I just found out you have another problem. You really think you can race a Mustang? Can you get into the 14's or is it only good for 10.0 in the eighth?

I think before I give you any more lessons maybe you should get a man's car. C-O-R-V-E-T-T-E. Dam-, a Ford guy on a Vette forum. Now that's funny.

He's the one that said Mustang. Maybe he doesn't know the difference. Good video of that black Vette stomping all over him.

I'd like to get back there one day and show Hot Air how to win some rounds. Black, yellow, green, purple, it doesn't matter what color Vette...I'd take that Corvette Challenge. LOL I'll be driving whatever's available, because it'll be that easy. Who's got some frequent flyer miles and a car to donate to me so I can head out to Jersey?

You and Kazman must be related. You assume I'm in Jersey. Hmmm, could I be in Upland, Ca and racing at Pomona? I suppose you drive a Mustang too.

I've been beaten up for having a "Hired Gun" driver last yr.. ans "SHE" won Rookie of the year, and was series champ...* I have to add the * because she was considered a Rookie only because she never raced in the CC for points... She runs Stock in NHRA..

You may as well common down... & see what you can do in my car..

I can GAR-UN-TEE.... its Consistency!! The rest is up to you

I'll probably be banned if I get "ANOTHER Hired Gun"

I just read this thread for the first time now. I see that there maybe some people not beleiving that someone could own a Mustang a Vette.
Hmmmmmm. I too have a mustang. I was a Mustang owner before I bought a Vette. I am also a Mustang Guy to heart. I would also take a Mustang over a Vette.


NOW, Would you rather drive a Vette or this? Hmm, Drive a high 8 second street Mustang or a Vette? What would you have more fun in?

Then you need to get out more, because if you only race at Pomona, you get to race a whopping twice a year.

You're a liberal aren't you? In my last post I asked two questions and got no answers. That's typical of you left wingers.

Where's your little buddy? He can't keep up so he doesn't want any more lessons? Oh, now I remember. He's probably in the garage trying to get the Mustang started.

I see one question and two statements....
I am betting one of your most famous questions takes place at the track though. Its the one where you walk to the tower after another 1st round loss, and ask, "Can I just make one more run?"

http://www.quartermiledesigns.com/co...lbum=93&pos=28

But you are right, I'm a mustang driver now. This one happens to run in the 1/4 what you run in the 1/8. If you are lucky.


I still roll in the Chevy Power too.

There's no disgrace in loosing to someone better. Wouldn't take much effort to get a win light with you in the other lane. Would have to match up in Round 1 because you are always on your way home after that.

Too bad neither car is yours. I can post pics all day long. I also prefer running faster cars. They either break out trying to catch me or cut a red light.

Are you and the other guy sharing a computer?

You have no idea what I can do.

I'm going to give you lesson 3. When you think someone is better than you it's time to hang it up. You need to park that Mustang and forget drag racing. I imagine you are getting tired of those red lights because you have to cut a .000 because the other guy is better.

I gotta go race some real racers today so you and your buddy have a good day.

These kids don't have a clue how to race. I don't know about you but I find racing the younger generation to be quite boring. If you talk about playing the top end they don't have a clue.

Remember they race Mustangs and share a computer. Nothing worse than two libs that live together. Ya know what I mean?
