damn you, nice times!

what did you lose to, btw?

 

It was an older Malibu, drag car pretty much. They made me run in the pro class, for some reason anything quicker than 13.99 they do. I made it to the final 6 cars out of 102 cars so I'm pretty happy lol.

 

i assume you had slicks for that bitchin 60.

 

Mickey Thompson ET Drag Radials FTW!!!

Stock axles too lol

 

nice times man. damnit working fridays is killin me right now.

i gotta bust into the 13s ahh! lol

 

Do my times sound about right to you guys? I think I should be running faster.

 

i would think with your mods you should be getting at least another 5mph and 0.2-0.4 seconds quicker.

but im comparing that to edmonton.
thought about coming to castrol to compare? its likely your track/conditions keeping your times a bit higher.

 

hes losing mph with the slicks.... but gaining ET...

great job man...

I updated the list... your back to number 1 spot lol... congrats....

Ill be comming into GP wednesday afternoon...

 

What are you going to GP for? Oilfield work? I can't think of any other reason to come here lol.

I think I'll go to Edmonton sometime to the track but I'm gonna have a hard time packing my DRs and suitcases and stuff in the car lol. I'd like to go sometime though.

 

lol, ofcourse oilfield work...

Right now im on days off, but im on a job thats down the two lakes road south of grovedale.... been workin there for last 3 weeks, still have another 5 weeks to go on this job probly...

i hate GP lol

 

I hate GP too lol. Only been here for 1 year. Not too bad I guess but the roads are ****. You should hit me up when you're here. PM me if you got spare time.

 

i wont have time sorry man..

ill be in town long enough to drop off my truck to get my tranny completely overhauled and then i am heading out to location with a company truck.

 

Where ya getting your tranny done at?

 

Gawd I hated oilfield work, but i LOVED the money. It's the trade off and IMO it's a crappy one. I went back to school instead, I could go back out there in 2 years in a wireline truck but meh I'd rather sit behind a desk downtown.

 

than u dont know work, if sitting behind a desk it cheeky to you, fine go hard, but 10 years down the line when i own my instrument company, that diversifies to anything in the world , wholl be sitting further, ahead, IMO its all about who u work for, and what ur doing,

what is really so crappy about oilfield work, i find nothign wrong with it, other than i may get covered in crude oil here and there, but IMO

i make around 50 an hour, plus i have full use of a company truck(that includes gas), i have a company CC, full use of a company phone, a complete fully tooled shop with lift and crane and i only work 40 a week when i want

u wont find me sitting behind a desk for a long time, i find its boring and u do the same thing over and over, i do something completely different everyday and i get to blow thousands of dollars worth of electronics up, just cuz i can, and i also get to work with top of the line electronics that may or may not be the future

 

ah the wireliners, i think he absorbed a lil too much nuclear powa.

 

sunfire joe, your making 50 per hour and your driving a cobalt?? Say you work 40 hrs per week, your grossing 8000 per month... you should be able to afford payments on a vette pretty easily.....

not criticizing or anything....just saying...

chances are you are probly investing ur money elsewhere if you plan to have your own company or w/e......


but yeah, I am a welltesting supervisor and i pull in my fair share per month... and there is no way you will ever see me behind a desk lol... i think its totally worth it being away from home making this kinda money instead of making **** all behind a desk....

to make the money I make, you would need 6 years of school and then 5-10 years experience at a job with ur degree and then you would make as much as me and probly more... but your already starting out in debt from 6 years of loans you have to pay off, where i will have already made about 1 million dollars gross in those 6 years you were in school........

So I would still be ahead 10-15 years from now than the guy who went to school....

 

yur right cody, unless your pulling a flarestack, and lose your brakes, and fly off into oblivion.....
a desk is a little safer; just not for everyone.

 

i have a house payment, a truck payment , a car payment, and a lake payment, soo yah my money is pretty tightly locked down, and i usually try to go on 2 to 3 vacations a year. dont get my wrong, but i do work a lot fo the time 50 to 60 a week, but sometimes it doesnt seem like enough lol, money just doesnt stay iun my accounts

 

I know how you feel...

i dont know where the money goes that i make lol....

just had my tranny rebuilt adn got my truck back today... $2800 repair bill lol.... it goes just as fast as you make it.....

 

no it goes faster than i make it

 

Here's my new personal best: 13.722 @ 102.93 mph at Race City with the car on street tires.

 

we have a new top time now

 

How the heck did you pull that off on street tires? I wish I could do that! Nice driving!

 

Wider tires and play with the pressure. Remember, I said "street" tires, not stock tires. But they're just typical tires... not drag radials or anything like that. I can't remember exactly, but I think they're Nexen N3000.
