gotta hate having a job 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 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 |

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 |

My Official Timecard Info
Temperature- 57f
Relative Humidity-89% Absolute baro- 29.15 Reaction time - .742 60 - 2.273 330 - 6.491 1/8th - 9.71 MPH - 70.83 990 - 12.915 1/4 - 15.680 MPH - 83.45 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. 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! |

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