Dave what difference if you have a 9 second car, with your launch off idle, you never break below 11!

Put the car picture in the avatar and be done with it...........

It would only be improper if you bought the 9-second car and then kept in the garage and never took it to the track. Enjoy the car.

Don't get too excited over this boys. Dave's wife doesn't let him out too often, let alone come to the track & race a car, right Dave?

He just buys & sells cars (at a loss each time) but tells his wife he's making a profit. She then goes out shopping & spends the "profits". Dave, now broke, can't go racing. Dave sells car & the whole process repeats itself again....

And you can't put the 9 sec avatar until YOU run the car to a 9.xx slip...DAVID!!!!!

PS- welcome back, but I want to see proof of a car first! And yes, it's STILL too far!

Ron

Tough crowd in here

Thanks again Alan, with the monsoon we had last night, I haven't had any time in the car, I'm busy clear up until Sunday so it looks like next weekend until I get to beat on it Thats ok though, it will give me time to clean it up (I'm a fanatic about cleanliness, I figure if you can't drive fast, at least you can look good!) I'll be in touch about meeting up in a couple of days...

Edgar, the 10.0 will have to wait until next season, I have a 16 and 3 month old in other words an oops baby! Time is limited, maybe a later date this year, but surely not for a couple of months.

Ronnie, what can I say...You're the king of missing events due to marital excuses and Longaberger parties, you should lay low for a while

Doug, I'll be in touch about tunes, I'll buy EFI Live so if you can show me what do without uncovering and ECS trade secrets

Ok, back to work for me...Thats all I can type now and all the smilies I can come up with...be back in a while..

No, we just made a lateral move because I am picking my car up from the body shop today (new hood) and plan on upgrading my PCM before the next 10.0 and kicking everyone's *** silly.
