I had more fun driving to the track then racing at it. It was good to meet a lot of you, even though I already knew a couple. The lightning didn't do as well as I thought it would. I was really disapointed with the one pass I got off. I had a meeting with the wedding coordinator so I had to leave at about 1.

The truck ran:

.6 reation time
2.2 60'
13.4 at 108 MPH

I don't remember anything else. It was funny that the red 07 ZO6 stalled against me $80,000 car plus who knows in mods doesn't mean much if the driver can't drive.

I probably can't say much, I went easy off the line because I really didn't want to spin through 2nd gear on my only pass of the day. I know the truck could have gone in the 12s.

I just got my car back also. I've missed driving it so much the past 2 weeks.

I'll most likely be at the track this Saturday, unless I have to help my friend install his headers or study with the gf.

Make it 3 and you got a deal! hahah. Swapping is a lot more work than most people think. Can I leave your car on jacks or on bricks while I'm running your DRs?

I will try to be there. I am hoping to get my HFC on by then. My lsd won't be here until thursday. I won't get it installed in time. I am just going to drive to the track with the DR on the car.

I'm not sure, but when I started my car for the 3rd time since getting it back, it made this tire being slashed sound and the car shut off. Basically, a coolant line burst or something. So, there's coolant **** everywhere. I'm taking it back to the shop to get that **** fixed and cleaned up. Funny thing is, the car doesn't overheat and still runs fine(it seems), but I'm not risking ****.

They've done great jobs before (for me and other Z guys) and have gotten many praises, so I'm sure they'll take care of this. It looks like I'll be carless for at least a few more days. BTW, rest of the car was top notch.

I don't give anybody **** at the strip! I'm too busy looking at other cars and trying to beat my previous times. BTW, I just got my car back (again), so hopefully everything is actually fine this time. I'm in for Saturday again.

If it is in the 40's and doesnt rain then that will keep most people away. More runs!
