Papa Smurf -John_P (part II)

I just had to bring this over here,,,,, ;D Keep in mind that Smurf has a 6-spd and John_P has an auto

JUST IN,....RESULTS OF DRAG RACE BETWEEN
"GRANDPA" PAPA SMURF AND John_P:

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got home from "Coastal Plains Dragway", Jacksonville, N.C. Chris and I "lined up" tonight and below are the "results" right off the time slips from the dragstrip. See for yourself how it all went ;D (Chris was in the left lane and I was in the right lane, just as I promised so I wouldn't "smoke" Chris out!)

GRANDPA "PAPA SMURF" John_P

.673---------------- Reaction ------ .821
2.751 --------------- 60 ft. --------1.943
7.691 -------------- 330 ft. -------- 5.686
11.484-------------- 1/8 ET ---------8.753
66.86--------------- 1/8 MPH -------80.37
17.358-------------- 1/4 ET -------- 13.756
81.38--------------- 1/4 MPH -------98.05
Chris: I had a GREAT time tonight and enjoyed our
"race" buddy!! Thanks!

,,,,,, Well I'm proud of you Chris, ;D
You didn't back down or make excuses, and you even let Leigh beat you, so she wouldn't be all upset and sad. (sorry Leigh,,,, I'm trying to mend his self esteem) However, I knew you didn't stand a chance against John_P,,,,, : (Jeeze,,,, what were you thinking?) ??? But, the point is, you did your best and "hey,,,,, your reaction time was better than his",,, (was John wiping figerprints off the paint when the light turned green?) Nice times John! ;D
OK,,,,,,,,, Now for Part II,,,,,,,,,,,
I think that in all fairness,,,,, since Chris took on John's "Red Rocket" on John's playground,,,,,,,,,, John_P should take on the "Smurf Mobile" at one of "Grampa's" other playgrounds. (You know Chris,,,,, the kind with dirt and a sled) Both trucks are 4 wheel drive aren't they? ;D This would give Papa Smurf a chance to practice his favorite kind of shifting and John_P could practice his holeshots a little!

So,,,,,,,, How about it guys??
BTW,,,,,,,, Way to go Leigh! ;D ,,,,,,,, I'll bet you had the biggest grin on your face when you crossed that finish line!

Re:Papa Smurf -John_P (part II)

That was so Cool.<br>John and I where standing race track side thinking about how you would responde. Dennis that was To Cool. <br> I could not ever find a better person to call my friend than John_P. I had the most fun last night as I have had in the last two years. Just being able to watch the way my wife acts at the race track with her 3500 4X4 and listening to people say things like that big ole truck ain't supose to go that fast and stuff like that. <br>That is why I am going to be learning as much as I can to make her truck go faster. I like slower and will pull anything I can hook up to. I did my best to shift as fast as I could. Those slouch boxes had me off the line. I would sit there listening to them building there boost up. Me I left the line at about 1000 rpm. It was a great time, I really enjoyed it.<br>John-P beat a Mustang pretty bad and then Johner beat another one. It was a great night at the race track.<br><br>I look at it this way I had my best friends beat me at the race track. John_P and my wife Leigh Ann<br>Take care<br>See Ya<br>Chris
