It's late. I'm tired. Where's your capitalization, huh?

A couple of quotation marks wouldn't hurt, either. It's ok, though. I know that they are hard to type on the sidekick.

Where were you this weekend?

Default Big Fun

Thanks to all for the kind words. I also have to give props to the guys at IDRC for keeping things running pretty smoothly despite multiple oildowns that tied up the track both days. The bracket racers and time-only drivers got plenty of value for their money, for sure.

I owe it all to nitrous and massive, shameless sandbagging. I'd feel bad about it if everybody else I raced wasn't doing it too. That was some of the tightest competition I've ever had - first round, I won on a double breakout where we both ran 0.016 under our dials and it went to the fourth digit! Crazy.

Also, a big thank you to all the companies that have helped out with the car:

Nitrous Works (60-shot wet kit that actually does more like 75 to the wheels)
Zex (purge kit and bottle heater - Both indispensible!)
Injen (cold air intake)
Jet-Hot (coated header)
Nitrous Supply (Mike Thermos and company are starting to get used to my Friday bottle fill visits)
And Todd Steen at BFGoodrich - without their drag radials, I'd just be spinning my wheels.

It's all about the totally worn out stock factory suspension... I'm scared to mess with it, since I'm getting 60-foot times in the high 1.90's with just 210 hp to the wheels in a 3085 pound car (with my fat *** in it).

Paul congrats on the win! Damn OverRev took some of DSports money, lol. Glad you got a ton of runs in. Yeah the oildowns were pretty insane over the weekend, we used 44 bags of kitty litter/grease sweep, that has to be a world record.

Damn, I might have to make engine daipers mandatory next year for heads-up...

Glad you had a good time! And thanks for coming out.

Yah, but first I gotta fix it... Rear-ended a Jeep Cherokee on the 405 today. The front bumper, support, hood, and radiator all got it. I guess DSport's money will be going straight from my hands to the body shop to pay my deductable.

At least everyone is ok.

Maybe get a JDM S13 front end and CF hood? Looks like the car is getting the full chalkboard paint treatment sooner than later, huh?
