Thanks for the great turnout from the Island. When you were pulling out last night around 9pm it was cool seeing over a dozen Vettes in the train that late!

I guess I will have to get a little grease under my nails this week :). I was going to post my weird experience on the general section to see if anyone else has had my same issue.

11.40 @ 104 3 times and no 4th gear isn't bad but very frustrating! It has to be in the fuel system.

That was one heck of a long eventful day. Billy you are wild - got the car back and you never left the drivers seat. Round and round you went, thought I was at a NASCAR event.

Thanks to the Vette Doctor pit crew - they really take the stress off an already stressful day. I think we lost 2 important guys at the Staten Island Chicken stand, has anyone seen them?


Also want to really thank Carmen & Dennis and Joey for putting up with me during the late night gear swap and dyno tuning session. I killed you and I'm grateful for your dedication to me and the sport.

By the way is that Tod with one D or two D's

You had one SCARY run one of those times. Spun so hard in second..you went out of the groove...and it looked like you spun third. There's a lot left once you sort it out. Sounds nice btw....nice n cammy. :cheers:

Carmen, Sorry I didn't get a chance to come over and say hello. Trying to run the challenge + run in the challenge and real street took up TO much of my time.

Thanks for racing.

John

:( I guess 60' times don't lie. :bb

I would have beat that POS into submission if it hung in to the end. :yesnod: 12.3 @114, what's that about. Going through the traps at reduced power. Seems guys from both sides of the fence were plagued with the codes.

At least I didn't miss every gear like CAMPISI. :rolleyes:

Funny how he was the only one getting thrown out :rolleyes:

Carmen, next time bring long pants. I want to see you break it instead of me. :eek: :D

I've got to thank Carmen, Dennis, and Joe for working their arshes off to get my car ready for the 25th. Next time, we'll run it where it should be, in the 11's. Carmen, still feel like loosing more money to me????? :rolleyes:
