my trip to the drag strip today...

well lets say it started off great all of the guys were meeting at the SHELL gas station we always go to on fridays.... well we decide 3:30 is a good time to meet and leave well we didnt leave till 5:25 <waiting on random people>........... so then the strip is about 45mins away so we begin our drive wel traffic is backed up in conway <about 25 minutes from where we left> i mean this traffic was at a dead stop and when you at the back of the pack<me> and cant see ahead of any one and they all go from 75-85mph to zero mad fast because of they're huge twin cam rotors , and my base model del sol rotors <plus no ABS > i lock them up for about 25 feet and slide off the side of the road........... grass that i slid into was level witht he road so no damage but still scary as hell............. ok so we sit in traffic for about 25 mins then we get moving again and we get moving fast.........BTW lemm elist the group of cars i was cruiseing with
99 civic SI all teh blot ons, NX 100 shot
97 GSR integra fully built motor, MSD 6al, vafc, 150 shot of NX
99 Z28 stock BTW these thigns run 11.0 stock in the 1000ft
2000 z28 stock
so yea they all leave me behind but hey its cool seeing as im the brains of the group

well about 15minutesfrom the strip my car starts to miss
i was like WTF????????????? so i pull over and see that cyl 4 plug wire is about 2 inches out so i think "ah fluke occorance <sp>?"
so i slap her back in and go about my way then about 50 feet after that it did again <BTW if any of you kno what causes this hit me up> so i baby it to the next exit and get off call one of the z28 guys to come pick me up and we can deal with it later... go to the track wish i had my car laugh at the slow neon and the slow neon srt-4
and at the guy with the built GSR i was with <he went 12.41 all motor then went 12.29 with the 150 shot> hmmm somethigns not rite kinda like they put oxygen in his no2 tank instead of no2>??????????? wes till dont know whats up

so i get tired of the track seeing as i dont have my ride and find a guy to take me up the road to begin to try and figure out whats up.........yank the cyl4 plug its butter looks just like when it went in........... cealn all the shit off the wire......... then slap it back in well i decide i will start on the 45 min drive home and if it acts up i will get off and do the back way baby style till ican get to my shop............. well it makes it all the way home up until my street and then misfires again....... so i slaped on my shoes walked to the corner store grabbed a 12 pack and now im gettin hammerd..................
any hooo
talk at you fools later

That's pretty shitty! Sounds like a long and kind of frusterating day! You ever heard the saying 'If it aint one thing it's another!' That's what your day sounds like!
Getting hammered will make you feel better though, till you sober up and still have to fix your damn ride! lol
