yeah, thanks a bunch Marcus and everybody involved in hosting the event!
I had a fun time as well! My best run of the day was 14.023 @ 101.01 (60' was 2.074, not too bad for my car). I was really shooting for 13.99 or lower... maybe next time! I was on 3/4 tank of gas (need less next time, I think) and gonna ditch my audio equipment to save weight (subs, amps, blah). I need to learn how to power shift too, haha. I didn't beat too many cars... maybe a pickup truck and a cavalier, lol. Good runs everybody! See y'all at a future event! |

Ran my best time 13.779 @100, not too bad for a 14b and SMIC!
Got me a newer Firebird and Camaro....felt good!  Ran my first bracket race and got past the first round, second round fell asleep at the tree and lost by a tenth! Had a blast, thanks Marcus and SloPony!! -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Marcus
If there's any video of my car...I'd love to see it! I can never get decent video of my cars. Another thought, that front engined rail car was crazy. Must of had huge brakes, he was pulling it down from 165 with no parachute! -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Ran a couple 12.0's at SloPony day, wasn't terribly happy with those, so I went with the FC Customs guys to Gateway and managed to pull an 11.84 @ 116.17, which is getting close to what I think I coax out of it.
