Default Not very many kills being posted ....Is it the cold winter weather or what?

This time of the year sucks the track is closed and I have all of these new mods..........I have been talking smack to some of the LS1 owners and fellow 5.0 owners just to get them to the track on opening day.

Cant wait bored

Yeah, unfurtunately the Stang is in the garage under a cover until the spring. However, the winter's been so mild I probably didn't even need to put it in storage this year.

I was going to get my Mustang out this weekend (it's been over 3 months since I've driven it!) but now they're calling for 2-3" of snow tonight. So, I guess it will have to wait and see what next weekend holds.

The winter always seems to slow this particular forum down pretty well.

Only a couple more months until Spring!

hows about this, I dont feel the need to post every kill, but since they arent as plentiful:

I was driving down a two lane road the other day, when i hear this buzzing sound fart pipe, heh it was a riced out, (stickers and bright yellow paint)89-92 RX7 pulls out in front of me, purposely tryin to stay in front, and i had to slam my brakes, I caught up quick, to find him slowing down to let traffic ahead get distance, me with my e.t. streets and an evil grin i catch up ready put down the smack at a 40 mph roll, i let him go first, so i dropped to 2nd and pulled him until he was at my rear tire, I was bangin gears with the e.t streets biteing, so he couldnt pull, in 3rd up to around 90mph where he didnt want no more.

his exhaust was so loud i didnt hear any turbo, but im sure he had one, judging from the 2nd gen bodystyle.

I usually post races like crazy. Kinda hard to do with the car in the garage with the interior ripped out of it, not to mention all the snow on the ground.

It's 36 degrees here and raining like crazy. The closest thing to a race I've had in the last couple of months is a soccer mom in a minivan. I haven't even seen the bumble bees out. They must also hibernate in the winter!
