how many passes, i dunno, thousands, and not just as a time shot hero like you either. gone many rounds, on many different tracks, in many different cars.

need any other explanations or maybe smaller words?

You can make all the excuses you want about your driving, but the fact of the matter is that your first time out in your z28 was definitely FTL. If your such a pro then you would have dropped your tire pressure before even making your first pass instead of running 40 psi in street tires and leaving the traction control on...come on Tim, that's day 1 stuff. Trust me I know that car has more in it, just not with your current driving skill.

No need to preach to me about going rounds. The only racing I did with the T/A back home was bracket racing to include a 5th place finish out of 125 street cars at Mid America Raceway in Missouri(now closed), a bi run for the best reaction time at that event, and a 2nd place finish out of 25 dragsters running 7.50-10.3. Unless all those "thousands" of passes were done in cars owned by you, then it doesn't mean squat to me.

The only recent racing you've done was done in your z28 and that bench your sitting on right now.
