Somebody check Rob's pulse, we got to make sure he is alive.

You gave Gater two tenths of a second head start.

Hey you guys try doing what I have for a few decades
and see how fast your reaction time is
I'm concentrating on launching right now, and since I managed
my best 60ft ever (which surely aint bad for stock everything)
"1.63" I'm ok with it BUT NOT THE ET'S *&@#$()@$)@$%@$

But after seeing the Vids again, I promise to make you all proud next time. I have no interest in bracket racing so it's never been a major issue for me, but fear not "I know when to leave"


Hey Don, how'd you do buddy ????
We haven't heard about it ???
Me, I'm soooooooooooo disappointed in my Et's it's not funny,
I never thought it would be so hot in April. You didn't see me make one pass in last summers heat, and you prob won't see me do it this summer either. My set up is set up for SAFE cold weather driving, and thats why I need 50's/60's for my best ET's, (and why I did so good at JDM day, it was cool and no bright sun)

I know I can throw more at it in the heat, but thats when it could get dangerous. I may consider less boost and more juice should I come across another hot day like that.
AND I PROMISE TO LAUNCH ON TIME OK hehehehe....

Had some problems last night with the computer so I'll try to have it up tonight. No promises though.(suck being new at putting up video) Rob I will try to send you a copy first
For the rest of you guys/gals the race may seem like any other but the post race trash talking is hilarious. So hope to have it up soon.

TX, The only thing we came up with is they must take the track temp at 5am in the morning under a shade tree,
OR SOMETHING
because believe me when I tell you, it was nowhere near as cold as the slips claimed it was ??? On the ride home crusing at 80 MPH, the outside temp in the L was still showing 82-84 degrees

Crp_diem you the Man
