I heard Bizi is now a radical Muslim and doesn't race anymore. That was said by the promoter Mike Ferrara so I don't know if it's true. I'm always slower at this track because the track is uphill and air is bad. I did manage a. 10.1 at 128.8mph

I won all motor pro again this weekend at IFO. That's three in a row! Tearing these Hondas up lol. The day started with gale force winds that shut track down to 1/8th mile. I qualified first with a 6.40. Later in the event the wind settled down and they opened up the semis and finals to quarter mile. I won the event with a 10.15 to a 10.19! Exciting final race! I also hung the car in the bumper twice! Not good for times but the crowd loved it. Here are some pics. Vids to follow. Got some new things in the works for next year so stay tuned.

You got a feel for the car quite well. I tell everyone its a extrodinary feeling when you lift the wheels off the ground at the track. I dont have a clutchless tranny in my starlet so when I land the wheelie, then that's when I shift. But next year where going to be putting a bigger wheelie bar for tunabilty and help keep the front end more planted.

Yeah, the first time i pulled the wheels off I let out lol. Now I'm so used to it I don't let out and shift into second gear before it comes down- this keeps it from slamming to the ground. But I have been trying not to wheelie because it hurts times. It's a fine line from spinning a little and hooking up too much. Without wheelie bars it's a lot harder. I can put wheelie bars and raise my launch rpm and easily pick up .2-.3 seconds but I'm not allowed to run wheelie bars in my class.

Here is video of finals. Notice a little wheel spin, small wheelie and second gear wheelie= 1.34 60ft vs 1.49 60 ft from big wheelie launch. That makes the top end from a 10.4 to a 10.1. Your 60ft is very important!
Oh yeah didn't have time to edit so fast forward to 1:30
