Did some car stuff a couple of weeks ago.

My phone reporting the speed............with a battery that is way beyond it's useful life.

Was sweating that the battery would last.

I wanted to "shoot" the car like on a carrier and had practiced it but they wanted the flag which I tried to make look manly but it was a challenge.

Next time, it will be marshalled to the line aircraft style with ninja moves on the batons and then shot.

Might show up more on the show.....not sure.

Nice.  You are part of the team?

Nice vid.
I have nothing nice to say about Gas Monkeys so I will say nothing at all.

I used to like gas monkey too. Stopped watching when they did what they did. They simply looked like fools after that.

The phone successfully went under surgery sunday for a new battery, mic, charge port, and headphone socket.

I'm having nightmares about little tiny screws and ribbon cables delaminating when you peel them off the case.

We're going back in december to break 300mph which we could have done if we got more than a single run.

The chute snapping off caused the brakes to be used to the point of making deep cracks in the rotors.

The gas monkey guys are more show than go.

I must have missed something... What did the gas monkey guys do that was bad?  I know their show is pretty snarky but what else did they do?

[icepac]

Being snarky beyond their skill level, perhaps?

We went out december 15th and I fought for lower boost in every gear but they turned it up!!

The run went like this...........Launch, spin wheels causing early shift, bog, spin wheels causing another early shift, bog,  spin wheels causing another early shift and a blown motor on the first run.

My program was to sneak up on 300mph using the least boost possible in order to not break traction which could have allowed many runs and higher speeds.

I think they're ready to listen now.
