So did anyone say if they were riding from Arlington and what time? I live on 287 right before Mansfield. I wanna have some fun on the way there. Don't know if I'll run at the track, but it'll be real fun. I had to work until right before I left and they told me not to come in. Woo hoo.

I wasn't able to make it out there today, had a little too much on my plate. I'm shooting for next weekend, hope it's nice weather.

How was the track?

I had a good time, except for that initial looooooong wait.

Who was the red 'bird from Pure Dominance(Waco) that I ran? I thought I had you and then missed 4th.

Oh well, I still ran 12.746, which is a new best for me. I really think I was on the way to a 12.4 pass though.

best of the day was a 1.87 60ft with a 12.9 run... the car has 12.7 at least, just needs some better tires. the 255 17's are tiny..

also, that godamn water box pisses me off, going through that killed my last run and my 60ft

i thought i was having tranny issues

so i checked with gilbert, and it seems even with the engine temp at 210, the tranny wasnt warm enough and therefore hit off the limiter.
120k miles on it...

also, craig when i took off on 35 towards bush, you caught up awful fast..

And craig a roll race goes like this, i will punch it randomly from a few cars back, pass you with the hazards on, then hit the brakes.... this means i won the race..

I had fun being out there... But it sucked the way they were letting the cars with slicks made hot laps 1 after the other and holding all the street cars back.
That was dumb as hell if you ask me. blah blah blah about the putting the rubber down for us... I am sure after the 4 times they let them go there was plenty of rubber out there. Would of been nice to of dialed in my car...

ALSO...... I GOT A BAD FILL on my bottle...

I was shooting blanks.. LOL...
So my entire day was N/A runs, and not hooking and not going..

my best was 13.2... LOL..... that is actually my worst... but whatever.
no N20, **** just seemed to not be hooking and working yesterday..
oh well... Some track days are good, some are bad..

I WILL never get my tank filled at the place I did... That is the 2nd tank they have screwed me in and it was mostly air... ******* bullshit if you ask me..

I have pics and video of the day...

I will put them up later tonight.. I am at work and did not get home till late last night from doing some running around....

Had a blast.....
and it was good meeting alot of you guys I met...
good seeing the nitrous outlet guys out there also, good meeting you guys.
