Whats your 2012 goal's?

I have been quite on here lately. Just needed a break. Ordered some new clutch disk's today, started the car for the first time in 2 months and cleaned it up. Not making any major changes so my goal is still to hit the 9's. I should mention this will be the 4th season on this motor unopened. I plan to race in 5 events this year and maybe hit one up north that Anthony mentioned.

Who is chasing what?

Hopefully a fat tax return will get me much closer to my goal. I go pick up a key piece to the puzzle this weekend I am talking with a good friend about painting the car the car this winter and hopefully get it down the track a few times this year. I don't plan on pushing it beyond low boost till maybe MIR. I just want to go out and have some fun with friends!

Mu goal is to actually work on my car. I did begin stripping it over the last few weeks. When I have time, this week or maybe next, I'll pick up the 4-link back-half kit and go to work on that. Figure if I can get the front and rear suspension together this year I'll be happy.

Have the exterior and interior completed on my all motor car. And if I get lucky, the front and rear suspension done too... Or at least finish the rear end work.

Paint my Rx3 and maybe install a 20b it in.... If no 20b then throw in that REW semi pp motor that's been on the shelf since Jesus was a baby. Seeing that I'm an inconsistent person, the Rx3 will probably stay there and I would put my time into another piece of junk

my goal is to get a few bugs worked outta my car (install line loc, rebuild throw out bearing, and get my trailing 2 spark working again) and turn the boost up a little, hopefully by the end of the season get a 9.6x out of it..

That means you have to actually bring your car to the track and race over sitting in the stands! :LOL:
