Race City -- Drag Races -- Tonight

[Fluidic Digital]

I'm going to be heading down kinda early (around 7PM) -- Ken from Concept-1 is attending and racing. Anyone who wants to see a Stage-3 1.8T in action, get your lazy ass down to the track.

Regardless of whois coming from this forum... I'll be there. My phone number is 608.5958 -- call me if you have no fucking clue where you are going.

Haha... I'll believe that when i see it. I won't be racing if I go... I just like to watch.

well here are my results with spare tire and golf clubs in my trunk (don't ask next time its empty)
17.8, 17.4, 17.0, 21
last run i launched from 3k but let it out way to early and my clutch slipped like a whore.. 55mph max on that run.. i got scared from the smell and quit right there.. i gotta practice launching more before i go back cuz i should be 16.0 according to peter and i feel the same
mike had way better runs than me. my launching/reaction time sucked so hard like .8-1sec where mikes was .4 pretty much all the time..
so anyways i had fun for my 1st time out.. just gotta practice and keep at it..

peter IM about those video clips.. i wanna check em out..
later dudes

Everyone thinks they'll get 15 then they get 17's

[R_Ethug]

i could care less about the time.. i care more about my poor lil clutch.. oh well a few more times this summer and some practice and i'll be tight.. this is my first manual car that i've owned.. not just bagging other peoples so I try to treat it good but **** happens whatever.

I've done 20+ runs, ranging from 16.5 to 18s - most being 17.1s etc. Jamie from 5th ave ran a 15.5 (no chip, no intake, has exhaust and some other minor things, and he's on stock rubber).

I'm throwing my 15s on next time just to see the difference.

damn.. i was rocking my stock 17s and goodyear allseasons.. the super cool thing was although i only got up to 3rd shifting from 1-2 then 2-3 i got the wheels to chirp which was super rad that pavement there must be super super smooth for that to happen.. my shifts were good just launching was ****

[Fluidic Digital]

Damn... we all thought your blew your clutch Ryan... you got like a 22 second Q/T that last run. The way you were limping down the track kinda made everyone think you fucked your car -- oh and from what Mike told us!

haha it scared the **** outta me too.. its all good now and grabs like a champ but i imagine that stench is gonna hang around i still have 7 months on my 12 mo wear and tear but even so. i think i won't ever burn it up again..
tonight was totally fun though peter gotta do it more for sure..

[Mr. Burns]

i think rolling on my 18's wasnt helping my situation. the fastest I could manage was 16 flat. I raced the dude from 5th ave, but I belw my start, and only got 16.3

lol, my best is a 17.3, and you have 96 more hp then i do... hmmmm. yes, i think you need to stunt more on streets, i would break 16's at least if i was you. low 16 that is.

[R_Ethug]

yea i know i sucked bart.. being a newbie and extra nervous really didn't help nor did the dudes yelling at me and always giving me ****.. but i have it all figured out now.. i just have to baby my car until the start of sept. .then i'm going back
