I know you were feeling down all night, waiting to finally run and right off the line the control arm breaks. We were all laughing because he stayed in it the whole time. His car was all over the track from launch.

At least you didn't blow your engine and oil down the track like that damn slow turbo/nitrous CRX that clean up took over an hour on [Mad]

So what did the car end up running?

I'm guessing you were racing on ET Streets?

17.48 @ 64.xxx I went to get the time slip just for memories of Joe's first pass. [worship]

Saturday he should be ready to play were going to get the slicks mounted up today as the drag radials are done. The inner left rear tire got ate up pretty bad.
