Call out to Firemanfrank

So what did you run at LVD tonight...? My buddy was up there and he texted me saying you ran a 14.7@98. Did you get anything better? Otherwise I think my I/E may have your Stage II beat.

Ha Ha Ha! What a jokester you are chris.

I wasn't even able to go to the track today! Someone's confused here, so let's clear things up a bit.

Here is a copy of the pm that I sent hawkeyez today, dated 06-25-2008 at 03:45 PM:

(this is a direct paste with merged replies, so to make it easier to read, my pm's are in blue, hawk's are in red)

Supposed to be nice, down into the 60's tonight.

Sat. also looks good, but hotter w/storms in the pm.

Let me know, I'll check my pm's later around noon.


Myself and a friend of mine will be going. He has a blue SS/SC.

I just got your message, but we left at noon for a morning training class on Meth Labs and we just got back (it's now 3:30 pm).

At this point, I don't think they can accept requests for time off when it's only a few hours away (they normally need 4 hrs advanced notice).

I didn't put the slip in earlier because I wasn't sure yet if anyone else was going.

Darn! Today is a perfect day for racing!

On the Fire Dept., they have to replace your position and hire a overtime guy for when your gone.

Sorry .....
So in summary:
Hawk's pm came to me at 12:37pm, but I was already in a training class and didn't get back until 3:45pm. Too late to do anything about it. Hawk can verify my pm.

The car that ran 14.7 had to have been the blue balt that hawk mentioned his friend had (I have not even met hawk yet).

Seriously, I ran 14.8@96mph box stock with only 500 miles on the car. And you think I only ran 1/10 sec. quicker and 2mph faster with Stage 2?

So I guess your "call out" can now officially be "called back in".

Truth>Fiction

Ah. I was thinking it had to have been another car because I remember you saying you ran a 14.8 bone stock. I was starting to get worried for a minute there.. I asked him if there was a blue SS SC there with high rise wing, polished rims and an "older" guy driving it. (no offense.. lol). I guess that makes 2 now, lol. I plan on going up this coming Wednesday, do you think you will be there as well?

Yeah, I can see now why you thought it was me.

Seeing how I had the same exact car and being an "older" guy.

As far as next Wed. is concerned, I'm not working so I'll be there if it's not hot/humid.

I got my 14.8 on a cool/dry night, not much of a comparo if I go there unless it's close to that.

I really wanted to be there last night ....

You wouldn't be the first person to mod a car and it either only gain 1/10 or it becomes slower

Forecast is looking good for next Wednesday so far. I'll make a deal with you. If I beat you, you owe me an order of LVD french fries. If you beat me, i'll buy. What do you say? The fries there are amazing.. lol

2,500 miles ago, the dealer installed a new clutch in my car.

Should be ok in that dept.!
