Wow, all situations considered things are lookin' just fine in the CC.
Our 11.50 was almost a full field which is very cool in light of the slight lapse in general participation lately.

Sorry I didn't make it Sat....but Bert had a Joan Rivers Job done to her face...

(I think she was worried about how good Jeanne looks) and I had to take her to the Dr office to have some of the stitches removed.. He will put her on the Dyno this Wed. for the finishing touches..


You all know I love my "Bert" but she ain't ever gonna get into the same class as "My Driver" LOL

At the dinner I expect everyone to go Ga Ga or like that pop singer Lady Ga Ga... so she will think the (many thousands of $$ were well spent....

Damn if I spent on my car what she spent on her face I'd be entering either the 9.fitty class or have a legit NHRA legal A/S ... But it was her $$ and I had exactly ZERO input...

Anyway I will be at the track this Sat. the 31st to run the 12.50 index..

JP, don't you know Bert is going to dump your *** for some hot young stud that doesn't have to wait for the BLUE PILL to work....

Hope Bert is feeling better, I know she'll look great...

Default Saw Redgar Run a few weeks back at Rt 66 in Chicago!

Redgar,

I was at Rt 66 in Joliet, IL, on Friday July 16, 2010, and saw you and your bad boy C5 rip off a 10.5 pass around 7:30 p.m.

Very impressive bro and great seeing the Red Sled in Action you really got that bad boy dialed in!

How did you end up doing at that event?
