Default Enthalpy vs. URFUCT .... The saga

Preface to the story: This is what car life is all about. making friends, racing, talking smack, having a good time.

Despite what others thought URFUCT had never run on the bottle in any previous contests. It was installed and tuned on friday/saturday.

All i can say is that these 2 cars are DAMN close!! URFUCT gets out of the hole on me, and i pull on the top a bit. Heres the night long saga. We spent alot of time trying to dodge the ricers, and get some clean runs in.

Run 1 - URFUCT gets 1 car jump at start, Enthalpy reals this in to 1/2 car...then hits speed limiter (not expecting to run...hadn't disconnected yet)

Run 2 - Enthalpy spins badly, URFUCT takes it by just over a car.

Run 3 - URFUCT has nitrous troubles, Enthalpy throws the wastegate dump tube off in a shower of sparks @ 1/8 mile mark, Enthalpy wins.

Run 4 - Enthalpy spins bad again, and is overheating (3 runs in a row), URFUCT wins by 1 car

Run 5 - More nitrous troubles for URFUCT, we lift @ 1/8 mile. Enthalpy wins.

Run 6 - Enthalpy gets 1/2 car jump, takes the win by just over a car. URFUCT was having clutch issues however (what's that smell??)



URFUCT...feel free to chime in if you saw things any different. but that's how i seem to remember it. Final score is 3 to 3 and the cops showed so we all went home. both of us with problems to fix and modifications to make!! So I have a sinking feeling we will run again in a few weeks!!


As a side note...both URFUCT and Enthalpy killed the Tea & Crumpets brothers NSX back to back from a roll on a bridge!!!
