First of all, I would like to thank all of you for the kind words! I did my best to represent you well and bring home the win, and luckily I did just that

I'd also like to tip my cap to Jeff. Not only was he very cool during the whole thing, but he also has a very nice Challenger. It's nice to see more mutual respect than the typical douchebaggery we come to expect these days.

The statement there is no replacement for displacement is all well and true.....but if you can't put the power down, it's meaningless...

Jeff was (and is) a great guy with an awesome car! If I did have Challenger, it would be done like his. He even bought me a beer after the event

I detect a slight Canadian accent, eh! Are you a transplanted snow bird?

Thanks!

Haha nope, born and raised in PA but to a Swedish father and Irish mother, and live many years over in Europe.

You not only represented C5, but both of you did an outstanding job of representing American muscle car racing with cool and class; no immature "fast and furious" type of crap. Huge grats on your win!

Were either of you running Royal Purple? I use it and it's great stuff.

Thank you Sir! I appreciate the kind words

I was running Royal Purple in my rear end (that sounds dirty...) but not in the motor that time.

And here is a link to the episode

I'll let a few of you guys watch it first before I comment on the outcome and say a few chosen words, don't want to spoil it for anybody

It took everything in me not to ask you who won at the Club meetup Wednesday. I knew you swept him somehow. It was awesome to finally see you DO IT !!!Great driving!!!

DarkneSS · 05-06-2011, 01:41 PM

Great job Eric!

And LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

13.7 with TT? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

My V6 with intake + cut outs + radials will run a better time than that!

Hahahahahaha Im sorry but thats hilarious. Give me that thing and I'll put it into mid 12s.

But anyways great job again Erik! Most of the time on this show people dont seem to be all that good drivers but I must admit you are an exception to that.

Thanks for the in!
