My other crew member ended up breaking his driver axle, and slightly twisting the pass side axle. No real damage was done, I had a pile of axles at the shop here. its almost 3am, and its fixed 100%, so he will be at waterford hills here in a few hours. I might be sleeping in a bit.

**That car's a total POS! You could never build anything half as fast as mine. You'll never put up a timeslip or video because you're too embarrased little boy. You're a pretender, a troll, and just jealous of my awesome adapter plates. They're an engineering marvel. I've contributed more to the Fiero community than anyone ever. Just don't try to talk to me, or ask me questions. You could have brought your car to me and run 13's for only $10k more and it'd be much better. I'm gonna go prove it by rolling my stuff on and off a trailer now.
Remember, axles don't break, if you break an axle I'll personally come replace it.

Love,
Archie**

Just posted the above for you since I figure this will be the first time Archie won't be posting this crap right after you make a post, and I know you're used to seeing it. I don't want the status quo to change or anything like that LOL.

Its too bad that 400+ crank HP Pennsylvania car didn't make a pass. It would have been nice to see another 11 second transverse Fiero.

Stock, 3.4 pulley, nitrous = I win! I suppose the only mod other than nitrous that took me from my 12.8's to my 12.2, was the race gas.

Stupid Windows media player does NOT support .AVI anymore. I don't understand that either. It has supported it since windows 95. Perhaps its a "protected content" issue or something. Microsoft has become anti-customer in the past couple of years.

Sorry guys, I thought xvid was a pretty standard codec these days. I use WinAmp myself, and if it doesn't get the codec on it's own, I believe you can get it at www.divx.com

I honestly forgot, because my 60ft was a tad bit slower than what I run with street tires. They were just something I had, and used them because I had a very limited amount of runs to get street tires off the line that fast.

Now if I post up an 11 here in the next month, I will credit traction to that.

It was a nice day out there... a lot more crowded than our local tracks.

Mosquitoes sucked all the life force out of me when the sun went down.

Nice meeting you Soctt (DH). Got to meet Christian (bigfieroman)... both of you are all right in my book.

NTFC was out there supporting our club member Daniel, (Green87), that ran a new PB with 13.5
He did not really beat on the car too much... 1300 mile trip home, ya know.

The night was so cool, and the line so long, he never got good heat built up in his drag radials.

NTFC attended this real well with me, mstngsbware, Daniel, and custom84cp... checking out the scene.
How is it that more people from Texas made this than locals???

Good to meet you Pyrthian... thanks again for loaning me your jack at Waterford!
