Roddimus Prime April-14th-2004 10:22 AM

nice!

Topher April-14th-2004 10:24 AM

...and i can beat your ass!

Roddimus Prime April-14th-2004 10:46 AM

if you can catch me!! I'm not too shabby with the p5 at the track. I've been known to walk down some fast cars...

240's
94-98 GT's
civic si's
civic hatch's
rsx type s's (these guys had the hondata computers and exhausts also!)


you'll have to ask Miller (anarchistchiken) about the rsx's if you don't believe me!

Topher April-14th-2004 11:12 AM

i believe you...you'll have to give me a few pointers on racing the p5.

Roddimus Prime April-14th-2004 11:13 AM

here's pointer #1......2600rpm clutch dump.

pointer #2.....shift REALLY fast!

pointer #3.....bitch at the track officials when they stop giving out time slips while I'm staging!

Roddimus Prime April-15th-2004 03:48 PM

bump....meet's going down..are you?!?!

p5on19s April-15th-2004 05:48 PM

I will be there. Probably show up around 6p.m. and maybe get in a few pics before the sun goes down. I definetly will hang out for a while, but no racing for me. Have a new baby at home, and 19s'...oh well. It will be fun to meet up though:bt:

Roddimus Prime April-15th-2004 07:53 PM

why can't you race because of 19's or a baby??? The baby wont be driving........or will it?!?!

We're not street racing....we're going to a legel drag strip, governed, by cops, paramdedics and officials. It's the real deal, don't worry about tickets or breaking anything.

p5on19s April-15th-2004 09:21 PM

no, i just can't be gone that long. i will leave t-town around 5 to get up to the summit, then leave around 8 or so to get home to help my wife with the baby. just don't like being gone a long time while she stays at home. i will take her a chicken ceaser calzone from M.G. to enjoy....maybe a cannolli:)

"leave the gun, take the cannolli"

Roddimus Prime April-15th-2004 11:35 PM

hahaha, leave the gun period!

I understand about wanting to get back.....Topher got him a sitter....that's all I'm saying....He's commited man!! That's a commited man!!

Roddimus Prime April-15th-2004 11:38 PM

Should we even bother trying to start up a "real" group??

Are there enough "regulars" to start a monthly meeting?? Let's take a roll call.

Ok guys, so I think it's safe to say our first "meet" was a bust! It was good to see everyone though. I blame our sucky evening on Topher and his lack of commitment to the forum and the club as a whole! I vote that his privalages be revoked and he be banished to drive a hyundai for the rest of his days.

Here's a quick list of the "minutes" of our meet.

7pm - just about everyone has arrived (waited forever for Blake....hemmhoroid problems or something)

7:30pm - told by local bicycle cops to close my hood as apparently it was annoying local vendors. I retalliated with a comment about him being a minimum-wage flashlight cop.

7:50pm - asked to leave by local bicycle cops. Told we either had to shop or leave. No changes made to our plans.

8:10pm - Told yet again by bicycle cop that we had to stand on the sidewalk to chat so it would look less like loitering. We wait on sidewalk.

8:30pm - Bicycle cops and vehicle cops (4 in total) now circling our cars. We walk over to investigate....asked to leave again....still waiting for Blake.

9:00pm - Blake arrives and we leave. Head to Arby's because Miller will have a heart attack if he didn't get something to eat!

10pm - Decided to quit waiting for people to show up and headed out to the track.

10:30pm-2:30pm - Raced and raced often. Matt yet again proved why he is the undisputed king of all that is racing when his ebay-intake powered p5 ran a 10.53s eighth mile @ 68mph and a quarter mile of 16.47s. Thats a good .4-.5s faster than other p5's/mp3's with many mods.

The evening ended with Matt standing in the lights of Lassiter Mountain Drag. The cool 55* wind blowing on his face. The feeling of victory hanging fresh in the now morning air. All was well with the world. I wanted to roll over, light up a cigarette and turn on Letterman. Everyday should be this good.


p.s. Then I got home and had to take mt wife to the ER. She fractured her ankle in her sleep. She's ok though.

pro5 April-18th-2004 04:12 PM

Hope your wife is o.k. As for the regular "meet", I'm in. Sorry I had to leave so early. Got your pm from other forum & pmed you back.
