Default Reached my goal!!!

I went to the track on wednesday and was pleased with my times. I do believe I can get better b/c im still getting use to the stall. I was launching around 2500 rpms so I know there is room for improvement. The track got really busy so I didnt get to make as many passes as I would have liked. I met some cool people. There was a guy there starting his own car club called indy carmada and he put one of those gopro cameras on my car for his website. Not sure if hes put it up yet. He had others too that he was recording as well.

Some of my starts were quick and some were not. I did manage an 11 second pass which was my goal about 3 years ago.

Dude that is awesome....congrats. If I remember correctly before the stall you were in the 12.4's? The stall improved your times by that much? 1.6 60 foots, very cool. Running mt et streets too? Your car sounds great too. New license plate......11SECND.

thanks but not sure whats next... If i do anything it will be the bottom end of the engine. Just not sure if i want to take it that far b/c at that point when does it stop. I enjoy the **** of the car now. I guess if something unfortunate happens on the track or anywhere then i would get forged but not looking to just do it.

Unfortunately I will be working on the 9th of sept. I have a weird work schedule. I may take vacation that week so i can enjoy the full holiday weekend. Not sure yet.
