Nice to see you finally got that dialed in Randy!!! Was that on your last run?
Great job Shin... don't forget the 14.02 
I keed brother... more runs in the 13's than over for the day I believe.
Zain was solid with 12.4X over and over. Possibly one Z fatality where the driver (don't know his name) forgot to change maps before spraying. Anyone know if the car started again and was he able to drive home?
Russ has a slip from the Sonata and Slim had some nice runs in the Subie as well.
Today was my first time ever at the drags and I felt like a kid in a candy store. So many loud and fast cars rolling around and laying it down on the track. I never understood the allure of the track, but after today I can fully see how guys keep it off the street and take it to the strip. Wish I would have had a chance to test my old TT setup at the 1/4 mile before it perished.
I can't wait to try it for myself next spring, although I would want a much smaller crowd around while I attempt to learn how to launch properly. A clutch that is slipping when I mash the 1-2 shift kept me on the sidelines today, plus I decided that breaking the car so soon again would crush my soul
Zain... what was that website you were telling me about?
13.7, b!tches

So the motor is done. I felt the power drop off after the 1/8 mile then the check engine light blinked and thats when I let off deactivated the nitrous and purged the lines. Couldnt really tell if it was knocking because I turned the car off as soon as I saw all the white smoke behind me. We got it started one last time and it was knocking ftl. All I had to do was hit 2 buttons and my car would still be running right now smh. I've been searching for motors since I been home and going to start pulling it tomorrow. I did end up running 12.4 on street tires while blowing the motor lol. Anybody get a video of the run?

Shin officially has the lowest trapping Z in history lol
13's second Z, 14 second 6000ft altitude trap. WTF?
Dave is officially a beotch for reasons most dont know about.
I had planned on attending and at about midnight last night my work pans changed for today
Shin and slim deserve to be banned for not lining up and talking alllllll that BS for such slow cars.

We tried to line up two times, and every time we did, somebody's car broke down and they only ran one lane.
