Just got back from main in Joplin and im finally pleased with my pos. Anyways, stood around for a while, bored as hell, watching teenie boppers being stupid and i see a 5.0 purging, nice little cam and who knows what else. I started cruising and within a few minutes i got behind him and i started purging. After a few stop lights and some zigzagging and a few fingers i finaly get beside him and asked him if he wanted to go and he was kinda just staring at me. I said yeah i know you run low 12's i remember you from the website. (Joplin-Kansas website) I was like, i know you'll probably beat me but there's noone else up here worth racing and im spraying also. So he starts to drop down gears, were doing about 25-30 and we both hit it, i sprayed while in low boost (12-13lbs or so) and we both spun real bad till about 50 and we stopped i pulled about a car and a half on him but i'll call it even as i might have hit it just before him. He pulls over and starts doing some adjustment in the trunk, then pulls out some box from the passenger side and messes with it and says, ok im ready. Im like thinking, dam im not. Oh well. I had just put in some nice fresh expensive $1.50 champion plugs as i heard rumors about the ones i had and i figured i was toast this time so i went for broke and switched to high boost so i could backfire and go home. Again we hit it about the same mph and holy shit, i couldnt hardly hear his car my tires were spinning so bad so i let off the juice, hit 3rd and juiced her again and started spinning again but it was pulling real hard so i stayed in it as i figured any second now hes gonna come flying by me. I hit 4th and was spraying and looked up and i had him beat by about 5 cars so i stopped and we pulled over again. He was spraying a 150 and said his best run was a 12.2 or 3 on street tires which i knew. Personally i couldve lost and i would have been almost as happy, i havent felt nos come on that hard in a long time and it was smooth as can be, FINALLY. I think his biggest mistake was racing me from a roll though, cause when my cars running good it traps 108-111, same as a lot of the low 12 and mid to high 11 second cars. I think i wouldve just barely caught him or lost in a full quarter but i didnt tell him that. Maybe i should go from a 75 shot now to a 125. Hmm, anyone want to come watch the fireworks?

Wrecked the snake today. Prolly going to get totaled. Damage to the front and the rear. I wasn't driving fast, it was a very hot day, short rain burst made the pavement very very slick. Rear end kicked out in a sharp curve, got a Toyota Corrolla with the front (glancing blow), then spun around and nailed a Dodge Ram in the left front tire with the back of the snake. Sub Frame welds still intact so there is my ray of hope. Total distance from initial loss of traction to the car being stopped was less than 50 yards. A total accident, I would feel better about it if I had been driving like I usually do, then I could blame me for it. 3 cars, 5 people involved, no injuries so that is something to be thankful for. Not sure how much I will get if it is totaled, the car is paid off. Anyway, be careful out there. Peace

Yeah, alot of times it happens when you least expect it. Your more alert when being stupid, just depends on other drivers then and you dont want to hit anybody while being stupid, hasnt happened to me yet but dam what a sickening feeling it has to be.
