Last night at pir was the first time in a couple years I had run that car. I also just got it back from the shop from getting tuned, and on my third pass, which was my first race of the night against misha (wifesweetstang), I tried to do a 4 grand launch, which seemed like it hooked pretty goot but it just made a bang noise, and my drivers side tire was comming out of the fender well. Oh well I guess, it just sucks that I just got only three runs in.
But thanks to those who helped push my car back to the parking area, and smokedya, (John) for getting the trailer and truck and towing me home.

( and roger too of course) whos truck was that anyways?... but as I was saying props to john and roger for helping out the "gimp" lol...

but hey steve at least I beat you ... I only got beat one time last night and it was by that loud 2step white evo looking thing.... I had the best time down there last night I made 14 passes!!!!!!!!!!
