Here's an idea... Kathy, unless you signed a non-disclosure agreement or something why don't you come on here and tell us what they took out of the episodes... You said most of the "bartering" was taken out... Was there anything worth hearing? Any fist fights not shown ?!?! lol...

Kathy,

Don't worry about that site! They obviously have no clue about your experience.

Stick around here and I think you will find a much nicer group of people and you will have a lot more fun! We like talking about real racing over here!

I am sorry to hear about your grandpa. I ditto Teri's sentiments.

Re: Tommy and Melanie's new TV show "King of the Strip": first episode this Sunday

Thanks guys....I should have never posted anything there and wouldn't have if it was just the usual "sticks and stones" stuff.

I googled "King of the Strip Fisher".....and found the post about the one guy I ran looking up my lic plate! HUH!?!? I guess I should never let myself get run over by a "garbage truck" like I did. I don't like to be called a liar, (I'm many things ....but that I'm not) and well I was I guess I was just in the wrong state of mind after what took place yesterday (funeral).



Note to self.........in the future, don't google when you're in a funky mood...............

Why don't they just get some experienced racers to run the cars to see what time they will turn. Then turn it over the to owners(drivers) and base the headstart on what the cars should run. That way it will leave out all the sandbagging and would focus on what the best driver not sandbagger.
Also if you can cut a .5xx light in a 14 sec. street car, deep staged, instant green, you should be making money reading minds (or send me the winning lottery numbers).
Sorry to hear about your Grandpa Kathy, will deep you in my prayers.

Thanks Armand...it's one of those things you know is going to happen someday...but I still couldn't prepare myself!!






That's NOT a bad idea Armand...really, kind of sounds fun!


Well....I do think you mean...."pro" racers or "big name" racers though, 'cause I am very experienced racing along with several others on the show. Just not so much with that car...'cause I had never driven it before. I run SC/QR dragsters week in and week out and licensed to go even faster!

I was running my car all out...just had one pooooopy ET when I got up on the r's a little much and spun REAL bad. Show #2 (14.22 oops what a dummy) I'm used to hammering down...guess I wouldn't make a good alcohol FC or dragster driver, eh? (sorry...left over from my trip up north!! )

I think my other times for that episode were 13.60 (he says I hit my brakes....yeah right!), 13.66 going in deep then a 13.61 & a 13.62 also deep, my only trick. Of course I didn't know what I ran until I saw the show....and was surprised how consistant I was for spinning each time.

I think I only cut a .5XX light once...first time I went in deep. One pass I had a .646 and he had a .784......maybe that was on purpose, ya just never know. By cutting a BAD light...it would give him more to neogotiate with.

OK...enough about that....we still haven't watched Seattle yet...and Kevin just started it on the DVR.....I'm missing it! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!


PS...If I can come up with some good lotto numbers...I promise I will share with the fellow 'maters! As long as we spend it on or so we can go drag racing!!! WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Thanks Jay.....he was a good man! Even thought I didn't get to see him as much as I would have liked to over the last several years.........I will certainly miss him!!

Kathy, I am sorry to hear about your loss. It hurts and takes time. I lost mine a year & half ago and is sometimes still hard, but good memories and family really helps.

The picture is really great and I bet you have tons of good memories.

I have not read but the first few posts on this thread, but I caught the show by accident today.

Jeez Louise, it was really truly bad.

I support TJ and Mel, but the show is bad.

Wow Kathy... I thought you were good on the show, but that interview makes you look great! You should look into working for ESPN... You have a TV personality... You seem so excited just to talk... Couldn't help but laugh at the "pinch" of emotional...

Do you plan on doing a lot of 1320 stuff?
