hey man it was awesome to meet you too thanks for the support! my first run against the blazer i ran an 8.31 and my second run was against a chevy vega that was super tubbed with giant slicks and a healthy small block chevy i think and i ran an 8.33 cause i missed 3rd gear he ran an 8.2 so i was right on his ass the whole time, thirdrace i raced aome POS 240z or something i cant remember. smoked that thing bad and ran a 7.9! my 4th run i ran up against a yellow car of some sort and ran a 7.6! and i was only 2 cars behind at the line and he wasnt pulling very hard on me either. my 5th run was up against a super clean white 70s chevy longbox pickup with a 9.2 ltr in it. and i ran in front of him the entire track and ran another 7.6 at close to or at 100mph. my 6th and last run was against a young kid in a built white nova (last year this kid was talkin shit on the beetle) we are sitting in the lanes and he loks over and yells " THAT CAR IS SOOOOOOO BADASS!" so i gave him the thumbs up and we staged. he got the jump on me out of the hole but as soon as i started spooling i pulled past him and i missed 3rd gear REALLY bad and he got by me but i got back in it and cought back up to him and he passed the line a foot ahead of me. i ran a 7.8 but still beat him since it is based on when you leve the line. so i only lost 2 races but i ended up running fasterlater that day than the vega that beat me. so all in all it turned out to be a freekin awesome weekend!
