1) That the lack of a limited slip differential (i.e. Trak-Lok) on the '05 Sixers is a drag.
2) That the stock 3.55's on the Sixer do a GREAT job getting the Pony to 90 mph...just not in a quarter mile.
3) That I will probably always have The Fear about stalling out at the start line, since I'm driving a stick.
4) That 210 horsies is alot, but...NOT ENOUGH.
5) That the reason why I couldn't get my right foot to stop shaking after my very first run was because, yeah, I was HUGE nervous.
6) That the smoky burnt smell of melting rubber takes several hours to get out of your system (like your lungs).
7) That it was flat-out freakin' AWESOME...definitely a sport, definitely pressure, definitely great people, and definitely worth doing again!

I absolutely hear you!!! I am so addicted now! LOL!!! I've only gone to "Test & Tunes" and I still have an absolute blast! Like you I was a nervous wreck the first time I went! Now I'm much more relaxed... but I still get all geeked up when I start to stage! LOL!

Thanks! Was hoping to run tomorrow at Norwalk... we put the stock springs back in and a set of rear drag shocks... so the car should hook better... maybe pick up a tenth or two... But there is an 80% chance of rain tomorrow... Three hours is a long drive just to get rained out! LOL! And it looks like it's going to rain all weekend around here too! LOL! ARGH!
