Yeah Air was really cool, made the cars run great. Adam ran like a 2.0 60' right?

Yeah I left right when the crash happened. My buddy called me and told me about that.

Yeah my 60' was 2.0x not bad I know I was slippin a little out the hole dead launches the whole time too. Not even on the brake off the line I think I might try sometime leaving at 1k.

Yeah Luke gave the guy his name and number and they have all the info from the kid and they are going to settle this outside of insurance. Which given the stature of the kid and his friends I wouldn't want to go insurance and let the kid have my address, the car would be the least of his worries.

Totally cool I live like 2 miles from the track so chances are I will be out there more often, not racing all the time of course but I will be there.

Thanks man I was really happy and surprised with my times, I mean for having a stock car. Now once i get headers and ory plus some supporting suspension mods and a stall I am shooting for high 7's.

It should blend well if you go to a refutable shop. My old grand am has a color that is even more of a bitch to blend and color match and the shop I took it too near me did a fantastic job.

someone draw me a diagram or something, i can't fathom how someone would be moving fast enough in a staging line, not paying attention and hitting into another car. how did this kid get a license to begin with is the real question.
