    man you guys are rough :yup:

    No worries here.......
    Lonnie, Chris and Terry......no excuses :tsk: I can race the yellow mav and have just as good a chance as with the PINKY. :evilsmile Cause undrstanding the fundamentals of bracket racing is what helps you win :hide:
    not to worry Seth....title will be defended ;)

    And for Mr. Warpig........:D it was a Time trial....I'll smacka smacka you whenever you want ;)
    and actually it was a .11 to .19 if I remember right :cool:
    I have actually had more trouble cutting decent lights with the car running in the 6's than I did when the car ran 7.70's.... :huh:

    Clutches are burned and the converter is loose...best I could muster at Atlanta this weekend was a 9.40 at 140 mph early this morning, I knew it was like that before I took it but I couldn't hurt it any more than it was hurt...I'm sure I coulda pulled a high 8 out of the hat and made a better showing if it was right..another woulda,shoulda, coulda.:rolleyes: ..still it turned the best time of any Fast Ford class door car their.:p
