I did a 6 to 6 today then stopped by after work and naturally the car was all ready in the trailer. I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow  to see the video to see how it ran. 

Got to meet AKABUZZ and the gang -- -- Tried to get over to see Hector three times and all I found was a empty trailer (and a whole bunch of empty cans) and I was too tired too troll the lanes to find them.

Did get to see someone break their new years resolution (I won't name any names)-- -- Dude you almost made it out of  January Hee Hee

Then those BIG MEANIES grabbed my arm and twisted it until it almost broke and they made me promise to bring out the Slow Fiat next Thursday and damn it I've ran out of excuses -- -- SSSOOOOOOOO now I know of two really fast cars and one slow car that will be there anybody else gonna make it?HuhHuhHuh??

Thanks Lance
 Hummm? That was the 2nd run and it I even spun the tires at the line, on that run also???  Huh But my 60’ time was 1.36 ?? I need to work on my shocks.. My backend was squatting down allot at each gear shift I was slapping my wheel bars on the track all the way down?? I had a low boost setup in the car all I wanted to check out was the new clutch setup, and it is so nice Thanks to BugPack and Marty  Grin

John They are good, I see what I need to work on, the funny thing...... the first run I was driving the Chit out of the car, it was everything but straight? but I don't see it on the video? The driver needs some more seat time, and small shocks changes, I will be out there in two weeks!!! but now the car... well...... going some pre season tune up  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Wink

Thanks for the help Lance and John
