That's also made by Geddex, they make some good products.
So Rob sells Amsoil synthetic (what I happen to use in the Vette) and he also sells Geddex (what I (and others) use on the Vette) as well?
Hmm, does he by chance sell any food or coffee or anything too just in case I don't feeling like going all the way over to the concession stand?

You need it, I have it. If I don't have it, tell me who has it and I will get it for you.

Well


I went....Got as many TT as I wanted... & I was hitting the tree like my name was "Farley, or Ralph 7 runs worst light was .047 best .009 ..

Then Walter announces "Hey thats jpee in the Audi, and he has the best average RT all day..."

The car was giving me fits 1st run 17.34.. then 16.96 ?? Then back to 17s ... Bob T. was there & he said John your left front looks low on air... Daymmm I checked the air the night before & all were at 35 lb... it was down to 20 lb...

I pumped it up to 40 made another run & it was down to 32 After talking it over with Bob, it was decided to change to my spare (Full size) but after the race...

1st round I went .006 & I thought I was holding back.... Bobbie said to me he would kick my Azzz if I went RED.. all the others were in the 300-400 RT ..

So now I get a 1963 stock BUG dialed at 18.80 I ran it out in the 1st round to 17.39 so I dialed 17.50

I knew I was late on the tree, and stayed in it, and still caught him at the 1000' hit the breaks, and broke out with a 17.37 @ 64 mph ..

Why the hell didn't the "Farley Slide" work for me.... Soooooo all my BS and hot air went down the tubes in the 2nd round...

The 2 problems were #1 I screwed up... & #2 the Damn Audi was not consistent at all.....

I learned....I'll stick with the Vette.... then the only problem will be "ME"


Bob....thanks for the help swapping to the spare....

John, sorry I could not help you today. I was up to my elbows in a C6. I have the Dial In for you (x2) and if you need burnout guard I have it. This is a product that is sprayed on the quarter panels. When you day has ended, you can hose off the rubber. I have had people use it on the inside of the wheel wells. This is a good idea if you don't want your wheel wells to look like mine. :o

I was thinking of also racing today too. I would have brought the VW Golf TDI. Oh yeah, turn the boost up to run 18's.

No prob Rob.... I left the leaker on until I lost, & Bob T. helped me put on a full size spare... I'll be getting two new tires for that car tomorrow..

Thanks for the 2x of Dial on.... I just put on new splash guards, & I got "NO" rubber at all on the rear 1/4 panels.. however you are right about the inside of the fender well... its loaded & I'll use the "Burn Out Guard" on the inner fender wells....

I'll see ya in 2 weeks...
