    That Jim L. and Stephen M. will be the race of the day!:eek:

    That I will break some parts trying to run a 9!:D
    And Doug Bauer will make 45 passes! :bananaman

    I had to post something here. I get a chuckle everytime I read this envisioning Doug doing a stop-and-go Indy 500! (y)

    Well I've got a new camcorder this year, so I will DEFINITELY be able to put some digital footage out. And I will make sure the battery is charged this time. :slap:

    I got a little 100 Honda dirt bike to put in the trailer to putt around Carlisle and other car meets. I wonder what that will do in the quarter? I'd also like to run the new Turbo Diesel Truck down once if nobody has any objections.

    I don't know about 45 passes :D, but I will have to run the quarter mile a couple times, yes! (It depends upon which car I bring as to how agressive I'll be). I sure had fun last year!

    Well if Dennis is gonna run a 12.40 in the sprint, then I am gonna race against his truck. Beat him last year cause he forgot to turn on his fuel pump.

    hehe

    Craig: gonna race? Thats great!

    Jim: I have seen yours and Stephens timeslip, I cannot run with you guys!
    All the parts I have added are to make it a little more streetable. I
    shedded a few pounds off the car, but I think I picked it up :rolleyes: .

    Rick: Regardless of what Doug says, it was AMAZING to see! :D
    I was alright with it until he came up to Fred and I and said he was
    loose going into one and wanted to know how to make a wedge
    adjustment :clap: :clap:

    Matt: Charge the batteries, cause I want you to ride with me and do
    a "in-car-cam".

    Dennis: I have no objections. I just want to see you "hammer" the sprint
    again! :cry:

    Doug: I had a great time as well.......and you know once you get there
    its "hammer time"! :smash: regardless of what your driving.

    Todd: you do get timeslips......as long as the tree is working :mad:

    Dan: All you needs is some stickie tires....you can borrow mine for a few
    passes if you want. Cause that Stallion will ROLL!

    ** I guess we need to run a "systems check" for Dennis before he makes a pass, to ensure he has everything turned on :slap:

    Man, talk about pressure....:eek: Although I don't think it's a fair comparison since he's got ladder bars and BIG tires.....we'll have to see how well I can get the little tire to hook up!! Thanks for the support everyone!!! I need it!! :D
