What do you mean? Rock falls is the shake down test to see if any parts are ready to break...

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
I doubt I'll be making it  I'm a best man in a wedding at the end of April and his bachelor party is this weekend.
Maybe next weekend if the car is in running condition.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
I was wondering where you were! Man it was a blast. Def worth trying out if you've never done it, getting in the groove, finding which corners work in which ways, and stacking all of the elements together to try and make a perfect run is a lot of fun! Andreas kept telling me, 'today, your life changes!' and while I'm not really sure about that, I'll def be back for more
Special thanks to MATTD! For letting me borrow his car. Obviously mine was in no condition to compete or even make it legally around the course (or to it LOL). I hope to have some new wheels and continue to attend events we've discussed in this thread and keep trying new things. I'll post up some pics later, but I know Rosey, Racheal, and Anna (I can't believe this) even admitted she had some fun today!

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
I am going May 1st to the strip, should be fun. Hoping to get 11's...don't care what, just 11's. The car probably has low 11's in but not with me driving.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
^Get those low 11s and stop being modest or a bitch. You will learn a lot about shift points at the track its awesome.
Good luck.
