Imports vs. Domestics at Etown Nov. 11th

There's an event coming up this weekend at Etown. Weather looks like it's going to be good. I emailed them to make sure and we are allowed to run the ET Street or any DOT approved tire.

So far the following guys in the NE will be there and running..

Me
Roan (SpeedNYC)
Jay (Jaynyc7)
John (Boostn7)
Ernie (ErnieT)
Mohan
Romeo from tristate

Should have a pretty good rotary turnout. Anyone else attending or planning on running?

Anthony

At least you broke it testing for the event! I think you broke the cup, the end of the axle. Either way stick with the plan of fixing tomorrow and get it ready for Sunday!

Well guys, after working 3 days non-stop trying to get ready for this event. Having all types of last minute problems, from breaking axels, boost leaks, re-wiring alot of ****. The 13yr old 3pc seal 13b-rew gave out tonight while street tuning. After feeling so good on so many highway pulls the little engine that could finally gave up. The entire drive home while trying to not let it die completely at a red light, all I was thinking was "Please be the map sensor, please be the map sensor"! Well, it wasn't the map sensor. Motor finally gave up on me after tons of beating up, learning, tuning and many many miles. Can't complain to much this motors been thru hell with me. I really can't tell how much boost went thru the motor, all I know it that she felt GREAT! Especially with the MT ET Streets in the rear. Traffic on the highway caught me off guard and I lost concentration on the wideband and boost guages while driving. By the time I lifted for the traffic, I felt her ubruptly take her last healthy breathe. Surprisingly i'm not upset I actually laughed with Anthony on the phone. Sometimes things aren't ment to happen, and good things come to those who wait. I'll be back stronger then ever!!!

Rebuild and conquer i'll be ready soon!!!

Jay7...
