Totally forgot about that...got to sell those 16% interest loans to those Grandpa's. Well, you'll still be able to go on Sunday's. And, we'll try to get you in on a track rental day...those are real fun...no pressure, and a good way to "hone" your skills on launching and RT's if you want.

6th and 7th I started consentrating on the R/T
6th was my best run
7th was against an Evo MR, his 60' was 1.780 vs my 2.203. He had me by like 3-4 cars of the line, but his car mid down the field like bogged out, I caught up to him but he beat me by .003 at 102.42
I had so much fun........ can't wait to run you know who
Way to go Ed
Hope I'm there when you race, you know who.

Nice going Ed!
Don, how the hell did you do that?
Bob, you can't learn how to shift faster, you just have to DO it....LOL
Watch the 11.7 video in my sig & listen to the shifts carefully & watch the front of my car.... You can do it pal. Oh, & getting thrown out for a 10.x is worth it! Now do it!
