ok guys, here's the deal. we are not doing the show sunday at the cocoa expo we just dont have enough people to do it so its the track friday and then scca on the 23rd and 24th

That sucks, Dan. Oh well, less miles on my car.

On a completely unrelated note, I got to drive a Police car today. Yes, that's right, I drove the car, instead of riding in the back of one (yet to happen, but it surely will one day). True, it was only 30 feet, but it was cool none the less. And no, I didn't get to play with the lights.

I like driving cop cars. You never understand how much repsect you instantly get by driving one around. Whenever I work on a FHP or Seminole County Car and I have to do a test drive I have a great time. People stopping traffic just to let me on to the road. Best part is when you see someone hauling ass coming towards you, then when they realize that you are in a police car they just lay on the brakes. I also like driving right at the speed limit, not a mph over. In florida you would probably be shot or ran off the road if you did that in a regular car, but in a cop car its a total different story. People stay off your tail and won't even pass you

Yeah, I will try to make it up there. This will be the last sonics meet where my car has my 4 lug Cobra Rs on. I layed down the cash on tuesday and ordered a SN95 front 5lug brake conversion and a FMS rear 5 lug conversion to go with my set of FMS 95 Cobra Rs from Diversified Products Marketing. The AFS Cobra Rs will be going on my hatchback unless I get a good offer. I should have the install done this saturday if everything comes in on time

 

[erichmess_]

Well, called up TJ. Install date is November 29th, the day after Thanksgiving. And my prochambers are already in.

dont think you can just have them put it on your driver window, or on your rear window. as long as ther tower workers can see, them you should be ok so i take it that this means your going tonight


anyone else that is going, if you wanna cruise in together, meet at my store at 5 so we can leave together

Track..

What's going on tonight at a track?
You guys going to a track tonight or tomorrow night?
Either way, I'd like to perhaps hitch a ride with someone and just watch. I've never been before, and I could bring the camera and get some good pictures, too.
Oh yea, is there a price for a non-racer to get in?
Because as a couple of ya know, I'm currently in between jobs
and money is like, not there.

It cost $10 for everyone, and I Dan is leaving from Discount about 5 or so. I'm still thinking about going. Drag racing just isn't my thing, but I'd like to know how fast I'm running before I mod it.

 

[BlackMagic]

well, here is how tonight went.

1st run 2nd run
R/T: .592 .617
60': 2.372 2.302
330: 6.613 6.568
1/8: 10.044 10.021
mph: 72.04 71.63
1000: 12.990 12.983
1/4: 15.493 15.506
mph: 90.14 89.35

so what do you guys think?? im happy with it, cus i was expecting mid 15's, so i cant say im disappointed


and for those still wanting to do something sunday, me and eric kebbel decided that were gonna hang out and just shoot the stuff at chili's in palm bay at 1pm. if anyone else has suggestions for something to do, speak up
