Default Track times

Took the car to the track last night to make some test passes in it and try to get used to it. On the motor it ran consistent 8.50's. (yea, it's a dog on the motor) But I couldn't get a good bottle pass out of it because I didn't have a bottle heater, so the bottle pressure was at 400 psi.(which equels out to about a 60 or 70 shot) But still ran 7.60's on the COLD bottle.

LOL, Yeah I've still got a few things to work with on the car, But still not bad for 400 pounds of bottle pressure.

Bottlefed5.0 knows that 7.60's is slow as ****, I'm sure that car will run well into the high 6's once he figures out his nitrous problem. I'm just wondering if Jruss is gonna come up here and lose some cash or not?

Yeah, 7.60's is slow, seeing that the car went 7.19 last time out. Plus I changed the intake and a few other mods. And about a 150lb weight reduction also. So the car will go low 7's if not high 6's.

Hey BottleFed, check this out... Jruss just replied to my comment on racing by saying he was going to kick my *** after we race when he loses his thousand bucks, and he is going to take his money back Looks like Jruss gets to go back to houston with no money, a slow car, and a black eye

I guess by competition you mean your car?
Hey man, it was all good and joking till you started sending me messages on AOL about kicking my ***... I didnt start the post or the talk about running for money. You're the one that brought it up, not me. So you can put your foot in your mouth here about any second now.
