Ive been wondering if i should post this or not because its kinda funny yet embarassing, Last weekend the whole crew took a trip to our local 8th mile for Runday Sunday. You run all day for $15 bucks then its like $1 per time slip or somethin like that, Most of the time we just run to have fun and dont care about times so my brother brought out his 85 omni GLH turbo this car has been a WIP for awhile its still got the stock 2.2 but its on 15 psi with bigger injectors and it pulls pretty hard IMO, Anyways my aunt starts the shit talkin between my brother and myself and i figure what the hell why not. We line up and right when we launch i look over and hes right there. (his car hooks GOOD) I shift into second and look over and im barely pullin away im talkin like 3 inches barely pullin. I get to the top of second and look over and my dash is about inline with his front tire, I go for third.........and fucked it big time completely missed 3rd made and a horrid sound that made me wanna >> :cry: so i just coasted threw the lights there was no point after that.

:3d_frown: He won and ran a 10.99 while i kicked myself in the ass all the way back to the pits.

Ive always had a problem with getting 3rd right in this car while shifting fast, I seem to hit the side of the gate and either punch the dash or think im in gear and let the clutch out. (which is what happened this time)

I got too exicted! :biglaugh: I guess i need driver mod. :biglaugh:

But i did beat him later in the day,but his car was breaking up real bad and would barely run so i dont really count it as a win i wanna beat him when hes runnin good. :naughty: It really sucks because my goal was to run somewhere in the 10's that day and i had it by the nuts and let it go with one shift. Oh well theres always next time right? :naughty: Sorry for the novel guys. :biglaugh:

Thanks :) unforuntely hes selling the omni so i dunno how many chances im gonna get :( he doesnt have the money to redo it like he wants and his kids are startin to come into school and lots of other stuff so its gettin money tight for him.

Id love to buy that car because its one of the greats from the 80's and their just so badass lookin but i dont have the money and he needs the money more than i need that car, in all honesty if i had the money for that car id prolly put it into my supra.

This is the race after you can hear the omni choking on its own oil.

last time i was at the 1/8 mile track i my times were 9.1- 8.9 that was last year, and i have alot more done to the car now. If i could hook up now i wouldnt be suprised if i hit high 7s or low 8s. that sucks about missing 3rd though, alittle to much excitement that will happen lol

It's so much fun racing family members even if the cars aren't top notch, in fact that makes for all the more laughs afterwards.
