Julio, how about the place in Homestead, so we don't attract a bunch of idiots with their rice-crap?

So, to get the formalities out of the way, it was fun meeting up with you. Anyway, I had to deflate that Machismo ego of yours.
Damn, your s**t scoots for the first half. I was getting scared for a while there until my MPH took over (all 150+ baby!!!). Thank god my MPH finally did it's thing in the end. Took so long I was thinking I would never get by you.
Those damn Grand Nationals dead hook out of the hole. Good thing I brought VHT (even though you talked me into letting you use some, I didn't want you crying too much). BTW, my 150+ MPH was the only thing that saved the day for me. For anybody else out there thinking GOTOA6 ain't got nuthin, better think again real hard.
Later......

We went heads up for free, I decided I didn't want any crying (with a spot) and GOTOA6 car comes out hard, but like most of the Grand Nationals I've seen, the MPH is on the low side. In the end, it was about a 3 car lead. He had bigger slicks than I did. In actuality, street racing is a little nerve racking with the possibility of cos, etc. Plus, my car is loud even with mufflers. Probably would limit future races to the track.

Things never go the way you want them to on the street. Usually, with traction being less than ideal, plus conditions, etc.
I've seen too many times where somebody races somebody else that runs -----(whatever, fill in the blank) beats them by two cars and then assumes they are two tenths faster. They find out that the car they raced didn't run the same number as it does at the track, and then they too are disappointed. I can assure my car did not 60 ft 1.31 like at the track. That's all the difference in the world. I can't sat GOTO's MPH, but his holeshot was what messed me up. That's 2/3 of the race.

Already seen him run. He goes 8.80's (don't ask how I know). I am max'ed out on my blower. My car's got more in it. Hey, after running 9.14, I drove my car to a Car meet at a FuddRuckers the following Monday which is 14 miles round trip. Temperature never rose above 160.
So, I still say it's more of a street car than most running in that range.
