Don't sell yourself short, Chris. Larry's got a point in his post.
[QUOTE=2010 SS RS;3197697]I loved chris's post about the bone stock manual winning the trophy...lol
Just goes to show that what Pepper has been preaching for years is so very true...It dont matter how fast you drive but how well you drive.
No really Larry, there's a lot of luck involved too! 
Now Kirk has even more of a problem..He is in never never land at the cusp of 13.99 and under.... If he runs good he is going to be in a much harder group of much faster cars....Like 3 seconds faster which have much better drivers and a ton of automatics. If he runs slower he will be accused of dogging it and being a sandbagger. He will have to drive over his shoulder so he does not break out which will be at least one thing he will be responsible to do and is actually much harder than shifting gears. Poor Kirky....i feel so bad for him.
The real competition of the club is really now between Tom, Chris and Pepper....all manuals by the way. No offense boys but my money is on Pepper cause she seems to really understand the whole dial in concept and until someone else dethrones her she is the only one with bragging rights.
Dang, I was trying to keep a low profile. Thanks for painting a target on my back. hahaha

I told you, Larry, you painted a target on my back.

I'd shoot for taking Larry ,Ted or Garth first.  |
Being on a crew doesn't make you a driver. I don't have any more experience than the rest of you as a driver (except being a street demon) and have less than many of you.

Ummm, in my UNexpert opinion, yup, 3 10ths is a ton. To give you an idea, my one pass I won by .0041. That's 4 thousandths not 3 hundredths.
Tom, I understand your thought that you and kirk are evenly matched but truly, the only way to get an EVEN match is for you to dial in and run. Then you are both at the mercy of the light, the launch and the run to the line. Just saying.
Thanks for all the props peeps. I expect to go out first round this weekend. Not that the gals I raced are slackers. The gal I was pitted with normally drives a 9 second dragster. The folks in this stick shift class have been doing it for years, too. If I wasn't a true rookie last weekend, I dang sure will be this one. Rest assured, I'll be giving it H$$L regardless! Need that LUCK factor big time, Chris's calm nerves and to stay away from Larry, Garth and whoever else is running from the club.
