    Default i suck at racing

    i ran today at the tunerfest, in a car that should run 13's and in the 12's with more tuning. i ran 14.68 at 100mph .what the hell? i saw guys running 13.50 at 100mph. i spun through 3rd so maybe that held me back. on the second run i blew out my clutch but i still beat the little nissan with a turbo and a h22 accord on the first run.oh and tunerfest alot of cool cars and cool people wish i could have stayed longer, if you didnt go you missed out.
    yes i am....

    i saw that,that was funny you waved to the vette as he passed you.i think your car should have been in the 14's you had a hell of alot of wheel spin and so did i.i was in the hatch on the first run.i pulled my tranny out today the little spings in my clutch disc are blown apart.im going to get another tommorow and go back friday with my slicks and run like hell.
    yes i am....
