I guess I took the last set too far

120+ passes



The set before that I only took to 80 passes


Now I have gone to new 28" tall meats

Best short time is 1.43 with the old 346 and 1.44 with the new 402 but on the bad tires. I would like to think with the new rubber I can see 1.39.

Those two cars were the MTI car and Schultz right?

I might try to sneak down there but have not taken hard look at the schedule yet as I run so many different series' now it is hard to find a free weekend

Joe ran a few wheels up 1.39s with his 402. I should have vids up tonight too . The other 1.3s where from the newly installed 427 A4 on MH slicks (12.5s?), not MTI. I am having a senior moment and the name escapes me, sorry brother. Seeing the A4s leave so damn hard makes me think about an A4... naaaa Love to have you down for a Carolina event Edgar. We have way too much fun, and these guys are awesome! I am just gald I did not have to get beat by Danny Moore again (cause I was watching and taping). Thanks man!!!

It looks sunny in those pictures?

So what are those? Tears on your tires?

Still crying about the inevitable losses you are going to have to endure?
