Sorry I didn't find this thead sooner.
Just a little humbling moment for you Ron. I believe at 1320 you laughed at me when I told you we would be a good race. Then it took your best time ever on street tires to edge out my 13.4 (also on street tires) in the last 100 ft of the track. This was in a 2+ ton full frame, full leather interior, 4 door, a/c, etc. daily driven street car that has never had the valve covers off. I had to pedal the car, so I know my 60 ft. was shit (it was 2.45 at sunshine the week before) so I don't want to hear about rear drives hooking up. I know you have done more to your car, and I'd like to think I may have even inspired that, but I am looking forward to our rematch track day, and yes, I will also be on slicks. But honestly Ron, if I can ride 5 deep to the track, using cruise control, a/c, etc., have a stock engine with nitrous and some boltons, weigh more than two tons and even stay on the same block with you, how can you say times are changing?
Edit: PS-I've also got over 126,000 miles on this motor.
