Lol. That's when I got my 12.8 so ha...and I'm only NA.

I'm just giving you shit. Its only getting in the 70's here now so I should get some decent times next time out.

I'm just giving it back. I'm a shitty driver. I need more seat time at the track. I should be running 12.3 easy.

Hell yeah man. Meet up in Ennis or something. There's a really nice 1/4 mile track there.

Do it when it's 95 degrees out after driving an hour and a half, and then I'll give you your props.:omfg:
Been there, done that, got the timeslip. (stock coyote) :evillaugh:

Your car will definitely pick up with some practice and the cooler temps we're about to have.

Let me help you out here Jaye! You said you were going against a 724hp Challenger right?


He had a Kenne Bell blower, Nitrous and meth kit. He was well over 700 to the wheels.

And thanks I couldn't get it to embed for some reason.

Installed my SLP line lock today and went ahead and installed my front stainless steel braided brake lines.

Ran some good times today even though it was 90+ degrees.

must be the added weight from the new spoiler lol

No he ran great. Got a new personal best running on my drag radials. I had drag radials on for the first time against him so I was gripping finally.
