The weather was so good and so many cool people came out that I was not even too depressed that I broke without being able to run even once. I want to thank everyone for showing up and running their cars, and Crispeed for the clutch and all the help, and everyone that helped with the trailer. Thanks Phil for letting me borrow money to tech the truck and make 2 good runs. The people that I saw running good were:
Directfreak (12.2 and more low 12s taking it easy and trapping 127 mph !!!)
Oscar - red FD ( 12.4 @ 114 ) that was a sweet run keep it up
leatherface - turbo miata 13.5 ! and smoked a Cobra I think
Everyone else ran decent and it was really cool having you all there. I look forward to next time and these are the type of events that really count, separating the men from well...ricers

We all know you pretty much are somebody else hiding under another screen name anyway.
As for my times, - I was branded as "No 11s" by Moroso, or I would get kicked out.
As for my weight, - last time I checked, 100lbs = one tenth in the 1/4, so I am not as worried about it. I got more than enough power to wipe the floor of any car you supposedly own.

good races guys. Really need to see the vid.
Pepe I use to think the same way then I realized as freak said weight dosen't affect ets that much, driver ability does. I've seen a 170lb dude take a rotary prwd sprinter to 8.5s in the 1/8th and nothing he did made it ran quicker. Then a close to 300lb dude jumped in the car and it immediately ran 8.1.
Good goin guys.

Eventually I'll be able to participate instead of watching.

Direct Freak's(Alex) performance was pretty good for his 1st time in a long while going down the 1/4. His 60ft's were all in the 2.2's and 2.3's showing that there's a lot left 'ET' wise in his car. Considering that he was trying to put down 492 rwhp on 225/50/15's he didn't do too bad at all. His 127, 128 and 126 mph is showing the actual horsepower especialy since the weight, driver+car was at 3100lbs.

As far as the video is concerned I cannot seem to upload it to my computer (it is acting like my Z06 vid, my pc is full of viruses). I am waiting on a new computer, hopefully in a few weeks I can upload it. Yesterday we went back to Moroso for midnight madness. My Wife ran the 1/4 mile for the first time ever, 14.3 @ 95 and smoking a motor swapped full bolt on hatch civic. Then I got in the Syclone and ran four high 13s with a best of 13.70 @ 95. I missed my RX-7 buddies even though I was in a stock pick-up. The weather was just as good as Friday, but the lines we insanely long. I smoked a couple of boosted SRT-4s. Don't ever go to MM, the crowd sucks.

You read my mind. I want to upload my vids. I will give you my footage as we did before and you can use it for your movie and also maybe burn it for me in another format so I can use them on my PC. Currently they are on finalized Sony miniDVDs that play in my DVD player and Playstation but my PC freezes uploading them so I cannot edit. Thanks, I'll call you later.

WHO ARE YOU? What's your REAL NAME?
WHO HAS MET YOU IN PERSON? You supposedly attended some meets.
Nobody remembers you or your car.
Why are you hiding behind a fake name and fake car, and fake mods
which don't make any sense? Your Location used to be Doral, and now
it's conveniently Puerto Rico.

SAND BAGS!!! ineed sandbags in my trunk! too little weight and too much grip and power=my car hopping like a rabbit on the last 2 runs i had. oh well, 13.5 was was good enough for me my first time in the miata.
roland, at least now when the diff is taken care off, you wont have to worry about it later and hence, drive better without the extra confidence imo.
simon......you did shift at 7500 rpms riiiggghhttt lol
people, this night was great, it was cool to see you all again and despite the horrid traffic, it was well worth it! cant wait to go back!

directfreak, much respect on running constant 12's..... there is no way i wanna try the my car against yours now....lol
papsmagu, i saw your first run, it looked like you let off towards the end?
Outkast, i was looking foward to seeing your run.... to bad about the rear end.
all in all it was a good night, but i didnt see anyone go up against any vetts?

Sounds like a good event fellas.
I'll make it to the next one hopefully. It'll be a little trip but I've never been to S. Florida.
