First off let me introduce myself my name is Nick Brown and im from Sunbury, Ohio im 18 years old im currently a firefighter and in the process of getting my emt. I have have been into cars my whole life and I have learned most of what i know from my dad. I currently have an 88 s10 blazer that i am doing work to at this point. Its nothing special just an exhaust and upgraded ignition parts. The blazer is getting alot more motor work this winter. I also have an 86 mustang gt 5 speed with a mildly built 302 its a really fun car and has been one of the most reliable cars i have owned. that sounds stupid but I have had 9 cars since I was 16. Sorry i cant get any pics up yet I just recently got this laptop and I dont have the right cord for it to download pics, I will get some as soon as I can. Thanks for taking the time to read this and looking forward to meeting the people on here. Thanks.

i hope they don't see that i cheated for 23 extra lives.

Without giving away the reference, raise your hand if you "got" the thread title. I did

Depending on the length of the course, weight is probably less of a factor than people are thinking. Especially on loose ground (Bonneville), it's not uncommon to ADD weight for ballast and traction. Top-speed is relatively unaffected by mass. If you're on a short course, then the weight will hurt your acceleration, and ultimately prevent you from reaching top-speed in the requisite distance. I'm not sure how much of an issue that is with the distance provided here. Buy beyond that, a 6' 200 lbs rider in a tight tuck will be able to go faster than a 5' 100 lbs rider with crap form. Jason Britton went to Bonneville with a rented GSX-R 600. He expected to go 145 no problem. Didn't even get close. Going fast in a straight line is easy. Going REALLY fast in a straight line isn't. It's not that different from track riding in that regard... You can be proficient enough to not be a hazard relatively quickly, but the faster you get, the harder it is to shave time. The faster you get here, the harder it is to add fractions of a mile-per-hour.

When are people gonna realize that the Amish are just dirty inbred hillbillys with no cars in the yard?

Here's a great article on what I was trying to say. I don't consider myself an Apple Fan Boy. All we have of their products are a couple iPads and iPhones. I still use a Windows PC and have no interest in switching to a Mac Computer.

An american isn't named alwaki or samir. Those names are reserved for terrorists.
