ZACSLS1 VS Launch+Leko

ZACSLS1 · 09-20-2004, 10:42 AM

A group of us met up last night for some fun. Things were getting a little boring so Launch, Leko, and myself decided to do a 3 wide run on the good ole BIS. All of us on Street tires so a 40 roll was good. 3 honks and we go-- Leko (mark 3 Supra) falls back slightly but was definately not out of the game. Launch stayed next to me and then started to move ahead on me. I thought to myself, screw this, then I sprayed. Put a good distance on him but it was all in fun.

2nd run- The supra and I go from a dig. Supra got the hit and we both spun pretty hard. I caught him and it stayed fairly even until I sprayed. Yes, I sprayed!!!!!

Good runs. Kudos on the new mods Chris, you suprised me.

so has launch done anything new to his car rescently...i thought you always trapped higher then him before the spray?...i thought it was his 1.7 60's that got you and from a roll you would take him?

He runs consistent low 8s in the 1/8 mile and my best before the spray was an 8.3. His nickname (launch) is correct. He has to be on high bosst to beat me on a low roll but he can still do it. If I spray though, it is a done deal. I look forward to it when he and I can line up on the track and I have slicks on the back. Should be pretty fun.

Damn, sounds like some good runs. I wish I could have made it out last night. I might have to line up with launch sometime and see how I can do.

Zac if you want to post up then do it correctly. The three wide race between us ended with you no more than 1 1/2 cars ahead. This tells me that the new turbo is gonna wax that ass by more than what you consider a good distance. I agree that the NOS is helping you tremendously but I'm really starting to think that your LS1 really isn't shit without it. Especially after seeing you race the 3700 lb automatic supra and having to spray to beat him. Anyhow good victory for now. Enjoy it while it lasts.

If you would like to do it again so that you can stand corrected, I know of a couple people that would love to tape you getting your ass whooped again. I was being nice when I posted that. you have run other people that I have ran as well... They might see otherwise. If I can see you in my rearview, you are more than 1 1/2 cars back. Especially in my car. Bring it.

**psifactor** · 09-20-2004, 02:00 PM

damn, I left too early.

Glad you guys had fun the ls1 definatly sounds good but its a little loud for my taste.

Nice, Tonight we run 2 races one from a dig and one from a roll of your choice. Both runs to 120 mph. Your bring the camera.

Tuesday.. Should be interesting.

It will definately give you time to refill the bottle.

If you needed to spray to keep up with Leko then you are having problems. That Supra is far from fast. it does very nice burnout though.

T3T4240 · 09-20-2004, 07:07 PM

he sprayed to beat leko. i'm pretty sure that.

I will always enjoy waxxing that ass. Now, getting back to my car has nothing w/out the spray. I remember you solidly saying last night that my car was stout and that you were running high boost and I was walking away from you. Leko said the same thing. Funny how people change their stories when everyone else is listening. Is was quite a bit more than 1 1/2 cars.
I did not have to spray to beat leko. We can all go down to the next runday sunday and see what happens. Launch needs new drag radials and so does Leko for the track. Get that shit sqaured away and we will see what happens. At the track, Leko doesn't get the hit. We go at the same time. Traction will be less of an issue. I drifted through 3rd. My fault. My tires. Regardless, I will wax your ass into the ground any day of the week. Look at my kills, look at yours. The thing about you being close to me doesn't even add up and as I remeber correctly,,,, you said that leko was ahead of you until 3rd gear. Pretty sad considering he is automatic and weighs 3700 and you weigh a measly 2400, if that. Let the shit talking end, just be ready for the next runday Sunday buddy. As you have said it many times before,,, the track don't lie.
