Thanks 🙏
Yeah 60ft should come down.. I’m not going to get to aggressive with the launch but don’t wanna be spinning like crazy again 🤣. Also not trying to break anything before Deals Gap either 👍

Those tires should hook up for sure. Please get us some videos of your track day. I predict a low 12 second run. Brap on brother.

Actually I take that back. I think you will be in the 11s. I guess it does depend on track condition. Good track condition 11s for sure.

Absolutely!

I am out of my element a bit with drag racing, but instinctively I want to recommend easing into it on your first launch to see how good it is before going full send and breaking something

Disregard - you already have a plan to ease into launch


Have fun and stay fun

Rained out 😞

Ready to ride with the MT drag radials but rain is keeping the track closed.
Hopefully next week I’ll be able to get out there.
I did a few launches on a empty street and she hooks up like glue now . 👍

Nice run. I knew you could be in the 11s. I am sure you could get down to 11.4 of you keep going to the track.

So Deals Gap Rotary Rally is about 24 days away and today a did a brake fluid flush and put the TC-4s back on in preparation.
If you haven’t gone to DGRR it’s a blast… if you’re on the fence about going just go.. it’s a blast👍

I'm bummed, I'm like 2 hours from the dragon and even was up there during DGRR when I had my Evo...but it looks like I won't have all the planned work to my car done prior to end of April.

I guess if there was ever a welcome to owning an FD, that is it

Ah man… wish your car was ready for DGRR.
You could still go and enjoy the event…. Definitely a great time for rotary owners👍

If your car starts, runs, and drives, GO. Your car will NEVER be done. If you just need to get something back together enough to make it run, GO.

My car desperately needs a paint job and I need to do a better job tuning the PFC. So what? I'm taking it.

Every year you don't go you will regret, trust me!

And you can hang out with me and Stephen

Unfortunately I have 2 things working against me - a missing turbo system and a 1 month old daughter, haha.

If I can manage the day trip though I'll come up without the FD and try to find you guys - but learning how to parent is getting in the way of a lot of my plans right this minute
