well i had a blast at the track yesterday, even though i had my worst times EVER, and two of my worst RT's EVER (i have no idea what was wrong, my car was not reacting at all, or i was fast asleep), and i even managed to go ridiculously red too (my first red btw! woohoo! hah.. was trying to make up for why my car was so slow off the tree that i decided to leave off the 2nd bulb... bad idea)... But on my final run (my first Buyback), it was super fun... Finally got my **** together, ran a decent .044 RT (decent for me at least), going against a cool '66 (i think) mustang, and even though my 60' was horrendous (even worse than usual, car was not up to racing yet, has too many issues at the moment i need to take care of but i wanted to show up anyway), i got to chase him down right through the lights, with my 112 speed compared to his 104... but he beat me anyway... oh well, my first run of the year, first race of the year, actually still wrapped up from abdominal surgery (probably shouldn't have been racing... crawling under my car was not easy to do), and i got my first point ever! (ok it was just for showing up  )... cool meeting some of you there too, nice meeting you Amy! and Jr. (again)... and sorry i didn't get to talk to you Chuck and Mark... next time... Met some nice people, and my girlfriend was awesome doing her best back-up girl imitation, struggling around the track on roller skates and short shorts and a Team Eviscerator shirt she made up the night before... (Eddie at the track offered to give her a helmet cause she looked like she was about to wreck but she managed to not go down all day hah...) i have now officially run a whopping total of 20 times (Rookie Rat), time to do some work on my car (valve guide seals are shot, timing is way off, accelerator pump barely works, front coilovers are sacked out, and need to put my 4.30 gears in, to name a few things, and so need a playback tach... impossible to remember exactly what RPM i'm leaving on or shifting at) oh and never go drive up to check out the motocross track before racing starts, because you might find the water truck spraying the dirt roads so that when you drive back your car gets COMPLETELY FILLED WITH MUD... had to spend an hour picking mud out from under my chassis... argh! ha and dig the new stands on the right lane, but did someone totally forget about the tower? it needs a good extra floor on it, at least, the stands totally block it... i'm guessing they have plans for a taller tower, or a newer one... (that tower is so small you could probably jack it up fairly easily and literally add a new first floor below it)This message has been edited.

Ratty, I love the look of your car BTW. Can you make it up on a TNt on thurs? They got atleast 9 runs this past thursday. Keeping working on the car and keep bracket racing to get as much experience as you can.  89 Mustang GT - PX98 Rodeheavers Hotrod Shop | |||

Congrats to Chip on the ADRL win! That is a bracket car, and he smacks that tree! It was good to hear Steve back on the mic... you could tell he's been missing the track. Ratty, sorry I didn't have a longer minute to chat with you. We doubled up the Olds in Mod and Street, and it took some work to keep her in my preferred temp range. I wanted to check out the big Biscayne up close. I will next time for sure. Yes, test n tune on Thursday nights are a good option for passes usually. This Thursday, if the R word doesn't come into play, should be some good temps for quick passes.

I was absolutely ecstatic to hear Steve on the p.a. I went up to the tower to say hi and to tell him that I was glad he was back, but he was so excited to be announcing again, he couldn't bring himself to talk to me. All he wanted to do was be on that mike. Welcome back | |||

Today's Cheers and Jeers: Cheers to having the humor back in the tower - we missed you, Steve! Our other announcers are great, but you crack me up! Cheers to all of Saturday's Winners - it's a tough field this year... Cheers to the track crew for making the day great and for the quick clean-ups. Jeers to whoever posted the points on PRP's website - nice to see them posted by Monday, not so nice having them all wrong... Just Joan My AARP = Armed And Really Pissed | |||

Don't go running your mouth if you don't know why they are wrong The points will be done when they are done. I'd feel the same if it were a smart ass keyboard jockey doing them as well. The PRP crew works their butts off, just to hear complaints. Joan, I have a question for you. Did you go find whomever is responsible for the points and actually ask them about it? I bet the answer is no. Maybe, if had you asked them, they could have given you a better answer than they are all wrong. You're not retarded, but your post definitely was. Either you're retarded or your posts are, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt this time and just say that your post is retarded. In your post, you praise the track and also are complaining about the track. Joan, feel free to grab the keyboard next time. Just sayin. Nobody works harder than the points processor. They are a hard a$$ and keep everyone on the ball. One of these days, their head is gonna explode though. Be glad we have a group of people that want to make sure the points is done extremely quickly. Don't you drive a race car? I would think you want to be sure the points are put up quickly right when you make a run. Did you really think they wanted the points to have some errors? No offense meant but I doubt that the other tracks that you have visited would get the points up as quickly they did. You know I just had a thought, next time we have a points day, you should do the points being that they don't know how to post them and you obviously have a better handle on it. How about we just call it over? Here's a what a novel idea, trying to be a part of a solution than just a complainer. Ok, now that all of those posts are done with, carry on...This message has been edited. Last edited by: John_Gover, | |||

1. Tony, the last time I let this **** go I had to call HAZ MAT in. 2. If there was a points class for practice tree I bet they would post it right. 3. I need a hug. Maybe then I wouldn't red light anymore. | |||

John you are Definitely a Clown and I don't make this claim in a positive way. You are taking a Jab at someone who had nothing to do with your prior discussion. Maybe I misunderstood your attmept at Humor, but frankly I don't feel thats the case. | |||

Joan, John is using your post to quote everyone else who slammed him for making comments about the track. He is not pointing you out just using the first person to make any comment. Seriously though, some of you are taking John to seriously... the PRP DDR forum has got to be the most touchy thread I am involved in   Jordan Haase PR22 MiROCK # 2253 2009 Honda CBR 600RR 1982 Kawasaki GPz 550 team HARD racing - 1320 Psychos Brock's Performance - GMS Racing Engines - Z&M Cycles - M&M Leather - JW Kustomz FOREVER 53  | |||
