Well since the dawn of time I have told Richie, Steve, Mike, terrence, etc... that I will one day be out to 1/4 race but everyone thought I was bluffing. Well needless to say this past friday I finally had the oppertunity to play with the Big Boys and Girl. And I must say WHAT A BLAST. My first run of the night was a whooping 12.2@123. And Carrie was KICKING my ***. I larned real quick that the woman can drive and drive really good. As we pressed through the night I think I lined up with her and Richie 8 times, losing every damn race. HAHA I muust say in that one evening I learned more about driving then I have in the past 4 years. After each race everyone was talking to me, giving me suggestions and it began to pay off. By the end of the night I started backing up 11.6X runs. richie came over and made my night when he looked at me and said "finally opened up the bottle" I smiled and said "Nope no nitrous tonight" and showed him the main line coiled under my pass seat floor mat. At that very moment I realized maybe the Bling Machine is a runner. I have worked hard on the car and learned alot both personally and mechanical needless to say I am really starting to enjoy this car. Best run of the night was a 11.62@ 124mph. My 60' was 1.88 so with some work I think I can get a low 11.50-11.45. Thanks again again everyone on Friday that was the best time I have had since owning a Corvette

I have always said that driving your car is a lot more fun then waxing, polishing and Q-tipping the wheels.

HAHA Thanks guys. There is going to be a long learning oppertunity here. I took so much in on Friday and it slowly started to pay off. I want to get booted without Nitrous.

Congrats Teddy How does it feel being one of the big dogs ? Now stop playing with your car and enjoy it more. I hope in a month or two I will see you at the track with my new toy

Thanks everyone. Yes like I have said I have really learned allot both for myself and the car. the community can offer you so much as long as you dont buy into the BS that surrounds it. This is the biggest thing I have learned here.

Jerome, thanks but I think I still have a ways to go. At 11.60 it is fast but I am not happy. I have a hell of a nitrous kit that will surely take me where I want to go, but I dont plan on using it, until I can make this a 11.49 (niner fan so it sounds good. HAHA) car. That is me dropping 1.3 off my best which I think is totally doable with a 1.88 60'.

Carrie- Girl or not you can fricking drive. I did not see a single missed shift and when I was banging gears you would walk telling me your shifts were indeed faster. You are indeed a drag racer. HAHA

Thanks Teddy! It's all about practice!
