MidWest281 03-16-2013 06:29 PM

Lol. Yeah you got me. I deliberately sent my wife into labor to avoid a race with our slow turds. Lol gimme a break.

We just got home from the hospital about two hours ago. We are all exhausted from no sleep the last few days. Wife is recovering but in bed still. So i need to be here to help out.

I do, but I'm not going to leave him with my girlfriend's parents. Just wouldn't feel right to bestow him upon them just so I can go.

Plus I've only had him 2 full days, 1 of which I was barely with him. Need some time to hang out with him and get him used to me.

Sweet... If you need a tour guide I have plenty of turns about 1.5hrs sw of Abilene. Only problem with that is the long flat track out there..

It's a blast. The country cruises are so much more fun than drag racing. Nothing like a beautiful day and some backroads twisties fun!

I've got a whole route mapped out complete with directions for everyone. It's over 100 miles of cruising through fun hills, twists and turns. It can be done as slow or fast as the drivers skill set allows.

I've done this before with another group and we usually divided it up between the "cruisers" and the "fast" group. The cruisers group is usually made up of the people who just want to take their time and enjoy the drive, or people who don't really have a fast car, or have their kids along etc.

The fast group is for the driver who wants to challenge themselves with the turns. There are stretches of this route where very high speeds are very achieveable.

It's a route between McKinney and Sherman. Starts at TrueStreet Motorsports and then ends right off of 75 in Sherman where we stop for lunch. After lunch, drivers can elect to jump on 75 south to take a straight shot home, or turn around and go do the route again in reverse order. :)

Damn I think that's two tanks of gas for my beater, hopefully with the new tune she will get better mileage.

GrabberMatt 03-17-2013 02:12 PM

I'd love to go on a cruise - that's much better than standing around in the parking lot. I went last night and I met a few guys that were friendly in talkng about their cars, but for the most part, mehh..

You will enjoy the cruise a lot in your vert. It's a lot of fun and we've got perfect temps right now for it.

Pepperinyoureye 03-17-2013 03:10 PM

Missed this meet too. I'd definitely be down for a spirited cruise soon.

Wanted to make it, but St. Paddy wouldn't let me.

STROKD 03-17-2013 08:32 PM

Went to the driving range and dinner with an old friend instead. Didnt want to feel out of place in a parking lot full of Fords.

GrabberMatt 03-17-2013 09:06 PM

You woulda been alright, my friend brought his GTO and coulda used some GM backup :death:

You should go play an actual course so that when you spend all that time in the sandtraps you would have a good exuse for all that sand in your vagina.

I havent played often (been 5 years since I swung a club at Top Golf), but Id say Ive been in maybe 10 traps in my life, and that's only because I hit the ball too far and didnt know they were there. ;)

My problem is pitching it a short distance, I either hit it too soft and it goes 20 feet or too hard and it flies over the green. That is the main thing I am working on currently.

Btw I played Iron Horse last Friday and yesterday... so I guess I dont have any sand excuses.:Boo:

That comes with consistant practice. The problem most hobby golfers have is the lack of consistancy in their swing lacking the basic mechanics. It's the same thing with bowlers too. Constantly always blaming something other than the basics and it almost always comes back to the timing in the swing.

Nope, mine is just practice... Cant be good at something you do twice a decade. My swing is consistent for the most part, my problem is all in finesse... I like to hit the ball far, not good at the 20 yard stuff. I am looking for a lob wedge now which will allow me to basically kill the ball with my normal swing, and have it go almost straight up and stop on the green like a piece of hail hitting the ground (or spin back a few feet). My irons are old and shitty and my pitching wedge is like a 45% angle so being able to get the ball to stop from a short distance is pro level difficult. I have had much better success using my dad's clubs for the short distance stuff, but they are in Idaho now and not easily accessible.
