Today has been a long and boring day at work. Tonight was pretty good tonight and I had an Awesome time. I was chilling with Roger and John at the Trunk stop on US27. The night was fading away and we decided to part ways and take the long route home. John needed gas so we needed to stop at the Sunoco on US27 and Sheridan. On the way there I lined up next to John.

No beeps no nothing John was pushing me into it. I go WOT in to boost and john takes off I believe we were rolling from a 60MPH and by the time we hit 90MPH he had 3+ cars on me. I was thinking the hole time in my head that if these guys were to squeeze it I will be lost in the back trying to play catch up.

As soon as we came up to the Sonoco a RED IS300 caught my eye. So when we drove by I notice that it had a 3" exhaust. We park up and john went to get gas. I approached the owner and asked him what you got on there. His first response was "I got a Turbo Kit on there". I asked him what company and he said he custom built it. So I got to ask a few more question and before you know it Rogers calls me and said let go. I told him were going to make some runs and He looks at me and said that Supra will woop my ***. I then said run me and his first reaction was what you got. I told him a stock twin turbo swap on stock boost.

As John, Roger, Red IS300 leave we made a U-turn to go south bound. Roger and John of course left us because we didn't know they were trying to get us to get in front of them to run. My first run with him was Unofficial I started at a 50MPH roll and was in e-shift. 3rd beep he takes me by half a car and he kept it til 90MPH. 2nd run we rolled from a 60MPH and 3rd beep I let him get into boost and then I went. He shifted before me and fell back half a car. Then I went into 3rd and left him by half a car going into 100MPH I had him on my rear bumper. the 3rd run was kinda hard to say because i didn't know what was wrong with his car he told me it was bogging out I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. the 4th run was from a 25MPH roll. 3rd beep I got into boost first and he gained on me but when he went into 2nd he fell back by half a car. him going into 3rd fell back to almost my rear bumper I ended the race at 100MPH still in 3rd.

I had a good 3 runs cool guy/driver I spoke to him very polite hopefully will see him at the NYPD meet.

In all fairness to Dinh.I had the car tuned earlier today and she was running strong.I was hoping to get a little run with my buddy Jerome.But the family Christmas tree shopping took longer then expected.So couldn't hook up with the guys til late.And Mr.Williams had other plans by then. Long story short no Jerome.So I took it out on poor Din.Sorry bro .I had to get you back for that 0-150 foot spanking you gave me,on Monday nite.

Lets see if we can get a Caravan to the PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY. I want to run my car in a 1/4 mile to see what it does.
