Pinks all out what a day! M.I.R.

Well Just got back from Mir,what a day.Some bad *** cars.Well by the end of the day,I was hanging out with my friend with a 66 gto when they announced the cars that would run.Everyone is waiting They said we have 14 for sure in the show but we have 10 cars to fill the remaining 2 spots they were to damn close.They announced there all high 10 second cars.We are all like oh **** its on.They call out my friends car,and 2 cars later Ernie is in.Its on now,the deal was who ever had the best reaction to Rich when he droped his hands would be in.Well to make the long story short,my boy slept,and Ernie did cut it good but I guess not good enuff.We missed out!! Damn it,But Ernie was getting better as the day went on.
I am waiting on you tube to catch up and I will post the videos.
CONGRATS Ernie,the car was looking good!
Bacon,well Bacon Broke!Sorry Bro

Fun day. I am beat from being in the sun. Lots of really nice cars.

I went 9.35 at 150 on the first pass. Think I might have surprised a few people.

Must say this was probably the most fun I've ever had racing. Especially since I was the only import picked to represent. I did think I did a good job with my reaction time to Rich's hands, but in the end I suppose they wanted an all domestic showing. Im still running 30psi, but now I think I've got my launches down, Im gonna go ahead and start wicking the boost up. As you can see from my 2nd run, I launched pretty well. Shame they didn't give me a timeslip though. Car is running great! Never had this much damn fun. Next race is July 15 Battle of the Imports @ MIR. Boost is goin up baby!
Roy thanks again for everything today. I actually was lookin for ya to line me up the last race, but couldn't find ya
By the way guys, Pinks interviewed me. It was pretty cool. They asked how I felt bein the only import selected, where I was from yada, yada....Still was very cool and had a blast.
One more thing, I thought this was funny. Everybody was telling me how I was pulling the mustang in on the top end. Not too often you see that, lol....

Yes Ernie, that second video looked like you launched well. It's good to know that Ray built you a very good and strong running car. Glad you had fun.
