Well I had my first adjustment today. It wasn't too bad. My teeth have moved some, which is a plus! It was kind of painful for the adjustment but only because they had to pry open the little doors to open the brackets to get to the wires, and my teeth were already a little sore and the prying didn't feel good at all. It was bearable though. They changed the wire from a .013 to .014, and made my coil bigger. Only my front teeth are a little sore but they usually are. Sides don't hurt too bad right now.

Its weird seeing a new shape of the wires after being used to the shape from the old wire for the past 5-6 weeks.

Well I was comparing pictures and I can see some movement already. The bottom teeth have went from standing like 3 people kind of sideways to a little more in line, and the gap in my front teeth is closing. I'll upload them either later or tomorrow.

So here's the picture of some movement. Compared to the pics on the 1st page, I can see some movement already.

Well my little outsider is actually moving up into a spot. All of the teeth are moving. 3 months in and I can finally notice a good bit of change with my eyes.

BTW Ken, somehow I missed your post in April. I'm a Youngstown person, meaning.......... GO BROWNS!!!!

I should definitely be there. My 3 days off happen to fall on that weekend, I am off the 25, 26, and 27th. The 25th is taken up though. I have to get my wires changed around noon, run a few places, then my best friends bday is that evening. We are surprising him so he doesn't know about it. But the Saturday and Sunday are open, one of those days I definitely was going to run to Quaker since I didn't get to hit up the SuperNats last year.

Reason I also was aiming for Saturday night is because of the "largest pyro show allowed under Ohio law". Something that interests the woman! Supernats always makes things crowded but I am pretty sure that Sunday will be a nuthouse with that chick and Bret Hart being there.

Got the wires changed today, up to a .018 I believe. Of course, an hour after I get home, I took a drink of Mountain Dew and heard a little pop. I thought it was a wire or something moving but I saw in the mirror when getting ready to brush my teeth that a bracket was loose. Its attached to the wire still, but the glue must have came off. It is on a tooth though that isn't a real tooth, its on a tooth that is a crown so maybe that has something to do with it. So I get to go back Monday or Tuesday to get the bracket re glued back on. Will make for a fun day since my rotation next week for work is Monday-Saturday, and I work 3-11 with over a 50 mile drive one way to work.

Yeah there is a chance of rain tomorrow. Also, it will be harder to make runs tomorrow anyway. Its supposed to be like 95 and humid as hell.

I'd rather make test runs anyday anyway so can't blame ya there!

Nice!! I'd definitely put it in your cars tailpipe! lol. I also have a 7 second car......0-60 that is

And no problem!!! haha.

Yeah I made it Saturday, it was insanely busy, at least State Street was. Took me 2 hours to get from the track back to Columbiana(13 miles).

Speaking of fast cars, I sesame you not, I saw a 9 second Ford Ranger at the track. He called it the Rocket Ranger haha. There were also a few of the typical ricers with the fart cans who couldn't even chirp their tires. Was awesome seeing them get raped by American muscle.
