I am sure gonna regret missing this meet. As you can see I waited until the last minute to post because I thought I could make it. Just not up to it.
Good luck to you all.

Fortunately I broke out in the first elim so I took some *****in' vids for y'all!!!
Some highlights:
-The grudge match between the Bruce and the Porsche 911 TT…you can tell this guy was jelous that 350z was running the same times…check the vid since they raced for “pink slips”
-Burnouts from Walt, Sean and Bruce…in one of the vids you can see smoke creeping out of Bruce’s hatch still!
-Finally hearing the announcer say my last name…I captured it on video! Unfortunately I broke out by a tenth of a second on this runL
-A supra with a HUGE turbo and some HUGER slicks only ran a 12.3….check it out.

Man i thought I was going for sure too, I did pick up almost 3mph more trap. A new best 1.75 60ft. However my 3rd gear c0c% blocked me 2 times on my best 60ft runs which should of yielded a 11.60ish to 11.90.
Rob's best was a 12.6 something but he thinks he might have toasted his diff.

The announcer did a better job on your name this time.
Fun night enjoyed the company as usual. Seans working tie flew out the window on one of his 13.4 runs. close the windows Sean.

Alvin-
Thanks for posting up the pics and video. Rob kept telling me he was taking my car to the strip, so I had to eyeball the pics to determine if he was just f#cking with me or not..... He called on his cell phone while he was driving to Infineon and said "wait a sec, I have to pull over and put the top up on your car so I can hear you". Everybody's a comedian!

If so, great job again Sean. Time for weight reduction.
Heck throw that passenger seat out, CD's, carpet from rear, spare tire, tools, and anything else that can be taken out and put back in quickly, etc....
Have you taken that front sway bar off yet? Go for some lightweight skinnies up front? Come on, get serious.

Quick question for all you drag racing junkies so I can settle an argument.
Does the rear-end ratio affect the acceleration in the 1/4 mile?
For example, would one see a noticeable difference between these 2 setups:
car1:
3.89 rear end, open-diff
car2:
4.38 rear end, Limited Slip Diff
