Default New tune
I entered tha PSCA Mustang Madness race on the 15th - the 17th at Fontana. I was fighting the car the whole weekend. I thought I finally had it fixed and the car died on the line in the 2nd round eliminations. It blew a bunch of unburned fuel when I got it started again and I drove home just fine.

I decided to take it to RET and have Greg check the tune and work his magic. Here's what I left with.



I also had left my ET Streets on the rear because I was gonna go to LA Invasion. But along the way I picked up a nail or something and had a flat tire. I got someone to plug it, but I wasn't gonna race on that tire. So tonight I came home and decided to pull the tires off and put my street tires back on. I'll be getting a new set of ET Streets in the next couple of days.

Here's what I love about this hobby. My 7 year old girl just had to help me. You can't beat moments like this.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

Nice work Joe. And great letting your kids work when they want to. I think a lot of parents push their kids aside when they want to help at a young age and wonder why they're useless when they get older. Anyhow, nice pics.

Thanks, Sean. I can't wait to get it back to the track. Probably at the Street Legals on Saturday.

I always try to let her help when she wants to. You should see the grin on her face whaen she asks me if she did something right and I tell he she did a good job.

The numbers that really count to me will be at the track. Let's see how that goes the next time.

I've been swamped at work. I had to lay off several people, so my workload has grown. I used to only have to work 40 - 50 hours a week. Now I'm doing ~60 -70.

What sucks for you is that no matter how old I get, I'll still be way younger than you.

Maybe body wise, but I'll never be as old as you in the mental department. I'll never grow up. No sir, NEVER. I refuse!
