First things first, the world needs an LS enema.
Ok, now that that's off my chest, pretty typical day for us today. I don't know if I've mentioned it or not, but my wife came with me on Drag Week this year. Today was her birthday. I wonder how many guys have a wife or girlfriend who would be happy to spend their birthday reading maps, trying to find unmarked roads, loading and unloading a car and riding for hours on end in an old, loud, cramped car. I'm a lucky guy because she's having a great time.
Despite an average time of 12.5 @ 114 today, it was a pretty good day. We had a surprise visit from a forum member, Dan, and his wonderful wife Mary. We made friends with them the last 2 years at the FE R&R. Dan drove his Gulfstream Aqua '69 S code Mustang. It's a beautiful car, and together, our cars could be twins if I had the factory stripes on mine. It was a nice surprise seeing them.
The driver and car were average on the track today, but I think I've learned a few things that may help me move in the right direction. We'll see if I can finally get some improvements tomorrow. I'm going to try to get several runs in so that I can try to sort out the driver issues the car seems to be having..lol
It was great drive today through mostly country highways and medium to smaller towns. Those are the drives I really enjoy, and the overdrive guys don't have a time advantage over me. It doesn't matter to me if I'm on an interstate or highway, my speed limit is 55, same as theirs today. We got to the hotel and I took the wife to dinner at a restaurant for her birthday. We both enjoyed some good food for a change this week!
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, making some runs...and winning that Gear Vendors overdrive that has my name on it.
Here's a couple shots of Dans beautiful Mach 1. I hope he doesn't mind me posting them.
