Black-Back · « **Reply #2 on:** August 04, 2004, 11:25:30 AM »

.......and so it begins..........again...........

Chris · « **Reply #3 on:** August 04, 2004, 11:36:15 AM »

Honestly it never ended, I just come up with some doozies that I choose not to use, as it would get the crap kicked out of me!

red snapper · « **Reply #4 on:** August 04, 2004, 11:52:58 AM »

I see James brought friends to help him with his smack talk. :lol: Nothing was really settled before Fester. So I really hope you show up this time next weekend.

James Buchan · « **Reply #5 on:** August 04, 2004, 02:48:14 PM »

Nothing....settled....um ok mister mid 14.... your car better have a 13 second pass in it, cause mine sure does.

Better take your FULL interior,bumpers,roof,lids,fenders and whatever else you can remove to lighten up that tank!

red snapper · « **Reply #6 on:** August 04, 2004, 03:37:34 PM »

Whats with all the fuss James? Im just asking because you have said before you were going to be somewhere more than once and it never happened.

Dejavu?

Anyways, from what I understand is that your car is not a proven 13sec car either. Be careful not to wake the sleeping giant. :lol:

James Buchan · « **Reply #7 on:** August 04, 2004, 03:48:48 PM »

Gaint as in overweight? If thats the case no worries - definatly don't have to worry about the driver.....

No worries for you, I'm sure you'll be happy to just get in the low 14's like I ALREADY have.

red snapper · « **Reply #8 on:** August 04, 2004, 03:57:07 PM »

I \"already\" have seen low 14s. It only took me 3 tries.

James Buchan · « **Reply #9 on:** August 04, 2004, 04:02:40 PM »

14.3 isn't low - that's more like mid

3 tries that day and how many since..... :ph34r:

red snapper · « **Reply #10 on:** August 05, 2004, 07:02:16 AM »

14.3s are not low 14s? What do you consider high 14s? I may be wrong but anything under 14.5 is considered low. Anybody else?

Chris · « **Reply #11 on:** August 05, 2004, 07:42:10 AM »

if we want to split hairs i would have to say that

14.0 - 14.333 would be low

14.334 - 14.666 would be mids

14.667 - 14.999 would be highs

I say you both get on a mighty 45 and race the 1/4 mile and who ever wins, wins. End of your little gripe. You hug and make up.

Either that or race for pink slips!

But a tank is a tank, right ?!

Stephan Schmidt · « **Reply #12 on:** August 05, 2004, 10:43:52 AM »

james and brian, line up at mission raceway on the 13th, side by side, whatever happens happens.

That will settle everything

if you spin the tires through first, don't get traction, miss a shift, etc... its once or nothing

just my 2 cents

but it sure it entertaining to read these posts :lol:

red snapper · « **Reply #13 on:** August 05, 2004, 10:46:24 AM »

Yes Stefan, that is the whole idea. As long as James shows up. B)

James Buchan · « **Reply #14 on:** August 05, 2004, 10:47:50 AM »

Oh I'll show up, did you get the suspension in your jeep upgraded to handle the weight of towing your car yet?

red snapper · « **Reply #15 on:** August 05, 2004, 11:55:56 AM »

Trailering my car eh? Last time I saw your car it was being towed to Mission as well (mind you it was a while ago). I think if your going to beat on it and havent got a backup plan your friggin crazy. Hope YOU dont break cause its a long push home.

Chris · « **Reply #16 on:** August 05, 2004, 11:58:02 AM »

Was that supposed to be smack talk? I dont see it.

James Buchan · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2004, 02:54:41 PM »

You lend me the slicks, and I'll do my best wheels up impression of the hulk possible.

Chris · « **Reply #19 on:** August 05, 2004, 03:01:25 PM »

this will be on camera and the loser will be mocked badly!!!!

Shane · « **Reply #20 on:** August 05, 2004, 03:02:16 PM »

Slicks are yours Brotha... Now dont get all SCAREDY PANTS on me....Hey even Tweds went wheels up in that boat of his!!

red snapper · « **Reply #21 on:** August 05, 2004, 03:56:03 PM »

Well, if your going to be putting slicks on your car you can forget about the head start I was going to give you.

James Buchan · « **Reply #22 on:** August 05, 2004, 03:56:26 PM »

Tweds?

? I vaguely remember him - does he still drive that car? I haven't heard of him going to the track this summer....

James Buchan · « **Reply #23 on:** August 05, 2004, 03:57:23 PM »

If you prefer Brian, I will race you without - I don't want ANY excuses like last time.

Gotta have some hype for the night! Seeing as there won't be any 10 second passes happening....in an aircooled anyways.

Brian and I have built up to this for over a year, it will be good to officially (as my beating his best time of 14.339 @ 94mph by an easy .2 seconds wasn't enough) finalize this thing.
