When you are going out to beat a tough PB it is not much fun when your constanly let down. The thing is to do your best while having fun. I forgot about that. I use to go out and just have so much fun just tring to beat my reaction times. I am back now, it is on.

I beat a 2009 Shelby GT 500 with a lot of mods on it. I can`t complain about that.The thing is the air was great last night , who knows what would happened. My time is coming soon.

Exactly just a number, and a goal. That is not quintessential to going out to the track. The Fun somewhere along the line, I lost that.

I did have a check engine light come on the way home. No big deal just a failing alternator. My bottle heater may have caused it`s demise.
Yeah, we live and die by the bottle......

Hmm that would be a good thing to have . I have 2 bottles and both are empty. Not next week though. I am Freezing these now . I wonder how much you can save with a re-filling station?

Hey Bkid, pull up the carpet and remove the jewt under it.

That will save you a little more weight.

Also remember weight is not necessarily your enemy...weight in the wrong place will kill you.

Might try putting a 25lb shot bag in your trunk over the driver side tire...just to see what happens.

Forgive the rookie question, but what is a jewt? Something tells me this is a joke and I am going to be at the end of it.

I am looking for weight off the front , I may try moving the battery over the drivers side tire.

If I'm not mistaken he's talking about the jewt backing of the carpet should be able to peel it off.
