The last thing I am trying to do is upset people. If it bothers a few members that much, MD can take it off the list. It's not that big a deal, at least to me. I submitted it as a sort of 'novelty' and wasn't trying to make it harder for other members to make the top 10.
I'm going for your 60' time!!! Maybe they'll let my reaction time count for your 60' time and you'll lose sucka!

Experiencing a .840 60' time is absulutly unbelievable. I have friends that ask me what its like, all the time. They say "what does it feel like? Is it at all like my 11 sec ride in feel?" What I tell them is, until you;'ve experienced it, it is unfathomable. I contend that if I hade a passenger seat in the dragster and took someone for a 4 second ride, at the end of the track after getting out of the car, the passenger would be white faced, completly shellshocked, and wouldn't be able to talk for a while, scared ****less. The G's are unbelivable. When I licensed in a 8 sec dragster, I thought that was unbelievable, especially the launch. (1.2-1.3 60'). When I licensed in a top alcohol dragster, I thought .920 60' times were unfathomable and unbelievable, unbelievably extreme, until I licensed in the top fuel car. It's all so relative. Here's a good analogy; driving a fuel car is a lot like riding a bull. You don't enjoy it 'til it's over and both can have a mind of their own. You gotta be ready for anything and everything the car throws at ya, trying not to fight it to much.

I didnt want to post my time yet until I made a good pass with the right tire pressure and launched at the right RPM since I know I can hit the 13's as is, but some *** monkey decided to post it any way. Thanks! Yea 14.06 is close but I was waiting for the headers to go on in a few weeks before I posted a lame *** 14.06. My wife's Grand Cherokee could pull that in cold weather.

Gotta have something to shoot for! I bet with it posted its good motivation to get out to the strip again! Bob, if you really want me to take it down I will, I really only posted it to fill up the list some because it was kinda bare at the time - just let me know.

JD - notffastenuff is a friend of mine with a 99 Lighting, his name is Brian. You didn't meet him I don't think at the meet because he had to work late.
