I just got a new bike so i figured i would get outta it..Anyone elso planning on it?

Oh, I apologize. I was under the impression it was a thread about a local event.

Should i get you a cookie? Does your 30mpg 14 second car help you get women? Or pay the bills? Of course not. So go eat a dick with your make belief numbers. Not everyone wants to make a 2 hour drive just to go to a different track, a track that is prepped the same way as the one 2 hours away. Yea the crowd is different, and the parking situation is iffy. But YOU with your le chitebox have no actual ground to stand on trying to tell people why one track is better than another, simply ignorant statements youve probably heard other people say. Drive 10 minutes. Pay 10 bucks. Get the job done. End of story.

Why would someone lie about having a 14 second car? If anything people should laugh when you tell them that, it is what it is and it is slow but it is also stock so it doesn't bother me as much.

IMO if you don't run under 13.5 with track prep.. You do not in anyway shape or forum worry about track prep..

Of course not, this guy went out of his way to post pics of 14 second passes. 'Nuff said.

Because you claimed that I had make belief numbers. Theres your proof, again nothing special. IDK why you would think someone would make up times that slow.

Dude. It wasnt that serious. I also said NO ONE CARES.

My point was that you with your mad tyte awesome 14 second car have no room to SPECULATE on the preparation of a track.

One 14.9 sec pass dpesn't make ur car a 14 sec car....

Even a 15 second car can be a 16 second car if you can't get off the line. I've ran before and spun off the line, at Bradenton I am holding back from spinning because it will more than likely result in wheel hop and I don't have traction bars. I am betting on a 2.0 60ft on street tires next time I run which would put in me the low 14's.

go tell that to every heads up racer out there, thats the dumbest comment in here.

getting your car to the 1/4 requires you to make it work first thru the 1/8th mile!!!!!!

once u get past that first 1/8th mile, the other is for peaple that cant set up a car and
just trying to catch up.

do a little research on 1/8th mile racing b4 u bash it, it levels the playing field for any combo
makes u work to get your set up rite, not just throw a turbo on it and hope for the best on the
other end!!!!

Kinda.. When my TBSS hit 11.9 I broke 11's in my mind. But now I'm deep 11's =)

I like the 1/4 mile just because cars can play catch up. Thats usually where I get my ass handed to me, I will run side by side or ahead for the 1/8th then they rip past me because I have nothing to spool. I see nothing wrong with it, the faster you go the more fun it is. That extra 20MPH I pick up in the last half of the track makes it more fun for me just because on the streets I would get in trouble for that. Even if I had a car that was fast in the 1/8th I would much rather run the 1/4 more where the risks are greater. That's what makes it fun knowing if something goes wrong you might end up in the hospital for quite some time.

exactly!!!!! in the 1/8 all the turbo cars cant keep up!! but in the 1/4 at the 1000' is when they start to pass me..... i went to the big huge event at bradenton a 4-5 months ago n raced a supra.. i had him at the 1/8.. and the 1000' than he beat me... he trapped like 15 mph higher than i did

But thats the fun of it, I'm out there to race myself, have fun and improve my driver skill. I went 14.893 @ 95.59 then the next pass 14.737 @ 95.51 and then said that is all I wanted to do, good enough I want to make it home without a tow truck this time. So in 1 run I made a .156 improvement. First time out there with the setup I thought that was a nice advancement.
