So am I Sarah.... I'm heading up there for one sole reason.........so I could redeem myself from the spanking you gave me last year..... :(

Now what? :eek:


All kidding aside.... Will miss you as well. Hope everything works out for you and hope to see you back in the saddle at West Fest 2011.

I'm working on getting back in the saddle! :) I'll be there for West Fest 2011 for sure, and will be planning on lining up w/ you first at the drags!!

Thanks Pierre! Looking forward to see you next year!!

Okay, so I've been wondering why two weeks before fest I was able to get a 15.9 on the drag strip, and at fest 16.2...

It's not concrete evidence however before waterlands (first drag racing) I put at least a double shot of powerservice into the tank. For fest I neglected to do so.

I suppose the only way to prove my theory is to put a couple shots of the stuff in and go down for some drags before changing anything else

Maybe I was just being too nice to my car... didnt want to break it again.

What's that mantra:
You weren't trying hard enough if you didn't win or break your car?

It was (the Joneses) sticker that gave you the bad luck on the time.

60'----330----1/8----mph----1000----1/4----mph
2.342-6.593--10.173-68.99--13.295--15.930-85.51
2.525-6.902--10.521-68.57--13.645--16.276-85.86

almost the same 1/4mph and .2 difference in your 60' easily explains .3 at the end - you came out of the hole slower so you ended up at the finish line later - you can see it carry all the way through your other trap times

I just realized the winner of this years Drag Races was kinda cheating. He's got a sponsor! Look at the lower left side of his car for the sticker :p

Brian,,, you only get 36.3 mpg on that Beetle,, I imagine you really stomp on the pedal all the time to get that kind of MPG ,,
