it looked like the front end of lenny's car about was about to lift off the ground (even with all that weight up there).

you need coilovers/springs/something!

the car felt great on the 13.2 run but i know there is more in it. i get 3 runs in like 5-6 hrs so it sucks. one day ill get lucky and get 10 or so runs and we will see what i can really do. 12.9 @ 113 is entirely possible me thinks.

Uhhh... Who's this Joe you're talking to?

I enjoyed the time out there. Was definitely a lot more fun to be down on the track instead of in the stands.

I only got a 14.7 because I turned on traction control. Which is sad. Very not use to being able to spin the tires that much.


The X-Mas party wasnt all that, I should have stayed at the track.

its always more fun to fail a the track! on a good note my shifter should be here today. i hope the throws arent too short. i hate short shifters.
