On another note i took the car down to the track on saturday and ran the best time the car has ever run on motor ever. 11.38@117. will be going back to the track friday to try and get some 9second nitrous blasts on film finally. Anyway look for us this thursday.

Holy. MONKEYS.

I have a habit of asking if I can drive something like that, but I'd likely kill myself...and probably do some damage to the car.

Gorgeous.

the car is actually real easy to drive. stage hold trans brake and floor it, lights go green release Trans brake. then bang the gears 1 2 3.Then let the chutes go.

JK no chutes yet.

Looked for you.....saw 2 blue Camaros.....1 with stripes & 1 w/o. Did you make it past the 1st round?? Who was driving??

Anyway, what a turn-out at Milan...over 400 cars!!

Didn't they end up using sixteen 9.5 sec. cars? I was confused!!

PolarisINDY500 · 09-14-2007, 09:40 AM

you know what...i missed the darn episode...TWICE.

i had to work late so i missed it when it aired the first time. then by some strange reason i forgot to set the reminder on my sh|t-cast (aka comcast) for the re-run.

i guess i'll have to check back and see when it plays again.

my dad was driving. he made it to the final 16 but was eliminated first round. His name is doug jaynes. they interview him after the round he was eliminated and said something like "I had a great time, And the car ran the best time it ever has, Got in to the 9s, its a good thing" I have it recorded and will burn it to dvd soon. Anyway they picked a 16 car field of 9.90 cars and they had to defend their position against 16 10.10 cars. We were in the 10.10 cars, but the guy we race broke. so we moved up to the final 16. They show in car racing and everything of my dad it was cool. And in the beginning montage of the show the cut to a clip of my dad yelling "this is some nerve racking racing!" he also says another part later in the show when they are about to run the 16. "I was getting ready to load up on the trailer when they called me back in!" Just giving ya guys some stuff to listen out for. look for the bald guy in sun glasses. and we are the car WITH stripes.

put some spray on that bad boy.

No way....Hard on the motor. Plus (here anyway), at the dragstrip, people call juice cheater systems, and that if you can't make raw HP with the engine, just take the easy way out and juice it. I don't know why that is now, I think it's bacause of all the ricers at the strip nowadays.
