So you've been dying to step up to the 10.50 to show me how its done but the weather hasnt been good enough for your car to run the number. I think I just might have to come down to the 11.50 to show you how its done.
Let the smack talk begin!!!!

since you already clinched 10.50, you might as well go race 11.50

Haha.... Bring it on Uncle!!!
Since we're not racing Oct & Nov thats a great idea!
Just remember, I race like a man, one foot on the brake, and one on the gas, so leave your cheatin 2-step & transbrake at home...

This is how we do it in 11.50, (pay attention from the 26-30 second mark)

sadly, watching you win them all has been more demoralizing than inspiring
