Only got 3 runs in and the first two were HORRIBLE, i.e. 16.x. Trying to get used to launching the car. Also, I got a bunch of ignition breakup or something which definitely slowed me down. Lemme see...any more excuses...uhhh. My left tire is bald and my tune really isnt all that great.


1.977 60'
14.062 @ 99.28mph 10psi

I hated leaving the track so close to 13's at 100 but it was cold and the line was getting extremely long.

While I was waiting to run (a mustang hit the wall).There was this prick in an escort or cavalier or something that kept revving his fart can at me. He got my attention and said "guess what it runs". "uhm, your car? I have no idea" . "16.1's". "uhhh, is that good?" . "Hell yeah its good". Almost got him to race for $20. :D

no clue. I might end up hitting the dyno sometime soon to work out the tune's kinks. Street tuning by yourself gets lame after a while.

it sure as hell looked like it. Odd layout. After the 1/4 you have to slam on the brakes

Ah ha, I knew you missed me yelling out w/b 02 readings as fast as I could(to have good resolution:D ) while you nailed it in 3rd in the 240;) . Its ok, I miss you too.
