Women are really hard to understand…

I like this girl – a lot. I think things are going well but she isn’t very communicative (not verbally anyway, if you get what I mean)….

Well I’m home and it’s late – I really should be in bed as I have a big day tomorrow.

Had a lot of fun today – ran a best time of something like 12.6 seconds down the quarter although I’d have to grab the timeslip out of the car to get exact ET and terminal speed. The slicks hook up really well! The last few runs I discovered that you could rev it to around 5500 RPM and dump the clutch, and still launch with very little wheelspin at all.

I discovered that the ute squats. A lot. I was running with the tailgate down and quite a few people commented that it almost banged on the ground when I launched it and even on shifts into 2nd. I didn’t bang it, but it has a lot of stone chips now – next time I’ll just unbolt the damn thing.

So yeah – I’m disappointed I didn’t run an 11 (as that’s what the head/cam was supposed to achieve) but I ran a PB and boy, was it fun! The engine feels so much stronger and I pulled off a couple of great burnouts . There’s definitely a faster time in it if I can get my act together and maybe set the suspension up right.

Tomorrow I have to wash it and clean the house a bit before my female visitor drops in for a visit – I can’t wait 😉
