I would love to but I need a little more lead time than this. I have Child care issues with the wife working till 11:00 pm. We will see about it next track day.

an 1/8 mile track is just as lame as a 1/16th track would be... :lol:

Although you are right about the weather, it is kick-ass, and i did think about hitting up sunshine, for about 3 seconds.

Right.

And what was your excuse for not comming to track day at BMP? :roll: I am sure the track officials at Sunshine will let me run with my 3 month old in the car as long as he is strapped into his carseat. :mullet:

Hmm, with a little more lead time I would have thought about coming out. Oh well, maybe next time.

I didn't hear any LS1 call outs, so I guess I'm not welcome. Otherwise, I'd love to come put the smack down on some worked CL. LOL :D :lol:

get a fast car and you won't feel that way.. ;)

I mean, 107mph in the 1/8th isn't slow, although that's what some of you do in the 1/4...

Come to BMP and I'll show you 125mph trap speeds :D

(in my "slow" civic)

My car just isn't setup for the 1/8th.

yes i was running 8.8/8.9 on spray, i dont have an anti ballooning plate on the TC and i also have traction issues, so i dont spray till i hook up in 2nd gear.

i was also asked to leave cause the bottle wasnt properly strapped in, thats all...nothing like i was trapping 110 or anything :lol: i could only wish though.

Is your car silver with aftermarket wheels? Maybe it was you I raced a couple of times?

You know I'll have to take you up on that... :mullet:
You're going to have to wait until early next year if that is ok, still in the rebuilding process after my last "problem"...:(

Don't worry about it. I was there and took care of business for you and Richard even though I am the slowest silver Vette of the club. :)

there was a stang i ran twice...close as hell both times, i didnt see his slip, but im guessing the one i won is because i tree'd him...you can make up so much just by being quick off the line.

But I am a turtle compared to the other 2 silver Vettes. :) Besides turtles have shells (helmets) right? ;)

Sounds like you have the reation times down pretty good. As for me I only go to the strip about 4-5 times a year. I guess you noitced that I fell asleep a few times at the tree. I am there just to run a better time (mostly mph) and don't really care about who wins. I did my best ever that night. My best 60' and ET so my PCM tuning is getting better. I did 8.0 @ 90 mph. The lines got to long to push for 7s. No big deal the cooler weather will give me that for sure.

You car seems to run good. I bet you surprise some V8s.
