Jim, you should have seen our group stand up and applaud when you hit 11.4, hahah. To your credit, it was hot and humid out, track was prolly dangerously slick, and you had some Falken all-seasons which didn't help traction at all. There's definitely more time for you and Ben, both.
All seasons work great for drag racing, they have a softer sidewall that allows for more flex, in turn, allowing more foward traction. /By the end of the day my tires were blistered with rubber lining my mudflaps lol..

BTW Jim, lmk if you need any help.. T-cases are a fairly easy swap and can be done in your driveway if you need to..

Hey did Pete or Chu try calling me earlier? I saw a number I didn't recognize so I didn't answer it. Pete, I could definately use the help if you think it can be done. I just hate the idea of towing it to JNZ to have them diagnose the problem only to tow it to my house and wrench on it. I'll have to wait and see.

Nope, I didn't call. But Pete should be able to help you diagnose the problem, right Pete? Help save you some money if we can. I can definitely help this weekend if you guys need a hand. I'm back in philly Thursday night.

Jim, I'm very impressed with your time. Hella good drivin lad.

Sorry to hear that she broke though. I know you'll get it back up and running shortly, unlike some other people I know (yes thats a crack at myself).

On a side note, my car is getting towed tonight to Adams. Hopefully it won't be too long now...

Anyone want to let me drive their car next weekend? I gotta scratch the itch somehow...

dek, a person came into the hospital with the same symptoms i have? wow i would think the ER would be a little dramatic but oh well. I am on day 5 of being tonsil free, they felt okay for the first days and now pretty garbo. pain meds dont work and im dying for real food. i think im just going to come see you for post op, where do you work out of?

jim, dude congrats on the run! that is wicked fast. going by your trap speed and 60ft she def has a little more left in her esp if your bouncing the rev limiter. Wish i could been out there cheering you on, sounds like a great day. get some tires, throw some meth on (you werent using it were you?) and go for that 10 sec pass!

petey congrats on your run as well. sounds like you ran her hard. to bad on the wheels but i guess they will have to be a late bday present for myself haha. you had the 10.5 on for these last passes right? whats coming up next in the future...?

that's a secret unless you're having some real complications which doesn't sound to be the case. besides what can a milk man do for you?

if you want to eat real food, try this: Have your doctor call in a perscription for a lidocaine swish and spit/swallow (viscous lidocaine 2%) or find some strong over the counter variant (the pharamcist can help you). You can also use it in combination with any NSAID gel capsule like advil (if you're still bleeding i wouldn't use this). Break open the gel cap and mix it with a little lidocaine (like 15ml) and swish it around the area and swallow when finished (yes you have to swallow b!tch). That should numb the area up enough to eat again for a couple of hours. You could also take a pain med with it all too but that may be a bit of overkill.

i don't assume responsibility for your heart stopping, your excessive bleeding or your operating turbo'd machinery.

You got yourself a ride here buddy. I'm suprised you didn't ask last time...I though you just couldn't go! But if you beat me in my own car, I will tell Adam to hold off of your car for 2 more weeks

I appreciate the offer guys but my association may be jerkoffs about pulling the car apart. I'll just have to wait and see. Oh and thanks for the comments guys. Maybe I can get my meth going so I can run down to Atco with Ben and Pete to pull off some 10's. Ben's got the trap speed, just has to get some traction or let me drive it....haha lol!

The autox in Warminster is on Sunday, August 30th.

Marc, I still owe you lunch if you find a ride somehow and show up. Maybe Dan will let you rock his X,

Kinda suck if you can't work on your own car right. I can understand if you had different cars there every weekend, but check anyways.
