Well I have this problem where starting from around 3600 the engine will start to stutter as if the spark isn't at the right place or something. I didn't look into it since I don't have much time.

Anyway I went to the friday night drag races (at the track FYI) and I couldn't really shift any higher than 3800 ~ 4000rpm but did 6 runs anyway lol I went with my friends and really pissed them off. One of my friends has a 91 hatchback with AC and all that, no real mods done to it. Anyway I hang at the line (cold night, finished tires = no traction) for a little while he hooks up and goes. I catch up to him and pass him. There weren't any times but I looked at my speedo when I passed the line and I swear to God (I honestly swear to God, I'm not kidding) I was at 96mph (155kmh) at the line and I had ZERO traction, even half way down the track my rear broke loose a little as I shifted gears. My friend doesn't believe me I have the stuttering problem at all, I asked him to get in with me to see what my car does but he just left real pissed off at me

It was a fun night though, I had a LOT of fun pissing off the ricers. It's great because one of the officials gave us stickers that allowed us to skip the lineup of ricers to race. We just show up next to the line, wait for a few ricers to race, then we got to hit the track. The stagging lane was funny with all the ricers revving the piss out of their hamsters, I walked near them a few times (while my car cooled down) and made farting noises with my mouth.

Some little kids asked me to give them a ride, and this wicked LS1 supercharged firebird wanted to race me. I told him "are you nuts, you'll be at the finish line before I can even hit 2nd gear" lol Then some guys came over to shoot the **** with me while I had the hood open (to cool down between runs). One ricer came up to me and wanted to race but the guy had the funniest clothes I've ever seen. He had yellow like pants and shirt that were waaay to big for him and they had like purple dots or something too. I swear he looked like a freaking clown. I started to laugh at his face, I couldn't help it.

Overall pretty fun but I need to fix that problem so I can shift at 4500 or something, not that it would make a huge difference but I'd like to see the full potential of my knocking 302 lol
