great night at GB and some decent times too.

Hawk, Trigger, JohnyIroc, and I went to GB tonight for some racing. It was great to see Scott again (and my buddy Jasper) and to meet Adrian.

It was a cheap night at GB and we all got lots of runs in. there was another beautiful 3rd gen there that was running high 12s, and flat 13s. it was beautifulp; an all round good car.

i didnt have my slicks tonight cause i came right from work, but i was able to cut my best ever 60ft of 2.0. this is over 3 tenths better than ever before. it resulted in a new best ET too. 13.81@101.

i had a great time guys. lets do it again soon (next time will with slicks).


oh and i got pulled over on the way home from doing 80 in a 50 zone (honestly i didnt realize i was going so fast). anyway, i talked my way out of it.

Ya it was good meeting ya and seeing the rest of ya's again

My beast got slower basical every run. Started at 99mph and worked its way down to 94mph Did manage a 13.9 @ 96mph

Finaly blew my muffler guts all over 3/4 of the way down the track and too my surprise I ran 97mph that run. So I am thinking my muffler might of been abit plug'd. Too bad it was my last run so never got to see if I got my speed back. Car did feel alot faster toying with Dave on the way home

Kinda annoying when I ended last year getting 104mph every run, didnt do anything to the car except rebuild the blown trany. Pull it out and run a best of 99mph during my first four run's only so far this year.

JohnyIroc needs to get his car done soon, from what he was tellnig me is going into it, that thing should fly!!

As long as I can budget it out, I am game for nest week again
