Found my balls and drag race

[MSgt46270]

It was great to meet everyone today. I had alot of fun , that is except for when Ed kicked my ass.

That video was great, can you send me a copy ([email protected]).

Thanks and sorry for kicking your ass.

That was good! Is that from the hero wide camera? I would mount it out front on top of the bumper

Yeah, that was the first time I've used it. I'll try the bumper the next time. Funny thing, I forgot I was recording and it was left on until the batteries died so I didn't get any more races.

Great vids Ed, Joe

Had a great time, got a new best 60' and R/T but that's it. I'm still having problems with the 1-2 shift and I think that's killing my times.

Between having the battery die in the lanes and trying to burnout in 1st instead of 2nd and thinking the clutch was toast, My goal was to solidfy a good start line procedure so I didn't get forgetful or shaken up when next to a 5-6 second car/semi-pro car or something doesn't go right. for the three solid runs I did get in that part worked. So even with out new best times it all worked out.

Don, Donna thanks again for the hospitality and Joe for the use of your jack I appreciate it.

Seems you had fun. Congrats everyone.

That's not fair, the last time my engine was running was the 29th of october and my local racetrack is still covered by 30 cm of snow
2 month to go.

What is this you speak of? Both of these words are foreign to me.

This is the one that seems very foreign to me...............

She knows me like a book. She asked if I raced the car. I said yes, maybe, no. She said did you and I said "you don't know do you".

She knows, I just wouldn't give her a straight answer .

 

[US-1]

Should have said, "Hell yeah I raced the car. Now fix me a steak woman."



I know...probably why I'm divorced. Twice.

Been married almost 31 years (May). You just have to know when to give and take. The rest of the time you sneak what you can, works for me. LOL

 

[stkjock]

looks like a lot of fun and you guys have a great pit spot!!!

You forgot the one very most important thing........DENY, DENY, DENY and then DENY IT SOME MORE!!!!

 

[US-1]

Wasn't me.

Why is there rubber on the rear fenders?

Wasn't me.

Why do you smell like tire smoke?

Wasn't me.

Is that you on the video?

Wasn't me.

That's your car!

Hey!!! Wasn't me.

Are you sure you weren't at the drag strip?

Wasn't me.

Well.....maybe it wasn't you after all.

Told you it wasn't me. Now fix me a steak, woman.

Got worried last night, the old lady was on the forum last night looking for Don's video's. I kept looking to where she was going and then notice that she was on "Modularfords" forum. So I sent Don an email this morning to post his video's there too but without my car racing. Then I'll show her that posting and I should be in the clear then .

Oh yea... that was a helluva fun weekend, especially Saturday!!! It was great having a big group like that there.

There was about 7 S197forum members there today. It was a great turn out, if we knew there was going to be a turn out like that we would have had planned a BBQ.

Here is a group photo (L to R):
Brian (habu), Leo (Leo_06GT), Luis (superfly s197), Joe (joedls), Donna (GIRLTOOL), Don (don_w), Ed (msgt46270), and Grant (gmantheman)

What did Donna run?

Her best was the first run on Sunday... 6.72 @ 103.

I think the car is on a safe tune now.

Yep, we were playing it safe. My A/F guage sensor may not be working right. I was on the phone with Adam and we richened it up 8%, but the guage actually showed it to be leaner on the next run. It didn't make any sense, so since he couldn't be there, Adam had me pull 2* of global timing and just play it safe until he could spend more time on the tune. We did not want to hurt anything. Mission accomplished... I drove it to work today... dirty as hell, but running like a champ.

Looks like you guys had the best spot. I like that spot---wish I could have gone.

That is our favorite location. It makes for a great pit hangout spot. And I wish you could have been there too.

Don, Donna thanks again for the hospitality and Joe for the use of your jack I appreciate it.

Anytime! I really like having a big group there like that.

Oh, so now I'm an accomplice...

 

[ChevyKiller]

Awesome Ed and everyone!!!

Not really, just look at helping a friend in need. If finds out, then I may not be able to come out and play.
