gotta hate having a job :mad: :mad: :mad: Eh, it is a little too humid to be racing tonight anyway.... I wish they were open last night, I wanted to go ssssoooooooooooooooo bad. Well anyway I just got word of how the guys did on the 1st run...

Eric(actually Mike) ran a 16.1

Eric(actually Eric) ran a 15.4 with my old FWD(Yeah, its in better shape since I last raced it :rolleyes:

John ran a 16.4 with the 4.11 5mt which should get better when he gets his launch down and can row through gears a little better. I would imagine he can pull a 15 flat out of it with a good run

I am still waiting to hear about how they do on their second runs

Tom

Oh, and Chike, you better be sleeping if u wanna wake up and drive at 230 in the morning ;)

Tom

Not bad! What were the track conditions?
-Bill
p.s. Tom - got your message...remember to make sure your hands aren't greasy when Chike gets there :eek: :p

um...still trying to figure that comment out Bill????

Yeah I am not surprised that the FWD ran so well... I am on the phone with Eric now and no one but Eric(Mike) ran twice. Eric(Mike) ran a 15.9 for his final run

Tom ;)

Greasy hands tend to drop things :rolleyes:
-Bill

Bastard...have you ever used rubber gloves with engine assembly grease?? its slippery stuff

Tom

Hey! I know exactly who my Father is :p ....and yes, I've assembled an engine or two in my time...never dropped a camshaft though :eek: :D :D
-Bill
p.s. hey, shouldn't you be getting some sleep? I know Chike is going to want to get right to work as soon as he gets there!

well with needing to pull the trans yeah we are gonna have to start right away :rolleyes: ....Sleep is for chumps and old people(not saying ur old or anything ;)

Tom

What are you and chike cooking up?

You notice I'm still up ;) ... damn, but you're going to have a full day...heard a rumor that the job had gotten more "involved" :eek:
-Bill

MUCH more involved than expected :rolleyes:

Okay, so my reaction time is worse than most drunk drivers. And sadly, i started slowing down a little bit before the finishline. Didnt launch it either. But figure thats my first time ever on a drag strip, and the mistakes are forgivable. Next time I go there I hope to run low 15's or mabey even high 14's. Good thing is, even with my total drag-strip virginity, I managed to beat my oponent, and nabed the best time of the night. :D
Mike was the only one to do two runs, setting and achieving his goal of beating his first time. Im sure he will post his time cards.
John didnt do a second run because of a frayed belt.
I didnt do a second run becasue I didnt feel like waiting in line again.
All in all, had a blast, got some decent times, and a few funny looks from civic drivers. What a night!

Eric
Nice job for the first time out....applying a little "ChikeMath", you're probably in the 13s! :eek: (okay, so I'm kidding....you're probably in the 15.3-.4 range)
