Well Friday started out a little rough for me....took my Bike to Gingerman for some needed steam blow off....got blown off in a turn, **** her down at about 65 mph coming out of a turn. Bike took the crash well, minimal damage, me... I have not one scratch or bruise, not even a sore spot at all! Needless to say, my gear worked well.

Sunday, our group of friends set up a grudge racing deal at a local dragstrip. About 35 or so of our close friends went out and ran... many first timer runs were made and lots of great e.t.'s were had... to name a few:

My wife's first time on the track, stone stock 89 Vette, six speed she turned a 14.3, I managed a 13.97 out a stock vette!

Took the bike to the track as well, 2008 CBR1000, pulled a .008 reaction time and a best e.t. at 10.37, stock bike!

Are you sure it was a stock vette? Never heard of one of them running 13's in that year with your combination. If it was you guys are born naturals racing that car! :)

I bought the car from the second owner and I know the first owner. I have maintained the car for over 15 years. Its STOCK, box STOCK, as in STOCK air filter, cat converter, mufflers, clutch, ZF 6 speed, 89,450 miles....STOCK! Take her up to 4500 RPMS and hammer it....I'll post the video if I can figure out how!
