    Well I can't account for the manners of others but I'm more than happy to take their cash for a valuable lesson.
    My car that day would have ran 8's but my track guy stated the track was not prep and slippery up top so I ran a 9.5 first past jogging. Well the motor was done for anyways so the second pass I told the wife I'm going to finish the motor for the crowd. She gave me the thumbs up so fuck it. I went from a mild 35psi to a never ran 45psi or 50psi and if you where there you saw the bottom of my car a bent wheelie bar then at the 8th the motor lockup and I coasted 9.3 at 168.

    I aint got time to play with a boy that got his first swap and thinks it a race car.

    Are you talking about IFO in Montgomery last November? That's when you bent the wheelie bar.

    Yeah I'm not able to go to every track day like I would like to with crazy work schedules. Being a father/husband and building two cars plus maintaining the home and other daily drivers we drive. Things have priorities my way. But my toys are always ready for battle for a small amount of

    We should do a rotary v.s. pistons match one day. Or V6 v.s. 4bangers. Or bring the V8's to run the imports heads up.
