Now what was very disapointing was the fact that the fastest cars were in their 13's. I won every single race with time to take a tea break...including the domestics. I saw one other 12 second car. Most cars were in their 15's if at all.
I think i must have broken some track record also. for the slowest car there. lost every race, even to stock civics. 16.9@95 was my best, lol
gotta work out the gremlins out of this thing
Lol, you were the silver car? I talked to you didn't I and beat you as well...my 12.7 against your 17 something....I was already back staged byt the time you finished the race

yea, yours is running real smooth.
on my last run i dumped the clutch at 6k and barely spun the tires 1/2 a turn. it boggs so bad i dont even hit max boost by the end of the track.
its a good thing i brought it out to see how it does. the situation wasn't noticable at all on the dyno. gotta take it back for more tuning.

Just joking 
I'm just going to have the kid pay for the rear bumper + paint + installation, it doesn't look like it will exceed over a thousand (maybe around $700 - $900). It should only take a few hours to remove the rear bumper and install a new one..................(at least from my experience it aint hard to remove front and rear bumpers )

I took a second look under my car and looks like the crush bar will also needs to be replaced and the outter frame holding the crush bar might have been pushed in slightly, looks like an extra 500 bucks.
I'll give the kid a chance to show me 2 grand by tommarrow (most likely will be a loan), before I call the insurance. I only have until 10:00pm Friday before my window closes on insurance.

Yeah those stock brakes really suck. I took a long lunch up the canyons and had some serious brake fade. I'm really considering some StopTechs. I have to get my priorities in life straight. So boost will most likely come first. 
Sorry I did not make it guys. I was on my way, I left at like 5:45 from inglewood, and after I got through the 405 to the 14 there was a car crash. It held me up so long that I would not have had a chance to run at all. So, I just turned around.

Very interesting.. 12.646 at that elevation. Good
That is still remarkable.. I used to be stationed at Edwards in the late 60's

The track is actually very tight after you hit 2nd but until then....slipporama, horrible.

Cool thing was that some non Z people came to me saying: "hey, are you the Z that hit 12.2 at Cali Speedway?" Now that felt very good.
so what happened to certain people saying that they would show????
