Sounds like the old days, Light pro fwd cars againts full bodied mazdas, Complaining will not help or change anything, I been there, done that at the peak of so-cal drag racing. Maybe try going to seven stock and talk to the hundreds of turbo, ported engines mazdas to show up and race next time.

Yeah it was nice seeing and running into you all...Turns out i destroyed the tranny...I'm currently looking for turbo II tranny but won't buy one till i get the rear end in there first...Manny already warned me that if i got the car running with no rear end he was personally going to kick my *** lol...
As far as the weight goes yeah I lost a lot of weight...I went from 320lbs in total mass weight benching pressing 450lbs leg pressing 1300lbs...all the weigh down to 190lbs, barely able to bench press 135lbs...But I'm happier and I look a lot better...I just don't talk about it or bring it up everywhere i go...
As for the racing that day, somebody summed it all up, it was hot as ******* donkey ***** out there...between manny, my bro who couldn't put his ******* beer down to help us for nothing in the world, and myself we put a lot of work into the car all month...But it was fun, and im glad the tranny broke...pushed me to get my rear done!!!
To be honest i was more thrilled and stoked about getting my very first IDRC stickers placed on my car!!!! believe it or not...thats just me

450 bench and 1300 leg press! Damn, that's some good weight for a fat ***. It's wierd that you lost all your strength though when you lost the wieght. I know when you lose fat, you lose a little muscle but I didn't think that much. You look good either way, congrats. Now get that car ready for BOTI on November 21. Oh, and I will be selling my TII transmission soon and it is already shortened so that it will fit your first gen like a glove. Hit me up.
Looking forward to November 21. Hope to see you there. Keep us posted.

Well, there's many all motor records out there, but the one I am after is the stock chassis record and is currently held by the all motor king Jesus Padilla with a 9.8.
Yep, November 21. Battle of the Import finals at Fontana.
Guys, we all have to start attending these races. If low attendances to these races keep hapening they will eventually close down for good. I always hear guys whinning about how there's no drag racing down here in California. Well, part of the reason is because no one is attending. No attendance, no money coming in= events closing down. If you're in it for the money, then your in the wrong game. There's no way your going to get rich drag racing at events were first place is 500 bucks and you have 20-30k+ invested in your cars. Come and race because you love to race and hang with friends and family. That's what it's really all about.
