     Well, it was a fun night Friday at Mission Raceway. We had 4 R/Ts and
     5 R/T owners show up. Dan Bennet and his 98 DA CC, Jesse 99 FR RC,
     David Montgomery 99 CC Blk, Jay Evans 98 CC Blk (in shop) and me. I
     got there around 7:45 and the place was BUSY! Imports everywhere. I
     didn't get to make my first run until 9:30 or so. Dan was there early
     and got in a few runs at least. He was doing 15.0s, Jesse was 15.30s.
     David didn't run. It was a huge help having Dan there, as he gave me
     tips on what to do and where to go for tech., had an air guage, even a
     99 service manual. Very helpful! I didn't get a chance to stay for
     eliminations, so I only got 1 run in, my first ever. Didn't too bad
     for myself, either. Here's the timeslip info:
     
     R/T: 1.282 (oh, gee, the other guy is going. I'd better go)
     60': 2.491 (yikes!)
     330': 6.530
     1/8: 9.915
     MPH: 72.17
     1000':12.865
     
     1/4: 15.375 (woo, hoo! I was hoping for 15.50)
     MPH: 89.64
     
     Conditions were clear and about 65F. Engine was luke warm, no spare,
     roll pan, K&N 14x3, 195 stat, 1/4 tank, 23 psi rear tires, tailgate
     down, light burnout
     
     If I can hack that 60' down to where Jesse and Dan have it (around
     2.1), I'll be in 15.10 range, baby!! Not too shabby for a mostly stock
     CC! I'm happy. It only gets better from here.
     
     It was great to meet everyone and I hope to do it again soon. David
     knows of some R/T guys that like to meet, so I'll be in on that. Maybe
     we can even start an R/T club. Thanks to all who came.
