the pink civic was running low 10s the day before at the track. and yeah the 7 won. full-race swore that they blew a couple off the piping and thats why they lost.

FTR only a COMPLETE MORON would bring a NOS bottle that wasnt attached to a unit. Talk about total idiots. That alone tells me that the honda kids are noobs in ever sence of the word. But hey, if you fight physics long enough, maybe you will win, or not.

iirc they said it happened on the second to last race. thats why with the 5 lengths they got on the last race matt was about to kill full-race by as much as he did. so they claim. iirc full-race said that the 28lbs of boost they were running was what blew the coupler. the funny thing. looking at the car after the race they didnt blow it cuz of the boost they didnt attach it right in the first place. can you say leak?

actually it was

full-race: its a 1.6 liter
dave: its a 1.3..and?

i knew he had said that but it was so funny how quick it shut the guy from full race up.

oh and what full-race had to say about the whole thing click me

the short of what they had to say:
It begins. We get on the track, and we are racing a white FC rx7. these guys think this thing is a 9 sec car or something!!! They really thought it was FAST, I don’t think they realized it was actually a pile of crap

First race – tony does a 3rd gear burnout, we give them 2 lengths, they bog, we smoke them.

Second race – we “take the bottle out” give them 2 lengths, they bog, tony rips them out of the hole, car slows down at half-track, the rx7 pulls off the win?

Third race, tony tries to do a 3rd gear burnout, the car can barely light up the tires. He launches, the race is over, RX7 wins

Fourth race, we think the motor is done, I hustle as many lengths as we can, scaring them with "nitrous" we get 4 lengths off the bottle. Race starts, the car is going nowhere. We lose the car.

the white rx7 and pink civic come back around again. The guy who wins the civic hops in it to do a burnout/run it down the track, and stalls it. starts the car again and the car just limps down the track.


What happened to the car?

We think we tore a 6$ intercooler coupler! A simple boost leak and teh car was making no power, running NA... so even when you think you have your **** together, the simplest and stupidest things go and kick your ***!!

IMO it would've been a much larger gap if they lost ALL boost, Like half a track. Bitch *** FWD drag idiots got embarrassed in a major way. They were truly clueless about racing. They got left on when they where running drag slicks. That **** is funny. The speedmachine guys have set up a race or two, that was easy to see. After seeing the dyno sheet....... It took 28 lbs of boost to make 460 RWHP That seems like a weak *** number for that boost level. But it is only 1.6 liters.
