Default Lakeland Track tonight.

I the past two weeks I've ran my car at the lakeland eigth mile and can barely top a 10.8 normally I run at 10.4 or so. Took me a while to figure it out, well not really that long. But I know why my times dropped so dramatically.

I patched up a leak in the exhaust just after the header. My header runs to stock exhaust. Well before I patched it up I ran a 10.4 and a 10.375, after I patched it I can't even touch a 10.7 Wish I could afford to put a real exhaust on my car *sighs*


I still beat a 2004 v-6 Mustang 3 times, a Civic Hatch with a swapped motor, and lost too a 7 second Mustang somehow Was still fun, but it pisses me off after I put a FPR and a few other things I still can't even touch the times I was running a month ago. bleh

I'm actually getting better 60 ft times but trapping slower now.

Oh and MR2GRL, that was some funny shit at the track. My friend Mike was like wtf when you gave him the bird after he waved at you Sorry you couldn't get a 9.9 10.02 is pretty damn close though! Take out your passenger seat for a pass

I don't have payments. I paid $900 for my car. I have no job at the moment because dealerships are a bunch of cockbites. I have to pay $900 a semester for school and this and that bill so yeah, exhaust is not a priority at the moment If I can get a job soon and keep my opinions to myself or find a job where i don't have to then I'll put some more stuff into my car like the turbo setup that's waiting

what school do you go to? I can get you in the Army national guard, that way you could have some extra money man, also, why do you have to work at a dealership? as a salesman or mechanic?

yeah, I love the school. If you want to go there's a huge waiting list so you better enroll early.
