First trip to the strip

Hey gang, today I took the FFR to the drag strip for the first time. It was a blast and I posted pretty consistent times. Huge thanks to Carl for all the tips and info and keeping me from backing out :-) Oh and for lending me the helmet - which I broke - which he fixed...

First run I was racing vs a full on race prepped triumph. He kicked my butt. He had them tear the ticket in half, so I don't know had bad he whooped me.

Run 3 was against Carl in his 2011 5.0 mustang. Pretty stock, with a catback and tune. Won this one by .71 although we both messed up. He shifted into 6th instead of 4th. And I thought I would see if I could run 3rd gear to the end of the track instead of shifting into 4th - but I hit the rev limiter and coasted to the end.

Last run was against a new camaro. I don't know much about it, but I won with a .18 margin. He was catching up at the end though. I did this run without cooling down too much, I wanted to run while the tires were still hot.

Corbeau install

I should have taken a picture of the installation of these seats because it was a royal pain. Then after I was done, they were too close to the dashboard. I eventually swapped seats passenger and driver and that gave me more room. So today, I finally got them 'finished'. They are nice, comfortable and have a lot more support. ultimately I think I get slightly more space than the old seats too. Win/win/win!

Vacuum Baby!

I was vacuuming downstairs in the kitchen today and I felt a little air on the back of my heel. I looked down expecting to see a cat, but indeed I did not. Instead, our Roomba had joined the cause! Aww the little Rub-a-dub machine! At first I was ... a little bit concerned. How did it know that I was vacuuming? How did it know to join it's mother in the cleaning crusade?

But then I did remember nudging it with the vacuum as I went by. I must have knocked it free from the charger and it decided to do a few loops of cleaning before re-docking.
