Man what a Friday the 13th,this is the Good part.
I was invited to Grand Bend by a long time friend to an All Pontiac Event 10am to 4pm
I develop a header leak on the way up,which just gets worse and worse.
The car runs like SH*T because its at the collector and the O2's are on the Y.

I blow the tires off on the 1st run and do an 1/8 mile burnout needless to say everyone is pissed at me(VHT is expensive)

Me and the car cool off and make a high 13 pass and notice the tach acting funny.

I go back up after a cool down and cut another good 60ft 2.07
I get a 5.85 330ft and the clocks shut down!
WTF happened?
It felt like my best run and probably was.
To make a long story short the car ran proggressively worse slowing to a 14.4 on my last pass.(trans was slipping)
To top things off I get nailed for speeding on the way home!
Friday the 13th! What luck!

Well on thursday I was working on my Suburban, and something got in my eye. Well I though I got it out, but yesterday I noticed that my eye felt funny. I went and looked in a mirror and my eye is all red. So I put some visine in it, and the red went away. Wake up this morning and it's in pain and red again. So I guess it's off to the hospital in a few, what a way to spend my birthday

Happy Birthday Joe,sorry to hear about your eye,I hope its ok.
Iroc,I had lunch by the lake today and saw a middle age couple pushing their daughter in a wheel chair on a path, suddenly my day did not seem so bad.
There will be other days at the track,and I probably should slow down on the highway.
Thanks though and things could be worse,at least for me.
BTW for what its worth,the 5.85 330ft was my best ever,my previuos best was 5.901 on my sig slip! DOH!!
Get Well Joe! Hope to see you both at M7.

He cut me some slack so iwas 114k in an 80k = $157.50 + 4 points
