Default I Must be NUTS!!!

Update

made 12 passes, 2 were red-lights, (1) .6xx and (9) .5xx :D:D:D

times were 12.8xxs at 107.8-108mph



[I know I may have to move this;)]

The 2nd date of the Florida Corvette Challenge is this Saturday and I'm currently 4th in points :D

2 of the top guys probably won't be there so if I can advance deep again, I'll be golden, thing is, I haven't been to the track since the last race :eek:

I'm thinking about going to Test&Tune tonite so I can practice up for Sat....so, am I crazy or what :reddevil

Not crazy, just under the spell!!!! I suggest you hit T&T tonight to work on your reaction time....remember, you don't need a .501 every run!! >520's will usually win races all day long as long as you run your dial ! :cheers:

I tested last night at Sunshine.....thought Jim Terry would show :D There were some kick butt F-bodies there though! I do header install tonight so I can't make it.

I thought about it, but just practiced on the practice tree a little, and watched the World Series. If I can also do good, I'll be better than golden, I'll be platinum! :D
