Default Thank you Mojo

Id like to personally thank him for giving me advice on racing. Ill admit I was really scared about wrecking but he gave me some really good pointers and it helped alot. So much that I ended up getting to the semi finals with a 5.0 stang and I whooped him to get first place all thanks to Mojo. Again thanks

Were you at the drag racing presentation that he presented during Cruise In VII? I was there and thought he gave some real great pointers. Congratulations!

I'll be glad to copy the class handout and mail it to you or anyone else who needs it. Just PM me with your street mailing address.

And then he also has this video of him at the track. The camera is mounted inside the car, over his shoulder. The footage is of a full pass and specifically how to shift.
Pretty damn cool. I'm 3000 miles away and he showed me how to shift from that vid being posted on here. That helped my take .50 off my ET's.

I would pay him if he would teach me how to drag. Like a one on one teacher or driving class. I mean they have those here but they seem wasteful and they are 500 bucks. So forget that. Mojo if you read this lemme know about a class im sure if a few other members would join me we could give you some extra cash. Im not asking for alot of your time. Ill give you two hundred up front for 30 minutes lecture. Anything you say is a bible for me.

It's a ppv file, maybe that's why? Either that, or Edgar removed it from the server.

Lol No your not kidding because its true. I cant drive a mannual, I suck at launching I spun like hell, I didnt wreck though but the car felt really loose. Plus like Mojo said good tires last longer hes right. It can make the difference in winning or loosing. The mustang had dunlops on his. The front were fat like mine and the front were thin. LOL reminded me of bicycle tires.
