Its a proven fact that white cars are slow. Your's will only be the lowest because mine isn't going on the dyno. Wanna caravan down? I'm right by the East Falls Church Metro

I nly wish I had fodder to fight them white car insult....But sadly, not yet.

As for a caravan, sounds good. I live a few blocks behind the Safeway on Rt 29 across from Jefferson Memorial right inside the beltway so I am right around the corner.

I would suggest we race the quarter mile for the crown but I think most people would die of old age before we actually hit the finish line!

I just got back from my little vacation in the north woods of PA. My brain is too fried to figure out what food to bring, so I'll deal with that later.

The highlight of the trip was getting a short movie clip of a VERY ANGRY rattlesnake on the side of the road about 4 feet from my car. I had the camcorder in the car with me or there would not be a film. The first one I ever saw in my life in the wild, a big sucker. Did I say an ANGRY snake? My niece ran into a black bear walking on the road a couple hundred yards from the cabin where they're staying. Besides the eagles, elk, and coyotes a lot of wildlife is coming back in upstate PA.

And that's only 200 miles away from NOVA and MD where we see none of this. No cell phone signals up there as soon as you get off Rt. 220.


My Corvette is up on ramps with a leaking clutch slave. No BK this weekend for me.

yamobethere in the 1-2PM range, already had committed to doing the drags at Mason-Dixon from 8am-12pm, assuming the event fills to capacity and/or doesn't rain...so I will dyno in the later part of the day, allow for that if you would please

Since I will be at the drags I can only bring non-perishables such as chips/popcorn/doritos/various snacks
