Official return to the track

[psfracer]

Well, 3 1/2 months after my accident, I went to the track on 5/25/09 (LA Invasion) and made 6 passes. Best MPH was 131.28mph.

The track was actually ok--not great but not bad. I need to relearn the lights (R/T ranged from .054/.095/.116/-.035/-.095) so basically I was all over the place. I also need to get used to shifting the new transmission, as sometimes I shifted early, sometimes late.

Based on the 330 time I just got at Irwindale two days ago (4.227), this car should easily turn a high 10.2X when everything gets sorted out.

Good news is the accident has not effected my track manners at all. I feel right at home doing 130+mph in 10 seconds--not nervous at all. I still get nervous on the freeway though when I am pulling the trailer and get next to Semi's.

Yeah, I didn't have the in car camera mounted yet, and everyone else was busy racing--and the other half wasn't with me this time, so no vids. Too bad to, as I killed a couple of LS1 camaros, an early 70s Nova, and an SRT8 Charger. I also, killed Ken3030s car--doesn't matter if the driver go out of it, I still won hahaha.

Great to hear it Paul! Excellent numbers, and welcome back! I can't wait until we all get together at the track again!

Barona road trip---when do you want to go? I like that track. Plus I can come over and make sure the lift is working properly....

Congrats Paul , glad to hear your back on the track.

Thanks. Hopefully you can get out there soon.

Way to go! Nice numbers man. I was off the track from more than half a year. It took me 26 passes before I started runing my old numbers. You seem to be finding your groove a lot better than I would have expected.

BTW, did you have to replace the car? I saw the pics. It looked totaled.
