Yeah My ex Used to race at Irwindale. My ex before that Used to love coming over and watch/help me work on my car (Pretty much pass wrenches).

MORETHANQUICKSTANG is right, Race with her in the car and believe me, They wanna go all the time! Its a drug for any girl, Unless shes EMO!

Chicks that are into reading and expressing themselves through art BLAH BLAH BLAH dont even know what a Meet is!!

last chick I went out with, I told her:
ME= "Wanna go to a car meet"
She= "Whats that"
ME= "Bunch of car guys hangin out in a parking lot talking about cars"
SHE= "People actually do that? ha ha ha ha ha No thanks Ill pass"

Yeah I was nervous till i got up to the light and then now i am the calmest most focused ever, I think I was made to race, cause when i drive I am perfect no worries nothing just me the car the feel of the road. It really is my zen spot, doesn't hurt either that I am good at driving, I can drive manual and I have never owned a manual car, only car I stalled out was a S10 the clutch on those isn't tight like my buddies tbird or my buddies eclipse.

Yeah auto is really awesome for drag racing, but road course is where you need to use a standard. They don't heat up as much when shifting through the gears, plus it doesn't matter how you launch on road course just your top end.

I was standing almost in between the cars. It could have been worse for sure. Either way we are both turning it into insurance. This kid told Luke it would only be around $700 to fix it Yeah maybe by his cuzin Paco

I need to work on that 60' time 2.191 & 2.157 ? (sad but true) I could use some help! anyone?
Still looking for those CMS tuned boys.
