Hey pete..... dunno man... I used to have issues with island and melissa was nice to me and made me change my ways. I'll go back to island, some day.

Maybe you might want to call/ email them just as an fyi?

Sorry I couldn't make it. I was sitting at work contemplating going and as soon as I was about to leave it opened up raining so I said **** it. I know alot of people saying it wasn't going to rain but I was very hesitent to drive out there.

Jew, I must say you did a great job out there for your first time out there. I expect by nationals that you are in the low 13's, if not 12's. I think you need to go to the Weight Nazi (no pun intended) School of Racing for a little Weight Loss 101.

But the question is were you parking behine my trailer ?? I am the first to say he should not be riding in the pits. But I have to say they were not that bad to be treated that bad.

*I was not at the meet so I cannot really say for sure* no one can tell you how to feel, or whether or not to come back, but you have to remember Kids/Dogs/anyone that is not paying attention or just not aware of their surroundings can potentially be hurt at an event like this. Cars moving about, small children or animals that cannot be seen, bikes that are left unattended can to damage to vehicles and people. I do not know what happened, but I have seen stuff like this happen at car shows and Atco. I would hate to have that post that someone or an animal got injured at a meet like that. I have gone to shows that kids who dont mean anything by it, try to open the doors to cars, or lean on cars to look in and have stuff on their hands, or what not. Ya know I am not one to care, Ice cream/candy/whatever can be washed off my car but other people flip a friggen ****! I enjoy kids, have no problem with them but damage to cars, and even the kids are possible. When ya run an establishment like a track, you gotta be on your alert because someone can be hurt at any time and with the way the system is these days the lawyers will have a field day and shut that place down in a heartbeat because everyone is so friggen money hungry and lawsuit happy. Like I said I cannot say what exactly happened but I have seen stuff like this before and sometimes its okay but other times it can cause big problems. I sure hope you are not turned away from NJFBOA because we are really a good group of people overall, but **** happens and if you are not happy I am sorry. I would hope to see you/your car/your family at other meets some day.

update on shanes car. there seems to be something up with the throttle cable, or the TV cable...i forget what TV stands for but i think its the cable that tells the trans when to shift? yes no? that would explain the early shifting

Thanks man, i had a blast and yes, next time.. she's gonna strip down a bit before i hit the track. Hopefully by then ill have my finished exhaust and with the removed weight ill be in the 12's.. and actually al, hit me up on AIM sometime cause i got a question about my car.. the brakes actually.

p.s thanks melissa and everyone else who made this meet happen.. im always up for another round of this type of fun.

yeah the bushing took a **** today, i had almost no power. right now the throttle is being held in by a ziptie...till i can get the part and adjust my TV or throttle cable (whatever it is).

and by "I" i mean me and matt :rofl:

Or maybe just the people who blame the world instead of themselves. The fact of the matter is its not his track its melissas familys' and guess what, if they dont like what you're doing then they can tell you to stop because its theirs. its weird how no one else had problems that day - just him cuz his kid and dog were running around. i mean if staff was so horrible why didnt anyone else complain about the treatment? or maybe they just singled you out, wait that must be it!

Enough of this conversation.. I'll take care of it privately.
