I still snort those pixie sticks. I'm up to 2 of those big plastic ones a day. Can't start the day without them.

And we couldn't afford 6 flags as a kid. The dryer had to do!

Can she fix my mental block I'm having that is causing missed shifts? I was thinking of seeking counseling before the fall racing season.

Thanks sickpuppy for all the support. Looks like I may need more support then even I thought. I raced a buddies 06 Z06 with Vararam and 100mm MAF. Did a 1st gear roll and he got me by about 1/2-3/4 car to 125-130mph. Also did a 2nd gear pull and he got me by about 1/2 a car to 125mph. Those things are absolutely monsters! Plus the SOB is getting headers and Ypipe this weekend at Carlisle. So i'm really gonna be getting it. Well I was told by a good friend hey you know when you're getting on it the car shoots out some serious blue smoke and I noticed recently that the car has started smoking some at idle now too However I did crack 100K miles tonight at 100+MPH on video

Getting an early start aren't you. It's still August. I wasn't going to get out there and make an attempt at 10s until October at the earliest. I guess I better order my new tires soon and get to the track if I want to beat you to the 10s.

Any supporting vendors want to help me beat Fartpipe into the 10s?

I'd love to see some Red vs Black. I'll talk him into it this fall at Atco or maybe I'll wander down to his local track. It will be our final battle! The rivarly will end that day.
