GODDAMN STUPID LITTLE RICER RETARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was a waste of a Sunday as we started eliminations 3 hours late due to all of the little retards oiling down the entire length of the track over and over andover and over and over again. There were about 3 dozen Fast-&-The-Furious retards racing through the pits. And the track had to hire extra security because of all of the worries about car theft. Plus there weren't too many cars worth looking at.

Racing sucked, too. Ken went out 1st round due to a crappy launch but I won easily and earned myself a bye run 2nd round due to having the lowest winning RT of round 1. I sat back and waited until there were only 3 pairsof cars ahead of me under the otwer and then I pulled into my customary right lane. Then all of a sudden one fo the retards in the left lane starts driving down the return round. No idea why and the track officials were trying to get him back up but he just kept going. That left an uneven number of pairs so they made me get into the left lane. I haven't run left lane in several months. On top of that, I got paired with Chuck Render, a longtime Heavy ET racer who had one of the (intentionally) funniest car there - an old gray late-80's Celica with yellow and orange flames spraypainted onto the front and rear of the car. I got so flustered at the fact that I just went from having the bye run and lane choice to being forced to run in left lane against Chuck that I had an absolutely crap light. I did manage to beat him across the finish line by just over 0.01 seconds but I broke out in doing so and got sent home.

$300 bucks out the f-ing window!!!! That was the 1st place prize amount for my class and judging from the rest of the competition I should have easily made it to the money rounds.

At one point they had 3 consecutive runs oil down the track. No sir, not alot of fun at all. Plus the wind was so strong they were constant reruns because something would blow through the traps at the start of a race. My first time shot resulted in a 3-second ET.

so much for the inspections that they do before the car can race. sounds like a bad day for you

I was so mad that I got knocked out of the first round.

My light was a .347 which totally sucks balls, and my worst light all season. My 2nd worst light all season was in the low .200's and of course I went up against a pretty decent racer, he cut a .071 light.

These kids are racing around the pits all day, killing their cars and then leaving oil down the entire 1/4 mile and 1/8 of the shut down part of the track. and it was windy as hell. 16 MPH with gusts to 25, and it was against us. Mitch says it doesn't effect ET but I think it did.

Can't deal with dumbasses like that

It has a slight effect on ET's but it's minimal. A direct headwind is worse than a tailwind but most of the time it was coming in on us at an angle. Usually it's a cross wind. Maybe because how the track is situated but all season whenever there's a wind it almost always is going acroos the track from the go-cart lot across to our pits. Even during the freak storm I told you about that hit us during the MOPAR Summernationals.

Hmmm, it is about a 850-900KM drive for me to NJ, but maybe next summer I'll make a weekend trip of it and hang out with some aleromodders for a weekend of racing. Even though I'd get knocked out first run, it would still be fun.

That would be cool but Datyona and I are the only two that are there. Naich shows up sometimes, but not to race
