he was sure a 12.7 was all he could do. thanx to my relaying the tips grip gave me at a 1/8 mile we ran on streets he was able to launch the car and we had a neck and neck race. when my tcu puked he was long gone!! the car is fast and predictable. actually until i layed down a 12.2 solo pass he had the fastest street car at the track by a solid 1/2 second!
You taught this grasshopper well.
Thank you again for the memorable trip.
No, the
funniest thing was when we were joking about Alabama natives using 20# sledgehammers to fix
everything. Steve and I contemplated offering them a hand in installing the axle on the rubber-laying machine thingy. Of course, our assistance would have been limited to a metric set of wrenches. Positive that they would be confused, I then spouted this little gem (in my best country voice) :
"Millimeter? What the hell is that? One of dem little bugs with lots of legs?"
Steve **** bricks, hardest we laughed all day.
