Evidently to find out how to bleed the brakes on my dragster, I have to call Spitzer.

And Moe you better give Sarmento a ring just in case yours need bleeding........

You just can't make this shyt up, I heard it straight from the horse's mouth, or more likely it was the other end of the horse

Update. Weekend racing started with me kidding with Bruce Williams and him running his T/D in Super Pro . Bruce said had to kill around 3 or 4 tens to slow to 7.00 , we where in the lanes and cars apart . We ended up runnig each othert.... LOL. I had a whole .001 advantage on the light and was dailed on my S/ST number of 10.91 as I was holding a little got to MPH cones and starting killing around he goes 7.014 and me killing way to
Much. That was Saturday, went on to lose 2nd round in Super Street giving back it by .0092.

Sunday I was only racing S/ST and went to the final only to lose by .0051 , OMG way to many ways to lose...And I keep finding more... LOL

Doug is a great guy race with him at a big IHRA event four years ago. Made a huge mistake , I was in the right all day an lost the flip of the coin a went left. The hit before went 10.883 so I though I was fast tryed to kill it two fast blurbs , they are worth .008 each in my car. One would have done it. As the car was a hun slower in left.... LOL
