I will take, "I'm rolling on 18's and have no traction, even though I have a pair of 16" wheels with stickies on them at home that I just took off the car", for $100. You know Richard, he did that for you. That way when he lost he could just say, "Man, if I only had my 16" wheels, this would have been a better race".



I got a million excuses! Clutch adjustment, tires, knock, injectors, suspension, shifter, etc., pick one and I can make it happen. :coy:

True story too! WTF
It's okay, same can be said about you going to the track on the wrong offset 18's to make an attempt at that goal you have. I have a 1* second street car at 1**mph, but let me take my 10lb passenger seat, 5lb rear seat, purge my bowels, and put these slicks on...then it's on! ROFL

Come on now. Whats up with all these *'s

I wanna have an idea of how bad I'm gonna get beat down.
 
I had a good time. Watched a little football and enjoyed some hooter wings. It was good to meet other DSM enthusiasts. I was in the blue 1990 GSX.
 
I thought this was an awsome meet, got to meet some cool people. Not bad for my first time going. I was in the 99 black eclipse with carbon hood and the new GT eclipse rims. I really wanted to go to the track and test out my car ### i just got my engine and trans rebuilt. Im ready for next weekend tho.
 
Damn........Wish I could have ran into said evo's.

Or the ones looking for races at one spot but developed issues at the other spot. :rolleyes:

Nice turnout. To bad there wasn't more racing or maybe we didn't stay around long enough for it. Next time I will try to have more injector (damned e85), boost, and the dr's on so I can play too.

Impressive car Chris. I would like to see some "clean" runs between you and Frank, though I believe y'all are pretty equal.

I agree. We are very close to equal and we didnt really get any clean runs. The very first one was the only time I did well but Frank missed 3rd. Plus the spot we were at wasn't that great.

Once you guys left we had some good runs with the domestic guys. And as usuall I was the only import worth running, so I had the bullseye on me.

That's how you empty the tank of the cheap gas you were on!

So what was the deal with the 4th gen Eclipse that ran up like he was fast? :confused:
I don't get why the slow cars think they need to be up with the fast cars, especially on a road that isn't flat or well lit.

I am not saying my car is fast, but...
 
Glad everyone had a good time
sux that i wasnt able to join yal in my car but thats a different story :mad:

Heres the vid of the run, sorry i didnt get a good shot between c_king333 and secondgen_t, the WRX i was in wasnt able to keep up, damn ZO6 in the way ROFL

I would agree that we are dead even. Who ever gets the better jump, and puts the initial length between us won. The first run I didn't do a great job brake boosting and C_King jumped out ugly on me. I must say I panicked and the fact that the car doesn't really like to shift at 8k contributed to me missing 3rd. It bogged and the race was pretty much over. I don't think I would have been able to make up the initial gap regardless. The second race, we both bogged, I spooled a little quicker and put the initial lenght. We ran all the way to the top of fourth. I wasn't putting any more ground on Chris and he wasn't gaining any either. I wasn't too familiar with the road so I figured the top of fourth was good. How fast where we going, Chris? The 3rd and 4th runs I actually got the brake boosting down and actually went sideways on the 4th run. Chris missed a gear on the 3rd and was #### blocked on the 4th. So we decided next time out we will take it to the track.

I had a good time. I believe I spoke to mattdev, webconnect and rotian. Sorry guys I'm bad with names. Maybe we can set the next meet at a park where we can sit down to eat and bullshit a little more. Great turnout :thumb:.

I felt I was gaining on top end on the second one but it may have been that we were only a car or less apart and you let off. When I let off in 5th I was at 145+

Our cars are very evenly matched and like you said it all comes down to who gets the jump and who hits their shifts.

I'll use my "cheap" gas on those domestics all day just to get a couple wins! :)
