hey Craig glad to see you got pretty far...haha i still can't believe i beat my dial in by that much, surprised my ***. Ben man i hope everything with the car is still good.

edit : My best time was 13.791 @ 102.95 and i have a pic of the slip if anyone wants to see or host it i don't know how, that run made me happy even though i beat my dial in time of 14.0 with it

For my first time on a track, I had a blast. Craig, thanks for bringing me up to speed on how everything works, as well as giving me some tips. Congrats on making it that far. 350zWarz, glad to see you shattered your previous personal best time, wish I was able to stick around to witness everyone else's success. See you guys at the next one!

Jess

That was a REALLY fun time today guys. I've never done 1/4 mile before and it was a blast. What a RUSH!!

Craig, thanks for educating me on the how-to of drag racing. I would have looked like a complete idiot out there if it weren't for you.

And damn Warz....that time rocks...I guess my half second Response Times may have had something to do with my performance today They're what led to my demise against that damn SRT-4 in the 3rd heat.

Still lots of fun though.

Ben, my brotha...I feel for you man. It royally sucks that you blew up your plenum on that first run, especially after having organized the whole day.

So when are we doin' that again? It's hard to beat that kind of fun for just $15 and a tank of gas!!!

Kelly, I know what you mean on those response times. My R/T's definitely show how much of a newbie I am to dragging. That tree turns green 10x faster when you're behind the line!

yo kelly it's weird that we raced each other first time, then both ran against camaro's second and then srt4s on the third...i know i lost my first two races but man when i was beating that srt i was getting so hype i didn't want to slow down haha

hahaha sorry guys i got the car fixed, the plenum held up till i got home, i didnt put any boost through the motor the whole drive back, *BUMMER* i tryed to make the drive as interesting as possible but...nevertheless its fixed now...boostin strong, i got the videos transfered to my laptop and im going to try and throw them up once i get back up to school. I seemt o be having alot of problems with uploading them from my location at my house. So i figured i would give it a try at school and see if it works. But i had a great time guys im glad you all did too. I wouldn't mind doing this again, and hopefully running my car without anything happeneing. *crosses fingers* but guys ill post the videos asap, i had alot of fun, hope to see you guys next time. and kelly throw those videos i got on your camera and the pics. I want those for the video.

Yup and I forgot to go to court so I am going to blame it on the fact that they sent the notice to my home addy and I am at school so I didn't find out in time. I really can't afford to get those points.

i think i got a few vids, one of gspot and one of kelly... and a few good shots of the drive up...

ehh... i wasn't very happy with my results at the track, but it was my first time and im still riding on my stock baldddd *** tires... ran a 14.3 something the first @ 102 and a 14.274 my second time @ 101.8. Happy with my trap speeds but i need to get outta the box quicker; my 60's sucked! R/T's were about 0.18~ so not too bad. My friend with the RSX that came had an R/T of 0.08... pretty impressive.

Anyways, fun day, but sooo many cars and such a long wait. haha and i was embarrased by some of the other cars there, like that purple box van that was running like high 10's... haha and that one old school mustang that was twistin chassis on every run.

Fun day sorry i had to diip out early on you guys... had an english paper to write.

will get back with pics and vids later

oh and ben, WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THAT PLENUM! sorry man... looks like you shouldt hink about the APS :-P

xoxo hahaha
