Default Track tonight

Good night at Sunshine. St. Pats day made it a little less crowded. Made 8 passes between 6:30 and 8:15 when I left. TypeR I looked for you tonight to see if you could back all that talk up. Maybe next time.

Well, I was happy with what happened

8.89 @ 76.72mph on a 1.851 60ft :o

Pretty good for 186.1rwhp and 240rwtq, huh?

If you go back to your post you will see that I called you out. I figured to put up a post making that type of challenge you must have a fast car. Especially if you plan on running Zac and other ls1's that post up here. You are welcome to take a shot at me next wednesday if you are up to it.

PS. You do not have to worry about the NX avitar.

Dude, I had that fixed the next day due to the fact that I knew I could not sleep with broken parts in my car. I'm not sure about track event 7 yet as I may have a problem getting a babysitter.

Actually, I was shooting for 8.8s, but in the back of my mind was the hope I'd hit an 8.7

I had to slip the clutch a little to get it to hook up off the line, I have a pair of slicks at home that I'll be throwing on next time out, so maybe 1.7 60ft times?

Love the car show. I think you did good last night. Nice launch. If you could keep that power, you would have killed me. You took me by at least one car by the 60 foot marker. Nice meeting you though. Let me know when you want to sell that car...

As soon as I have a job to pay for a new car, I'll let you know

Your car probably has another 100-110more rwhp, so I need probably another 50rwhp to trap around 83 ... just a set of aluminum heads away

Oh yea, you should see my tires, If you saw my burnouts you'd understand why they are almost completely bald
