I'm trying to work it out so I can make it...I really want to hit up Thill again and I'm probably not going to make it to the Shelby Cub Mini Nats on August 6th.

Oh yea, NCRC (norcal racing club) has an event at Thill on Monday 8/8. I'm on vacation for the next two weeks so i "may" try and hit this up. Are you working on the 8th??? their prices are very reasonable too! Hit me up [patriot]

Definitely gonna break her in, I'm pretty happy with this motor so far. Idles very smooth and has plenty of torque. She breaks the wheels loose in 3rd, lol. It was 92 degrees on the drive up and she ran on the cool side. I still get decent gas mileage as well, 170 miles and only use a half tank.

Yup, both days. I'm driving tomorrow and my pops will be behind the wheel on Sunday. I'm not letting my self get excited until my wheels hit the track this time. I got my GoPro ready to roll also, so everybody can see how slow I am, LOL

So how was your first time on track jay?!?!?! I bet by the time you read this post your adrenaline will still be pumping LOL [dance]

Words can't explain. I was in the zone on my last 2 sessions. The new motor pulls like a MoFo out of the corners. I basically drag raced with a brand new srt8 challenger on the straight away and past him doing 110 - 115. All I got to say is, my name is Jayson and I'm addicted to SPEED! It's a hell of a drug. LOL. My fuel line popped off on the back staight out of turn 8. The clip that connects the hose to the fuel filter failed. I happened towards the end of session 3. I got towed in, jacked it up and figured out the problem in less than a minute. I ran to the local Napa and grabbed a new filter with clips. Got back and installed it and still had a hour to burn before the last session. Infineon next month, who is down? BTW Ian I picked you up 1 of those white stickers you wanted of the outline of T Hill.

Yes yes yes!!! Great to hear that you too are now addicted! Now we can go out and have some fun at infineon [Whoo Whooooo!] Sorry to hear about the mishap but good work getting it fixed quick! Good looking out for the sticker too! I'll get you back for it when we hook up. I'm already going to sign up for infineon so don't worry about being out there alone for that event [Wink] Post up some pics and videos when you get a chance [patriot]

That was funny except the part about your fuel line. Way to get back up and ride again.

you need a video editting software....if you have a Mac use ivideo or something like that. For PC's there is usually a Microsoft video editting software already installed on the computer. Or just download a free version. (sorry i completely forgot what software I'm using right now).
