Just not right

[Pit Man]

I was all happy with my new 60 foot time of 1.55..then Robz tells me if I wasn't so old I could lift my foot\leg quicker off the clutch and do a lot better.
Ernie, what are you doing...greasing the bottom of your shoe so it slides off the pedal quicker ??? You guys help me out here !! Pit-man

[Ernie King]

At 64 years old, I always had a Good Looking Girl stand out front someplace and wave.. Gets me off the Line real Fast..

Ernie

PS: my best 60 was only 1.50

[robz]

My bad!
But, I'm sure I didn't say that. lol
Ernie how'd you run, 10.70???

[Pit Man]

Ernie, that is some awesome runs. Looks like the only thing that might have changed your ET a little each time is probably running into a different amount of flying bugs or something...lol. Mr. consistant you are..unreal. Pit-man

[MSiska]

Those are Awesome times Ernie!! And you aren't old, just getting better!!

[Ernie King]

Thanks guy's... Mike that's what she said last night...

Nice job !

[Ernie King]

Well guys, Sorry to say Rob and I didn't line up today at his track rental... Like I said before I didn't stand a chance and I'll let Robz fill in the blanks..

But I did have a PB.. I had 2 runs back to back with the same et and speed

60 1.49
330 4.390
1/8 6.826
mph 100.67
1000 8.932
1/4 10.71
mph 127.31

That's it for me this year, I would still like to try the 3.73 rear to see if I can get off the line a little harder..

Ernie

[Pit Man]

Ernie, isn't that a new BEST 60' for you...1.49 ???? Great runs

[Ernie King]

Yes it is, and the speed is too... Don't forget this is with a 3.42 rear..

Ernie

[Pit Man]

Ernie,
Would you like me to STORE that Vette for you for the winter ? I would take good care of it for sure. Hate to see it just sit up and not be used !!! Pit-man

[robz]

My bad guys. Ill fill in the details on the other thread. I was gonna run Ernie at the end of the day but broke something in the rear while experimenting with a new trans. My buddy was driving. I have another rental on the 26th. I can get Ernnie in again.
Ernie: Your care is so smooth and fast.

[Ernie King]

Rob, Thanks, I had a great time lots of fast Vettes... I'll check and see what in on for this month.. I'll let you know.

Pit, I'm sure you would take real good care of it. But then I wouldn't be able to go out and wax it...

Ernie
