August 25, Qualcomm drags.

Wondering if any guys went? I chatted with a cool dude that I believe owned a Turbo II. I also saw a silver FD which I believe was single turbo, but didn't know for sure because I didn't get a chance to meet him.

My best was 8.5xx with a 2.0xx 60ft and trapping at 84.11 on 555R drag radials. My mods are M2 chip, DP, Exhaust and 11 psi. To help with the launch, I had solid Delrin diff mounts and trailing arms. This combo seems to help alot with wheel hop, but launching at 5K, it's still alittle present but nothing major.

Next event, I think I'll try a high flow cat and 13psi. I'm shooting for 8.3xx. but with my limited skills in drag racing, that might be a stretch. Hopefully I'll be able to meet some of the locals next time......

That usually means I don't want to talk to you. J/K

I guess nobody drag races at the Q? Hopefully next time, there will be others that can give me a few pointers.

I missed that one because I was going down to barona the next day. I did finally manage a 6 second run the week before though.

I assuming he races the red Mazda Speed miata? If so, he's a very cool guy with a additude. We raced a couple of times with me edging at the end.
