Didnt want to get in the way and frankly I wouldnt know what to do anyway. Dave was very close to the 9. I had my camera die while I was filming the 10.02, but I was able to grap my phone for the final 100ft..
..But I must of said "that's f####ed up" 100 times... If Dave wants me to post it on youtube or something, I'll be glad to..
Here's the videos I shot (in no particular order and not the best by far). At least I hope these are all your car.

Thanks....Yeah I do my best, Jusmx141, said that I have one of the craziest 2nd to 3rd gear shift..

Headlights weren't on after dark. It wasn't even totally dark yet, and Dave did have his parking lights on. I think it was a bullshit excuse just to pull him over and see if he was drinking.

We ran the car 500ft down the road to the All American to visit Tim Zimmer for a minute and show him that the car was finally up and running, and as soon as we pulled out and headed back the state boy whipped around and followed us into the parking lot.
Nevermind the side-exit exhaust, driving with slicks on the street, the two idiots (me and Lofty) in the back seat where there's not actually a seat at all....
I"m not sure exactly what state you were in but one thing i do know is that out east (where i was raised also) the cops are like freaking nazis compared to the cops here in omaha (where else can you lead the cops on a 4 mile chase at 140mph, pull over cause your wife did and both get let go with a verbal warning - of course that was back in my idiot days, i pull over every time now)
One thing i don't miss about home is being pulled over for some imaginable reason and going through a "roadside inspection" because the cop didn't feel like my sticker was legit.. of course i atributed most of it to being a teenager but talking to the few people back home i've kept close with over the years, iguerss it doen'st even stop when you're in your 30's (end voice)
The stateboy that nailed us was definitely headed the other direction on Milan Ave., Tim. In fact, it was the only visible car on Milan Ave. in the other direction clear back to the stoplight at the Burger King....I had a weird feeling it was a cop as soon as I saw it approaching, but as you can see in the pic on the previous page it was sort-of dark out so it was hard to see the lights on the roof until they were on.

Best of 10.10 @ 143.54 tonight at PRP....the evening consisted of three passes: the first was a horrible bogged launch, the second was the 10.10, and the third resulted in a broken left rear axle about twenty feet past the start. He had the parts to swap the axle but there would not have been enough time to get the job done before the final pass of the evening. Videos to follow shortly I'm sure.
We also uncovered a massive boost leak somewhere which may in fact be the intercooler core. His boost pressure stays consistent in the high-30's, but the most airflow logged on the 10.10 pass was in third gear around 6500 RPMs. Once the car was in fourth gear it never logged over 58 lb/min, which we believe to be the reason that the trap speeds are suffering.
I'm loaning Dave my Buschur core to finish out the season....I think it's time we retire the old 2.5"-thick DeJon core. Yes, Dave's run a 10.02 on an antique 2.5"-thick street intercooler with a massive leak somewhere in the intercooler system. Can't wait to see how this car runs with an intercooler rated remotely near the horsepower he's actually putting down!

He was probably just getting ready to set up that DUI checkpoint in front of your hotel.
It's horrible how guys like that have to ruin the fun for everyone else.
We did the same around the general area of Dave's truck. I'm sure that most of the mess was from our group, but we at least make the effort to keep the parking area looking nice so we're welcome back. No need to leave the place looking like a tornado ripped through.
. That brings back memories when I snapped a 3-bolt axle.
