Saturn Motorsports Double Win

[KPWSerpiente]

So much negativity

I didn't bring the negativity. Last year's NOPI event at MIR was called a waste of time and or ricefest by several alumni.

as soon as i have a car that's fast enough to merit going to the strip i'll take it there.

The majority of members of this board think you should start track events in a low power vehicle. I would give the same advice for those planning on hitting the strip.

let us know some cool stuff if you get a hold of this cat.

Get a hold of him? Jason and I are tizzight. And by tizzight...I mean I bother him and Mike Gerber every week.

I gave Jason congrats today on the win in Az. Asked him how it was, and he told me 'it was cool' and that it 'felt awesome.'

I asked him what Lisa Kubo did in the same car last season (knowing that she did a 7.7@197) hoping he would oblige me with his predictions for the year. Which he did.

He explained how she had ran the car for almost two full seasons and that this was his first time running that vehicle in a real event. He also reiterated his street car background (his 9 second CRX) and explained that things would work themselves out over the season.

He didn't say it, but I could tell he was more than sure that he would eclipse not only her time from last season which would set a a new class record but that he would also pilot the first fwd drag car into the 200mph zone once he has more seat time.

He also said that the head that was on the car didn't undergo the rebuild it should have prior to the event...he said that it had almost 30 passes on it and should have been stripped and rebuilt to make sure it was in spec after the tenth pass. He offered this neither has an excuse for a poor performance or as absolute proof that he would improve. Just as an obervation. He said that these heads (GM) are not like Hondas. I didn't follow up on what he meant. When speaking with the pros I like to pretend I understand at least half of what they say.

I told him good luck in his event in Alabama next weekend...and he told me it was in Florida. And I said, who cares...I won't make that one...just sort everything out by the Maryland event.
