I believe that was just pump gas and he was using my old M/T radials on stock rims so believe me when I say there is a lot left in it.

Today was absolutely perfect! The track was prepped really well, the air was dry, the barometric pressure was high, the temps were warm enough to hook and cool enough to provide dense air... I would MUCH rather run like we did today than go to the track on a weekend. The only time I waited was when there was a spill on the track. Jason did a great job today of wearing about 6-8 different hats. After the spill I was thinking about bailing out, but when he said the track was 100% I felt a lot safer and jumped back in there.

Loved seeing that sled run.
It was a pleasure chasing the tai lights of a 9sec L

I got to check out that Caddy at the gas pumps. It is a first class build for sure. Very nicely done.

I just could not bring myself to ask how much money was tied up in that build.

Nice mixed turnout of some very quick cars!

Congrats to Gadget! Very impressive passes for the first time out. More impressive though...you went out there and walked the walk.....instead of sitting on the internet talking the talk! Thumbs up!

heres a random question. the person in the benz that was next to me on my 9.98 pass would by chance still have his timeslip? I let my wife take mine, it to work to get laminated and it got ruined.

if I could just get a good photocopy I would be THRILLED!! it was car 22, ran a 12.126@118.01. I think it was a black E class.

I hope you can find that slip.

I think the guy you are looking for lives in VA and has a beautiful black E55.

I will look when I get home. I do know I only have one 9 second slip, and I raced two 9 sec cars....you and the pick up truck.

If i have it, it's yours!
