!@#$% Busy Summer!
 
Well guys...I ain't gonna make it to Joliet. This summer is just too busy for me right now. Graduation parties, baby showers (not for me, lol), bridal showers, buying a house, getting married, family reunions, my fiance's brother is getting a lung transplant, and I'm working too dang much to top it all off. I'll make it to Columbus, but that may be the only NMRA event I make it to.

Just too damn busy. I've only even raced once this year with my all new suspension setup. I don't have time to wash the car, let alone travel to Illinois to race. Hopefully things will calm down after I get married and come back from my honeymoon.

(Rant off)

We all know you just don't want to drive all the way to Joliet and get spanked by the Blue Beast.

USMCstang 06-16-2005 02:21 PM

Whos that?

Blue02GT 06-16-2005 02:43 PM

My car of course. Too bad you can't make it, we were all looking forward to meeting you in person. Maybe you can hit Columbus or Bowling Green.

USMCstang 06-16-2005 02:50 PM

I knew who you meant, dummy :thebirdma I was just bein a smartass, that's all.

I'll make Columbus, but Joliet is the weekend before I get married and after I move into my house...so needless to say it's a little busy. It sucks, since I was planning all year to make it, but the ol' lady comes first.

Next year should be a little more calm...hopefully I can make about 5 races.

Ponyman460 06-16-2005 04:35 PM

dude, I know how you feel.! Work work work work work school school school work you get the point!

I am busy as hell too, and never seem to have time to do what I need to. how did the suspension work out for you? what are your new times?

Badfish 06-16-2005 04:45 PM

Stop working and start scuba diving!

I knew you knew. Yeah I'd say getting married and moving into the house is good reason to miss Joliet. I'm not sure I'll make Columbus, I'm going to try to get there.

Suspension is hooking well, no tire spin at all. I think im set with the suspension for a while. Now I can move back into the power mods and a torque convertor, and since I already have every bolt on there is, minus LT's, it's gonna start being some serious $$$.

Dean, did you know that I knew that you knew i knew? :D

Blue02GT 06-16-2005 06:28 PM

I was pretty sure that you knew that I knew that you knew. But I wanted to be sure that you knew that I knew that you knew.

USMCstang 06-16-2005 06:34 PM

I know :tongue3:

Ponyman460 06-17-2005 04:18 AM

so that is still NPI right? or is that PI yet?

*edit, I just read your sig.

Put some PI cams and what not on there, and see what you can do. What does the car weigh?

USMCstang 06-17-2005 06:58 AM

The car's at 3305 with me in it and a half tank of gas. Trunk gutted, passenger and rear seat removed, and no sway bar. I didn't pace my gas usage properly on the way to Norwalk.

I have the cam's/ intake ready to go...but I'm holding off. I wan't to see how fast I can go without ever having the valve covers or intake off. I can still do an A/C delete, LT's, torque converter, electic water pump, al driveshaft, and a slightly more agressive tune. As well as lightening the car some more.

My goal is a 13.5 or better with a COMPLETELY stock longblock, and still be streetable...so A/C delete will be one of the last things I do. With the right air, I should be able to hit 13.8 as the car sits. (note, that means negative DA, lol)

uwood 06-17-2005 11:05 AM

SOMEBODY IS SCARED!


hahahah....wussy!


Looking forward to seeing you in Columbus. Bring the wife to be. I will have my girl there and I am pretty Sure that Jason is taking his wife. We can all go out.

My sister lives in Grandview, so we will be staying there.

USMCstang 06-17-2005 11:11 AM

By columbus, she'll be the "Ol' Lady"...August 6th is the date.

I haven't decided if we're getting a hotel or not...it's about an hour and a half from where I live. More than likely we will, or we'll stay at the track.
