    Re: The Chargers quest for 9's

    Yah yah. So where was I? Right, Sunday, Race day, better track prep, better temp. yada yada blah blah blah...........

    I dropped the slicks down too 7 psi, left the two-step at 5600 rpm and rigged a one-way lock on the TB so that once it goes WOT it Can't shut wether I lift or not! (Only way to shut it down will be Kill the ignition) + the headwind was gone! Nice and calm!!!!

    First pass; Crazy burn-out!!!!! Smoked the Crap out of those 26's!!!!! I could here ppl choking on my smoke!!!! Cut a 1.53 60' and almost went right through my race bucket! WOT shifted the 1-2 (had no choise) and went 4.46 to the 330', WOT shifted the 2-3 and I was 6.81 @ 106.43mph at the 1/8th! WOT shifted 4th and came through the traps going 10.42 @ 141.34mph!!!!!!

    Re: The Chargers quest for 9's

    Damn, Really? Just got back from Emergency HSC in Wpg, had to take the wife in last night @ around 6:00pm so I didn't have a chance to get on here and now this seems like the bigger Emergency!

    Guy's, tell me your all pulling my leg, or at least allowing me to pull yours? Did it really sound that convincing? A ONE WAY LOCK on the TB so I have no way to turn off the car @ 140mph but ignition kill? You guys must Really believe I'm that Crazy! (I take this as a complement, really!)

    I thought this was funny as he!! when I wrote it, pulled the #'s right out of mid air, but I would have thought the total over-rediculous way I wrote it would have been obvious, if not the guy's at the bottom looking through all those rose covered glasses!

    Don't get me wrong, I would love for it to be true, but I was really just trying to lighten the moment before I lowered the boom on what Really happened on that run. (quite the opposite of what I wrote)

    Lesson to self; don't horse around when your wife has had migrain for three + days and May ask to be driven to emergency while pot on stove keeps stirring and getting hotter!

    My sincerest appologies to all, was only supposed to be a two hr gig, hope you guys have as much sense of humor as me cause this was only ment to be light humour...........

    First off, hope the wife is OK. Family first.

    Second, yes, I think you're that nuts.

    Third, boo to carnage. :-(

    Hey Rob. Hope your wife is doing well!

    Re: The Chargers quest for 9's

    Just got back....Again! (hospitol is 50 miles away) CT scan was clear, don't know about bloodwork but they doped her up and gave her back to me anyways. (was actually hoping to get some sleep before going back, brain feels like fried eggs) Biggest concern is always the epilepsy, so when you have that much pain in the brain for that long you don't want to take any chances. Thanks to all for the concerns.

    Also, glad you guys are taking this on the chin as it's almost bizzare how things can turn on the net. Of course my original intention was to play it out post by post until someone caught on and flat out called me on it! Ya'know, sorry rob but your full of it!!!!!!

    I was expecting someone to ask for the timeslip to which I would have replied "Timeslip, we don't need no stinkin timeslip!"

    When I wasn't here to respond to the early comments, well then things just start to feel like they're totally out of hand.

    And ya, I was prob giving the Carroll thing a go, but I think I was also thinking out loud what I was wishing would have happened and just having a little horse-play.

    The real Q, Did I manage to un-nerve James enough that he was too to respond, or did he sniff out the BS right from the go?
