HE HAS MY OLD BLOWER!!!! :D

Sorry Jeremy, I have your blower. :eek: (8.64@167.8) No traction. Eric has his own stuff..or had. :D It was real interesting when we had to pull the blowers after the first run. ;)

Huh. Summers told me today that Eric had mine.

Yeah I heard about the blower inspections. Wish I could have been there.

Actually, that is the blower that we ran in the renegade car many moons ago.

Guess Summers didn't know what he was talking about. Said that my old blower had been around the block and Eric ended up with it. It was several years old. Actually he said "Eric said he had JJ's old blower". I got too excited too quickly huh?

The unit we had was an old unit that Procharger freshened up for us
and updated last summer after it ate a couple belts last summer ....

It was nothing but an off the shelf unit ....Can't wait to get the "NEW"
trick super duper unit on the car . It should be back from NASA soon.LOL

That should get us in the 7"s;)

Hey Eric, is that the blower that I had from a few years ago when I still worked there? I couldn't remember who I sold it to. Jim thought you bought it from either me or from the guy I sold it to. Those things get passed around like that girl you knew in high school.

I knew you had an old blower. You were definitely running very well. I knew that a few guys were going to get some new pieces. Didn't realize they would do an inspection though.

It was the unit that Jimmy Larocca ran on Mike Freedmans car in renegade ....The "special stick blower" LOL.....

The blower on the car now is a unit Mario Vitale lended me and it picked
up . I just slowed the car down a bit for sun. Then got my ass handed to me on the tree.....I guess 5 passes in a year doesn't help on reaction time..:rolleyes: ...Alot of practice to come ..

Well damn. Guess old Jim is just crazy. Start your car up, rev it to 9 grand or so and take a handful of bolts and chuck them in the inlet of the blower. Then give it back to Mauro. He will think it is funny.:D

Dude, I worked at Procharger for years. Jim and I are personally friends, like I see him on a weekly basis, help him with his boat, etc... Mauro has bought 2 blowers from me, and just called me last night. Just a ******* joke. Get YOUR facts correct. Thanks Jeremy Jensen

Eric, Jim called me tonight and I asked him if I could buy a cheater blower. He laughed, and I laughed.

Then he said, do you know who has your old blower. I said my F-2, he said no, your f-1R. Then he said Eric L.. Then he busted my balls more saying that you went faster than I ever thought about going with an F-1R. Said you were going to be smoking my big turbo with my old F-1R. Before you get all hot about something you may want to get your facts straight about who you are talking to.

Sorry dude . I realley don't talk to anyone . Just a little guy with old stuff having fun. Sounds like you guys have some good humor between you two ....You never know what will happen,we may have a "BIG" turbo for some of those races at the end of the year ......;) That way we get our $ worth out of the 25-2 chassis .....:D

No problem. I thought you knew all the same guys I knew. Just making some jokes. Mainly saying that you are running really well. If you got the blower from Jimmy and Mike, then it was probably one that I shipped to them when I still worked there and helped Jimmy out. Good luck this year.

Some of those older blowers worked really well, especially after they got some runs on them. Look at Trace's old blower. The bearings and gears start loosening up and taking less power. Someone may want to find a P600B from 1995 and try it. It should be nice and loose by now. Not with my car, probably with a few other guys from here. One guy bought my old motor and turbo kit, but I don't know if he can have his car done by then. I assume you plan on going?

I don't really see what all the fuss is about....Dave Hopper ran a .20 in qualifying. We're not chasing records, we just want to be competitive and try to win races,and have some fun. Anything else is a bonus. We worked our nuts off this winter just like everyone else.....just my opinion. Hope to see everyone in Georgia for some boiled peanuts ;)

There isn't a fuss. Eric ran really well. Jim said he had my old blower. So.... I made a joke that the blower was the reason he ran so well. It was a JOKE. That is the reason for the stupid ass big green grin guy at the end of the sentence. Matt, didn't you buy a blower from me? The joke about Mauro is because he and I buy stuff from each other. I knew he would read this and laugh.

Matt, didn't you buy a blower from me?

Nope, still running an SQ on my street car until ATI comes out with a passenger side mount unit :D Must have me confused with another skinny white kid. :D
