Re: So The New Wheels Finally Came In...

Thanks guys!

Last night after work I took a shower, swapped tires, added a little fuel threw the laptop and a spare bottle in the hatch. We headed to the track in San Antonio, which is a two hour drive to meet some friends for Midnight Madness. I hit the gates around 9:15 and it was paaaaaacked. I was number 162 and within an hour the number of cars had doubled. We waited in line until midnight to make one damn pass! Three hours!

Ok, here's the lowdown on the pass. The Nova in the other lane decided to take off before the lights even started coming down and my E/T Street Radials decided to bite for the first time. I thought I had broken the rearend when the car started bucking, but luckily my stock clutch and rearend came out fine. After that pass I just packed up and headed home because the lines were so long. I'm working 7 days a week. So yes, I had to be back in Corpus and at work at 7:00 this morning. Yes, I was sleepy.

So here it is, my only bottle pass....First gear was slow as a snail because of the 3,000rpm launch. I was anticipating the usual enormous amounts of tirespin, that didn't happen. It bogged haaaaard, but once it got moving.... Well, just watch the video.
