Well, it was yet another exciting day at the track! I will keep this brief, I need to fire up the grill and put down a few cold ones.

Last week:

• 13.9

This week, after Excessive firmed up the shifts on my tune:

• RT: .184
• 60: 2.077
• 330: 5.681
• 1/8: 8.732
• MPH: 79.83
• 1000: 11.390
• 1/4: 13.647
• MPH: 99.11

Also, here’s a cool story. I was in the staging lane. And the only other 2005 pulls up behind to me, it was a GT of course. It was Jr. Dragster time so he gets out and I go, “beautiful car man” and he was like “man, I love that spoiler”. So we chatted it up about the spoiler and I was like, “how you doin today on the track?”, he was like “man, I can’t break out of a 13.9”, I was like “yea, there was another 05 here last weekend that couldn’t bust out of 13.9 either”, and he was like “yea, when I bought this car, I was thinking on the 6 or 8, but just couldn’t stomach a 6. It’s like a non-alcoholic beer, know what I mean?”. I realized he thought my car was a 8, probably cause of the GT bumper despite he was parked behind me and I had a huge 4.0 emblem on the trunk. So I nodded my head and he goes “man, I saw you rip off a 13.6, what you got running on that thing?”. Perfect!!!! I he walked right into it, I said “it’s a six man!”. He was like no fing way, so I popped the hood and he was impressed. Now I couldn’t have given him crap, but he was a stang brother so I told him how to get into the mid 13’s. He was running a cai, bassani xpipe, mac mufflers and had a canned tune. I told him he can be in the mid 13’s with a tune from Lidio or Doug.

I was hanging with a lot of stangs today, and they were all cool to me. They were patting me on the back for running a 13.6, and amazed at the potential of the new six. Just to put it in perspective, there was a Mach1 parked next to me that ran a best of 14.0, a 03 Saleen that ran a best of 13.7 (both are super charged) and a 94 Cobra that ran a best of 13.8 I think. Everyone was cool and we were watching each other off the line to give each other tips.

Oh well, so much for keeping it short. BlackLX/Jimp and Scrming, I’m coming for the title baby! I’m at 13.6 on streets, crappy pneros actually. I’m getting some DR’s and taking the title. Let’s get it on.
