I want to play with the rear of my car and the stripe. I was thinking of blacking the whole rear out and some how incorporating that with the Strasky and Hutch stripe I have.

Chu's brother, nice pics man. You made my car look good, as well as some other real nice shots. It was pretty ****ty weather too at that particular time, luckily it cleared up by the last 2 runs. We were laughing in grid saying it was like 2 different events, first 2 runs totally slick, 3rd run some grip and 4th run good to go.
Absolutely... I picked up six seconds between run #1 and #3.

I didn't get to socialize with the SM-Q's as much as I wanted to... how did everyone do? I heard times of 58's being thrown around.

Ben, thanks for running out and getting food for everyone. that was my first tony luke's!

I was pleased with how the car felt, but it was obvious I have alot of rust to shake off. I can't wait for a sunny day in warminster with no fear of sliding into a curb/light pole to really let loose. good times.
My first Tony's too, hit the spot today.

The weather did suck. When you finally get to run it makes up for it though.

chu, I think I am going to pick up a flo and go this week and fill it up in norristown (where jim goes....not lansdale) and see if there is a difference.

there is definitely a difference in what i pumped in last week to get tuned on and what i filled up with this past saturday at the same station. i noticed that it was pulling differently so after some driving around i topped off with what i had in the garage from the prior week and it felt better. i may call the station and say something. it really isn't good. i think it may just be a lower amount of ethanol what i got.

josh agreed that it pretty much smells like pump gas.

Marc- nice job today, you ran good times your first time on r compounds in adverse weather conditions. I think you will really get to like running on the 285's it definitely makes a big difference.

Thanks for the 1/2 of sandwich, dude that was a total life saver! I was friqqin starving! Next time you guys make a Tony Luke's run, first come over and tell me so I can give you cash to get me something. Next, you guys have to try the veal cutlet with broccoli rob - also the roast pork with broccoli rob and roasted peppers MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... only drawback is you will stink for the rest of the day, especially if you sit in your car and eat it.

Did the price change, or anything indicate that they got another tanker in?

you want the offset bushing that adds caster, same one I have, not the zero offset.

I'm waiting for these results to get posted to see how everyone did.

nope. no change. i can't imagine that there are that many filling up with e85 there either. so if they filled it up with something not so good then it could take all summer to get rid of it i would think.

Video from today, my fast run 52.8 something.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wZ4enQHViw Not good enough to beat Chuck Norris & Bruce Lee Team, must try harder next time!

I am really not liking my bullet camera video, really considering the Contour HD cam. Anyone have one?
