A race from a stoplight is pointless, but I would like to see how I stack up against the hampster on the highway...maybe we can do a few pulls down 52  OK, no standing start runs, no curvey roads... just top end from 150mph. You wouldn't stack the deck against me, would you?  Dave, do you know where Mooresville is? Are you planning on going thru Salisbury to get there? It's ok with me, but that's the long way. |

We'll let you lead the way and pick the meeting point. How about from a roll in third from 60? Would that be fair enough? |

I called Steve this afternoon. You and Steve decide where to meet (somewhere along I-40 Business) and let me know where. McDonalds at Thruway on Stratford, maybe? How about from a roll in 2nd gear from 60?... or won't yours rev that high?  |

Leaving Mickie Dee's around 10 will be fine. It's only about 50 minutes to Mooresville. And we will be driving the highways. There is construction on the other side of Mocksville and I don't want to get in it. Sorry this is so late, but we went to Greenville, SC today for the International Motorcycle Show. |

Well, that's just great Gary. The chip is 430 Euros and the after adding the cost of the upgraded injectors that will put this silly endeavor over $1000. You just had to buy a supercharger didn't you? |
