Went to the battle of the imports in kent washington this past weekend and took home the bacon 
We arrived at the tracks and unloaded the car off the trailer, 1st pass of the day at only 24lbs of boost the car went 11.30 @133mph, that was good enough for the #1 qualifyer, 2nd pass the clutch slipped on me the whole way down the track, not sure what went wrong, but it was fine for the rest of the night, but I still managed to click off a 11.50 @124.56 on a slipping clutch..
1st round of eliminations I lined up with a low 12 sec sti, I ran a 10.82 @137mph, that is a new best et and mph for me until later that night.
On a side note, every singal run I had I almost put the car into the wall through 2nd gear, the tires just light up and sent me everywhere but straight. Scared the shit out of me every run, the car was making so much power.
2nd round, I lined up with a mid 11 sec evo 8, launched the car and spun to a shitty 1.89 60ft, grabed sencond gear and ALMOST crossed the center lane when 2nd gear came online, could not keep it straight again and ran a 11.0 @135mph.
3rd round, lined up with a toyota supra that ran a 10.68 @134mph in his 1st round, so my qualifyer spot was still there as I did it in qualifying passes, this pass I turned the boost up to 34lbs of boost, I was saving the best for last. we played stage fighting before we fully staged, nailed the 2step and I got the whole shot, went to grab 2nd gear and nothing but air, I missed second gear ahhhhhh, I got lucky and he missed as well, I slamed into sencond and the car just woke up, I could not beleive how hard the car was pulling, grabed 3rd gear and walked away from the supra and the car was just harder then hell to keep straight and planted to the ground. Grabed 4th gear and pulled through the traps at a woping 11.4 @138.93mph!!!!! If I would have not missed 2nd gear it would have gone 140-141mph on that last pass.
here are the passes at each boost level
pass 1 24lbs 11.301 @133.26mph (side ways through 2nd gear)
pass 2 29lbs clutch slipped the whole way 11.506 @124.56
pass 3 30lbs 10.829 @137,44mph (car stayed straight this time)
pass 4 30lbs 11.021 @135.69mph (hit rev limiter too hard in 2nd gear)
pass 5 30lbs 11.048 @135.37mph (side ways through 2nd gear)
pass 6 34lbs 11.489 @138.93mph (missed 2nd gear hard, new best mph)
I was very excited, alot of people talked to me at the tracks about the car and was very amazed I was doing it on street tires on 17" rims haha.
All of this on a daily driven talon with stock struts, stock tranny, stock motor mounts 17" 215/45/17" toyo proxes tires and the car weighs in at 3250lbs with me in it.
ANyway, I won a HUGE trophy and $500.00 and alot of respect. I was very happy to be in the winners circle at that track.
My best 60ft time of the day was on my 10.82 run with a 1.831 60ft all the rest were stuck in the high 1.8 range. Slicks are the next mod to this car. I am sure the car has a 9 second pass in it if I get the slicks and suspention setup right..
Had alot of fun.

It's so cool to see DSMs kicking butt...
. My friend was all frustrated because you whooped on that Skyline and they are pretty much his favorite car. The other 3 DSM's didn't do too bad either, the 2 other talon's were both in the 12's I think and the VR4 was in the 12's too right? I remember on that 10 second run seeing you kinda sliding back and forth in your lane, i almost peed my pants, hehehe.
