Armdrop Live
Well, I went to armdrop live and had a pretty good time. The track prep was amazing. I bogged launching at 5500 with a tomahawk T-3 At 18psi. I ran 6.60's with 1.6 60fts which isn't too great, but at altitude I guess isn't that bad. I ended up making the 6.60 field for the armdrop competition. First round I drew a 66 comet with a 440 windsor that pulled me off the line, but I caught him by the 330ft. The second round I drew a little nazi rocket (vw rabbit) that was freakin built. I completely annhialated it. it was ridiculous. The third round (semi finals) I drew a busa that had no business running in our class, but he spun on both of his time trials and slipped through the cracks. He was a black gen1, backcut tranny, air shifter, 8" over, geared, slammed, strapped, full yosh oval, and pc3 on a shinko usoft. He pulled me off the line, but I started catching him until I shifted to second and my bike pulled the front wheel about 2.5 feet off the ground. I fought it back down, and if I would have had 15 more feet I would have won, but it was so close that neither of us knew who got the win light. He ended up winning the class and the 750 dollars, but will have to live with the fact that he almost got beaten by a stock piped 14 lol. All in all it was a good night and some great racing. Rich turned out to be a really cool guy that did nothing but talk about how crazy we were to be racing bikes.

I had a great time and made friends with someone who is going to teach me a lot over the next year. Russ Collins Jr. Really liked my bike, and told me that if I wanted to, I could load up with his team and race MDRA next year. Oh yeah, I got the chance to do some roll ons with my friend justin's 08 busa on the way home. 1st gear roll on from 4k we ran to the middle of 4th gear, and my stock piped no flies 07 pulled him by about 5ft in every gear. He is the same weight as me and same skill level. His bike has a full yosh and pc3 on it. He was amazed that my bike ran like it did.

you'll murder everyone i'm sure... if it hadn't been for that one bike sneaking into our class i would have had it locked down. When they come to town, ask rich if he saw a stock white 14 in san diego. He was all about my bike talking shit about how it was stock and beating everyone lol.

Because he doesn't have the skill to operate a bike. He's a douche.
