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.
