Thumbs up

Not bad at all, my man,

Definitely makes me feel better about my numerous 13.0s at 113 mph. Anyone who thinks that's shitty should try dragging on s02's sometime .

They tech inspected you? That sucks. You should make the drive to Norwalk, they don't inspect jack squat (Hey, I used to drive up there when I was living in Columbus, it's not a bad drive... I-71 north to 250 north to 18 west and ya can't miss it!)

Be careful with the drag racing... It gets VERY addictive! Sitting there with the 'tree counting down makes you think rash things like "I'm gonna launch this thing HARD! so what if I break, I have AAA..."

Hey K,

What rpms are you launching at? And what tire pressure are you using in them? Are you doing a burnout too?

I have my first track event tommorrow with them...(MT"s ET Streets too)
we are at 2300ft above sea level and it's really cold out
now. 13 degrees celcious. Canada...
I was running 18psi in the ET Streets. At the end of the day I had someone tell me dropping to 12 - 14psi would have help alot. Next time I guess!

I was doing burn outs. Seemed the longer the burnout I did the faster I went. 60' kept coming down and MPH kept going up!

I was dropping the clutch@7000 - 7500...rikki style...that's soooo fun!! I'm running a ACT Street/Strip Clutch w/RB lightened flywheel.

BTW: This track is called "crappy" by many seasoned 1/4 mile racers, ie not prepped or not prepped well, I couldn't tell you anything but that I had ALOT of fun! and it sure is addicting!!!!

Hmmm....with those kinda launches, I see a Mazdaspeed PPF and Kaaz LSD in your future (if you don't have them already). When your stock PPF cracks like it's made of plywood and your stock diff explodes like a pumpkin, you'll know it's time to upgrade
