Dude...I live in the country...that said, every road is long and deserted.
I had a great time yesterday. Look forward to UTEC 101. You let me know when and where and I'll be there.

I've been to the track about 6-7 times and about 20-30 runs in the Z and I've finally pulled a 1.9 60' and more 2.0s. I was consistently pulling 2.2-2.3s but now I'm consistent with 2.0-2.1s and hopefully that will drop a little bit more
I'm sure I could pull a 1.9 off again but I haven't been back since. Need to change my plugs.

Congrats on your time again man... that's one hell of a benchmark you set.
Sorry I couldn't meet up with you guys afterwards... I was stuck in the staging lanes for like 2 hours waiting to get my wife's run in... she cut an f'n 2.00 60'... her 1st time ever at the drag strip... on my ****ty *** tires. It's funny though, she didn't know to go full throttle after each shift... she would ease into full throttle. She woulda had an awesome 1/4 time if not for that.

I ran a 14.6@99.xx... pathetic. I only got one run in. I scrubbed the launch (2.3 60') and scrubbed the shift into second. I gave my wife advice on how NOT to launch and she took it very well. I was hoping to get another run in but the wait was rediculous.

Bert, Congrats on the SICK times! Sorry I couldn't make it. I had a tee time and got 18 in. And Yeah it was cold on Sun. Serious times though. Would have loved to see them. I'm sure there will be better ones from you though.

btw bert is my new hero.i was the one who unfortunetly had to run him on his killer run,it was the first time at the track in 24 years where i used to have an high 11 second mustang 4 speed,this was the first time i ever ran an auto and i blew it big time the first 2 runs.at least i got to see bert cross the finish line out my drivers side window thats how sideways i was.

DAAAAAAAAAAMN skippy! That's freakin' awesome numbers you got there. Now, about those 6.5k launches....come on...even with pre-loading, those are are really high rev launches for a RWD car! I can't say I totally approve only 'cause I'd be scared of something blowin' up. Well, you know what the heck you're doin' :P. Nice shifting in the vid...I thought you were gonna break your damn console!
