Don't laugh at me, but...

...I met one of my Mustang heroes at the drag strip last night. It's a guy with a red '99-2001 Cobra with Steeda lowering suspension and Steeda (I think) wing/spoiler. Car looks AWESOME and has gotta be running at LEAST mid 12s on street tires (he has to come off the line mega-easy or else he'll be spinning all the way through the 1/8th mile.

Heh, heh. To tell the truth, he smoked me on the road about a year earlier. Needless to say, he thoroughly remembered the event

. Anyway, he's a really cool guy and I invited him here at MW.

Also, the track seemed super slippery last night

. Literally, almost every 3-5th car was getting squirrly (almost losing it--but no wrecks, thank God) or blowing something on the track, which was followed by 5-15 minute session of track inspecting and cleaning....

IF YOU BLOW SOMETHING PLEASE PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE TRACK. Don't run all the lenght leaking fluid

. Some guys just don't seem to get it....

...Hmmm I kinda got of subject.... Oh well

We all have our heros.

Sometimes they drive fast Mustangs. No problem there and no need to apologize.

Why would we laugh at you ? We all have our heroes. When I grew up my racing hero was Kenny Bernstein..I used to race with him when he first started, and he taught me a few things. He is still my hero today.
So don't feel that way, most of us here would never laugh at you for the way you feel.

Thanks guys

.

He's just one of the stangers I wanted to talk to for a while (but he was so elusive), not that I wanted to be just like him when I grow up or something....

Since he smoked me on the street, I would see his car from a distance like once every 6 months--like a Phantom Cobra (hey, that's a good username for some one

)-- going down the road just enough so I could only get a glimpse of it. When I talked with him, dude was real cool and easy to get along with.
