Default got busted tonight

ha, just messin.

we did kind of get busted, everyone was park at one of our spots, a couple of races going on but mostly people just standing around. the cops swarm in and block about 15 of us in.

they didn't really do much, just made sure none of us were wanted. my bottle was on and i had to get the valve shut without them catching me. about the time they were leting us go a news truck pulls up and they whip out a camera.

prety exciting town huh, i would think at 2am on a saturday there would be some serious crime to worry about. anyways, they let us go, didn't get any good races in but that is just as well, my motor completly stops reving at 5200rpm, just stops accelerating. prety sure those valve springs are the culpret. hope to have that fixed soon.

What springs are on there now?

I am currently using 918s and I have my doubts with them

My T/A had a similar problem, never could get it to make power beyond 5500rpm. Hense my poor ET

I don't know about there but, around here it is.

Jim - I told you you need a "toolbox" in the back. That would make it even more sleeper like.

i am not 100% sure but most people seem to agree if the bottle is closed you wont get a ticket. if it is open you might.

i believe the law saws it is ilegal to use nitrous but not have.

Did they check your bottle to see if it was open?
