looks like the beamer and the stang from a roll would be a good race
remeber, i cant floor it till im 100 feet out
and by that time i can floor it, i need 2nd gear.

1/8 time doesnt represent at all.

i love some low rolls as much as high rolls.....mmmmmm dinner roles

not mentioned: my neighbor who ive been talkin about that i wanted to race in his bolt on z28 ran a 14.3.....bent a pushrod on first run.

another buddy in his cammed ls2 goat burned his clutch on run #1 and still ran a 13.4

lots of busted cars this night including a built evo that threw its guts all over the track

good times.
I drink monster lo carbs and jack daniels with my pinky out all the time. I really was hoping the GTO guys had some better runs. He might have been really good for me to line up with if he didn't have all the clutch issues and I didn't have my meth purge issues. Next time I suppose. I'll wager him a beer.

As for will i notice in our run its beep beep, there goes the bemmer, beep. Just from what i saw of wills car he should be trapping around 115 if he can get the meth to work correctly down the 1/4mi.

oh and will im sure i have your 1st run with jay on my go pro but i dont have my cable with at the moment. When i get it i will check if its on there and i will post it up. On that first run it looks like you pulled at least 4 lengths if not more.
Yeah you are right, my bad, I think I jumped it a bit. Truth be told I was scared shitless and wanted to get the **** out of the way of that Z Na I keed, but I'll give it another go so you can count the bus lengths you put on me.

Thanks Dan for helping me look at my meth setup. After cutting out about 3 feet of excess meth line the pump holds prime really well now. No bubbles and should now work well at the track.

Yeah we had an awesome view of those two cars that went wheels up as we prestaged. Unfortunately the one guy broke when the rubber hit the road.

Its cool, i want a shot at that t/a when its tuned! Im sure you will pull me, but its all good. Yeah when i saw all that extra unneeded tubing all over the place, i lol'd. Yeah the wheelie cars were awesome! Good times, it would have been better if the other guys would have waited for us and had a big group roll together.

If he were lining up with some other cars there he would have definitely given them a run for their money. Figuratively anyway.

I know where you live now. You might come out one morning and see your balt on jack stands with a stock downpipe, intercooler, and air box sitting in your driveway. That should get you moving on those mods. Dont think I won't!!!!

Dan, I'll be up for running the t/a once it's all tuned and ready. Gotta get used to it first and work out any remaining bugs.
