Live from the pits @ the WFC.
Pete Biondo and I struck a deal last week at the Bristol national event for him to drive my Super gas corvette in the WFC.
So after a 5 hour drive including a 45 minute traffic jam and $611 of fuel I made it here ok, Broke but ok.
During the week I had to remove the delay box and take the trans button off the wheel.
After that was finished I thought I should try 1 launch in the driveway. Everything worked perfect untill i needed to back up to load the car in the trailer, with no delay box the button will not make the car back up. no problem, push it back and get a trans button from Sneaky at bristol and wire it up. So load everything the highest paid pit bitch in tennesse will need for the trip. 6 Bottles of Crown, 1 grill, steaks, beer, and sunscreen.
Now to this morning, got the trans button in, we decided that 4.80's would be to fast so I shut the throttle stop down some to go 5.30's.
Well we missed that a little. The First time run was 5.18 @ 135 mph and pete was .021 red.
Ok crew chief make a adjustment, I change the stop and pete leaves 1000 rpm lower and we get a 5.67 @ 124 mph with a .055 light .
The 1000 rpm with the power I took out was to much.
The pit bitch needs to earn his money so now I have put 2 rounds of stop back in. He should go 5.30 something.
Pete is up making 1 run in his stocker. He only needs one in it as kyle seipel put it, ( it is like an old girlfriend, when you go back it always feels good)
there is about 150 cars here and the 2nd time run is almost over. For those of you that care or give a damn i will update this as much as possible to keep you interested.
IM thinking this pit bitch needs to get paid

Sneaky Fuq and big head pete, I mean Sneaky Head and Pete Fuqua, I mean, well whatever,
You two need to find a casino and to hell with foot feeding that super gas car.
Two of the best in the bisness, one can talk sh1t and the other can drive, you can figure that out.
Fuzz - bet its gonna leave a mark up there. 5.32 and .036

Bitch better have my money.
I made the adjustment and we dial 5.33 and we are going to leave the rpm the same 1600.
The result 5.329 with a .040 react.
Damn .001 under.
Gonna raise the rpm 300 for first round and go for their throats.
IM thinking its after 12 eastern time, time for a cocktail... ( I said cocktail)
