When I went to runday sunday last week at DeSoto I got spanked by a little teal hatch. Was that flounder or bry? That car ran real strong. I got him off the line but after that all I saw was tail lights

Maybe next time.
I think the import guys were kinda gunning for me there at the end.


I over heard you tell another Mustang owner your best time to date was a 13.3 and you told me you were running 3-4 tenths slow then normal. Well that would put you at a 13.7-13.8 best on the day. Also when we raced we both spun and and only ran a 14.4 on that pass and won the race.(I thought you let off cause i passed you in third). Dont take this the wrong way you where cool to me just confused.

So who was who down there? I only talked to a couple of people. Which one of you guys was Flounder Bry etc.? That one little blue car I raced ran pretty strong.
All in all kind of a shitty day for racing. Maybe the nitrous cars run OK in that heat but my car hates it. I was 3-4 tenths off of where my car should have been because of the heat and that 20mph headwind.
Hope to get an Email from the guy with the footage of me racing that little blue car.

Thats the way they run sunshine but you have to wait 30 minutes. I just hope they dont do Quick 8s during T&T at desoto or the street cars will never get to run.

The track was to sticky for me on Thursday night. Cant imagine what it was during a hot Saturday morning. Im going to have to get a set of bald tires jus for the track.

Bry were you the one with the little blue hatch? Well someone might have heard me say the last time I had the car at Bradenton it went 13.30 because Saturday was the first trip to Bradenton with the Vortech. It went 13.34 in December NA with just a gear and exhaust.Im just feeling out the blower and tune right now and expect to see some pretty low 12s I hope.
That run where the other Honda blew past me was a botched shift. I just backed out of it no reason to stay in it at that point.
Well it was cool meeting you guys.Im sure Ill see you at the track again.
Anybody know where I can get a copy of that video of that race?

I thought something happened cause for a sec we were side by side then I just left you. That was pretty sucky to wait an hour to run then mess up down the track. It was a shitty run for me that time too.

I was already pissed because some lady cut me off in the staging lanes. Was that you next to me. Ive never had problems like that down there.Maybe it will get better. The guy in the staging kept rushing me when I was doing my burnout. I really have to heat those Drag Radials up to get them to work at all.
Hey94TSIAWD thanks for the video.

Its the whole percieved notion that a Honda is an econo-car. Just wait for the reactions if I get my car to run a 13 or whatever. Look...that 2-door minivan just ran a 13!

Of course right after that run Im sure somthing will be broken.
