That same POS Tercel that got Bruce in the finals a couple weeks ago took me out last night. I had to give him a 5.5 second head start and he has super R/T's.

14.3 without a LSD is not too shabby. What was your speed on the 23?

I don't mind getting beat by something that goes a little better or a car that is washed occasionally, but that is a POS with a driver who has excellent reaction times. I'll help you destroy it. maybe next time I'll bring my 9000# van. It won't lose any traction either.

All I needed was about 5 more feet of track...................

It's just that SOME people won't let me forget it, so I just decided to go with it.

I'm going to head out to the Sac. Drag Strip with my MR2 if weather permits on the 30th, a Wednesday. Would be awesome to see some Z's show up! Will be my first time at the strip. I wish I had a chance to take the Z out before I sold her.
