Right out of the hole I launched at 1500 rpm's and featherd the clutch I just straight redlined after that shifted was still spinning hit third still spinning got a little traction thought I was good and through all this I was fish tailing but once I got back into it I just completely spun around and hit the wall on my driver side and.....I wish I could be at the meet take care

Yeah, I'm going. I made a thread for the meet - it's in this forum and I'll bump it after the meet so we can continue the conversations there...

There's still people in 29? That place is a dump. The only reason I liked being there is because I was a hell of a lot closer to LA then I am now. (Back in Chicago)

I once was on my way to Mexicali, Mexico, and me and my dad decided to go around the 10 to Yucca Valley and to 29 Palms and all the way to the 95, it was like midnight, and its Pitch Black! there. We even saw a little aircraft flying like 30 feet above us and the only reason we saw it was because I was hanging out the window and looking at the moon and stars.

If the aircraft was blacked out and didn't make any noise (or barely any noise) then I know exactly what you're talking about. I saw one of those flying around WAY low (like maybe 30-40 ft off the ground) several years ago. Creepy as hell, but what do I know... Apparently a bunch of other locals had been seeing it too at the time so while it is stealth you know for sure it's not 100% effective... lol

Unless you know, it was just another private light aircraft flying below the radar. Damn rednecks. Maybe it was an LSx based kit airplane with stock F-body mufflers. That would explain it being quiet... lol
