… On the track, the street… doesn't matter, as long as the other guy isn't crazy and can keep it in his lane and if it's on the street, he knows when to get out and keep it safe.

Breaking it sucks… but it's a part of it. Sometimes it gets to ya… but usually, after it sits in the shop for a couple of months, the itch returns and ya pull the cover off and its LOVE … ALL OVER AGAIN!
Yeah, I have been there before with a car I used to race... kept extra halfshaft in the hatch in case I broke one at the track, 3 trannies. It got old and expensive.. which is why I got out of it... then I made the mistake last year of going to the track with my previous car... and it was like a recovering alcoholic at an all you can drink on the house bar. Now the money flows places it really shouldn't.
