I'm the Dork who ran 14.9 on PassTime. :)
YES I will be on passtime when it airs I would say in a few months , I will let you know when I see it coming up. It was taped today at commerce Atlanta Dragway). After a LONG weekend I got in and did my episode. They are doing 10 total shows here and I am episode 8 car 2, right behind a yellow cobra.
Friday I got there Friday morning and went to do a test and tune run and did the best burnout of my life and went to launch and my stage 2 axle snapped in 3 pieces,yes 3!!! The track was sooooooooooooooo sticky and thats NOT like commerce. So a Friend Grant went by my house and got my oem axle and we fixed it and went this morning after I was told yesterday by the guy who picks all the cars to be there to be on the show and was picked before some better cars
Well I went up and DAMN Paige (the car wrangler) is much hotter in person, but I went up and talked to Brett and the 2 judges and Ken and awnsered the questions (wont say what they are, you will have to tune in and see for yourself ;-) then went and did a small burnout cause nerves were through the roof from the axle break and running on kdw street tires then launched and wheel hopped till I think the 60' mark:blackeye: then went and the turbo stuttered for a second and I over extended the axle when I put it in, newb mistake I take full responsability. But I ran a pathetic 14.9 but hey atleast we have a csvt on national television and the #1 ranked show on speed right.
I dont know what they guessed, they bring you back to the car before they announce that so you dont know and sway towards someone. All in all ,yes I ran a CRAPPPPPY time but I had fun and a csvt was on passtime!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAND if you know anything about drag racing you know who Tim Lynch is, well he was there Friday night and was going for a record breaking pass on the show and launched a SOLID launch and got squirrely towards the end and hit the wall going probly around 160-180mph and then flipped the car and went accross the 1320 at I think 67mph at 8.something seconds. He is fine and it will be aired!
Well on to some pics,some are cell phone pics.
Fixing the axle
