Not sure yet, was supposed to go to NYC for the weekend. Never launched an awd car before so I probably need some practice before I go and f**k up in front of people.

EDIT: then again, I'm curious to see if I can beat SHIN down the track. Weight to power ratio is in my favor here.

Will do. Not sure if I can take shots, but beers and hookah would be fine with me. If Jeff is manning the grill, I'll bring over ribeye steaks from Bloom.

Berto I am definitely going to check this out / possibly run, let me know if you want to roll.. despite the da reasons to go...

1. Shin must break into the 13's or the you tube madness page comes down.

2. Slim stock wrx v. Shin should be entertaining(if slim can make it)

3. Slim launching awd..

4. After track drinks lol.

Yup I believe the best I could muster that day was a 12.8 with a mediocre trap lol.. just go shin no biggie...

Speaking of which, Mike come fall time you should run the 1320 just to see what your auto - x set up will do...

I honestly think I can go 12.90's on Hoosier A6's. I'll give it a shot or two in the late fall.

Want to go riding Saturday? You need to get some 919 seat time for the sake of riding it.

Come on now, do you really see me drag racing anything? Never been my cup of tea.

Besides don't forget, stock clutch owns me.

If your trailblazer is stock I'm pretty sure I'll crush it, Jeff.
