Default Cobras

Man was it good to be back last night! Though it would have been more fun if I had more than 2 hours sleep in the last 24 hours, cuz I just couldn't stay. Even went out trolling with the bottle CLOSED, and that doesnt happen when I go to the corner store even.

Both runs not set up, but still fun, as i am learning this new gear combo still. A black mid nightys Cobra pulls up and gives a re while I am just cruisn mindin my own bidness, so even with out my lil blue freind I grinned and nodded and we went from i think about a 50mph roll. I was in 2nd and when the bright light said it's finally time to shift to 3rd it was over, but I only had a couple cars on him. Nice guy--never seen him before, and we exchanged thumbs up and pulled into a local pit stop to see why I had no bottle pressure. Do'H! Bottle was closed--note to self: SLEEP DUMBASS!

2nd run was over a longer stretch of track with a TR guy here, if he wants to chime in, thats great, but I won't name names. It was nothing set, but it the time was just right and there was a lot of open track...and a video camera... heheh. so WTf, why not. I arm both stages, cuz I know this car is pretty stout, and I am not sure how mine will react with the new gears, and not even running for the last 5 weeks. 1st gear about 30 ish...I hear him nail it and then so do I--WHOA no traction!! But we are pretty even, maybe I am a lil ahead. When I run out of 1st gear traction isssue is solved and I start to pull ahead, stage two comes in and it's over. Fun run and a great guy, with a gorgeouse car.

Should have been another run, with a certain red Supra but I just couldn't hang. Got the call about 130am on my way home, and had to decline being completly exhausted. We have each others #'s so it will happen, hopefully this coming weekend, as I am really looking forward to seeing how this new gear ratio will react to a high speed high roll run.
Met some new peeps from here and got to see some guy's I havent seen in weeks, so it was a damn fine evening.

Hey bud, it was good to meet you, and I am sure it will be a good run. I have only ran 1 Supra before (Chris') so I am really looking forward to seeing how mine stacks up to one.
