Dude... I drove the car to work today... Had a HUGE smile on my face, grin ear to ear... but when I have to think about launching it at 7000rpm while having a cold... i get a little uneasy lol

Im still going to try and make it, even if I don't stay till 10pm, I just want to get least 2 or 3 shakedown passes before the EFI event next weekend.

Yeah because launching that beast and shifting it up to 130+ in 10 seconds (or less ) isn't something to be nervous about even without being on medication!

Well that was a complete and utter waste of time. did anyone get more then 1 pass in? I only got one and really messed up really bad. Anyone else have trouble hooking. I blew threw first, second, and thrid. and honestly, i shouldnt have enough power to do that if the track if preped correctly. It was probrably me though, since i dont think i did a long enough burnout for how cold it was out.

What color is your car? I was there before the gates opened and made 3 passes. Unfortunately all I did was discover that my car won't shift @ high rpms with the new clutch so it was a waste for me anyway.

I could not wash the sand out of my vigina in time... came home and found out I was running a slight fever... that would have been fun... 7000rpm launch + cold night + first time out with new setup + cold/fever = loose

Oh well, Ill try for next Wed night...

Honestly You guys didn't miss to much, I did manage to get 3 passes in preparation for the upcoming weekend the one thing I was happy about was cutting .028, .019 & .006 lights on the tree.

1st pass I spun like a bitch and most of the time I don't have issues 2nd pass was decent but I had to wait to long at the line, 3rd pass I just barley got in before 10 pm over a 3 hours wait. 3 oil downs in a row all the way down to the big end. Got a couple things to figure out on the 60 ft.
