It would probably just result in guys pushing the limits and blowing their ****. Its not a pissing match, we are RX-7 owners, not Supra HP queens....

No im still here ill let you know when im gone!
Ive been busy but have been feeling worn out heart trouble, back problems, and now kidney problems only thing worse than getting old is the cure!
Ive been helping some local fourm with events and have not been racing myself just trying to help the young punks.

But there is a supra midwest meet ive been invited to and may run and try to lower the time slip or break something. I have not changed a thing i will just push it a little harder and see if it has more in it.

Thanks for the concern and keep up the good racing.

You mean to tell me that I'm the only idiot with a rotor watch?? How much is this "collectors item" worth?? I'm thinking about throwing mine on Ebay.

I figured that I would sell it to someone who would appreciate it because I don't plan on wearing it :-(
I just saw an older rotor watch sold on ebay for $250+, so do you think I can get $300 for it?

Damn, the drag race section is dead lately. I miss the good old days where this place was hopping. What is everyone doing? Is anyone working on their cars?

Ive been out there Allen trying to get a dam clean pass. Last week I finally got out there testing the new rear end everything seemed to be going good, until I turned the boost up and the clutch wouldnt hold for its life. So that day was ended early. Fixed the clutch a few days later hit the track this weekend during a big domestic race event me being the only import there with about 100 racecars lol.. I was only given 3 passes so i tried to make them count. Had 11-12psi tire pressure which made me bog at the start so that pass was wasted. Second pass I take off a little harder doesnt bog as much but i have to let up top of 3rd and 4th cause i was heading for the wall because of the low tire pressure. 2nd pass wasted. So only one more pass left I put 20psi in the tires just to get it down the track i didnt care if i spun I just wanted a semi clean pass for once to get some info on the car.

Here was my 3rd pass and then I had to leave.
Only on my 620hp setting. 1.7 60' only leaving at 6500.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC_qG...e=channel_page

that was my first pass finally getting it down the track without any major issues.

Ill be going to ATCO on Sat to try again this time leaving at 7500rpm.. Once I get the 60's dailed in I'll turn the boost up even more and she what shes got.

I agree forum has been very boring so i figured I would post a video.
