Eric,

I'm leaving in 30 minutes.

BS 04 sedan. probably going to film first 2 hours. Way too many cool cars first day of the season. I will start running around 7.30pm - track is still warm but intake temps are lower and not as many people. Hoping for sub 14.4 times.

Good luck with the times. Post up your results. I'm not an automotive bowling guy myself, I enjoy the turns.

They did run 1/8 mile drags, which wasn't as much fun but still was good. My reaction times were crap, I should have had tripple mocha before that.
Made it to semi-fanlas though. Was loads of fun.

Darren,
I've never dragged my G before, so thought I'd give it a try. Believe me, I had more fun coming back after the run on the side curvy road

My best RT was 0.187, best 60ft - 2.36 (no torque braking, no ABS fuse pulled, VDC off). I ran consistent 9.6 trapping at around 74mph.

There was a guy in 05 sedan rented from Enterprise, ROFL.
His best run with 1 passenger and torque braking was 9.72. Both him and his passenger were 150lbs each tops.

Hahaha.. that Enterprise rental car made me crack up. Another reason why I would NEVAR buy a used rental car. Good job on making it to the semis. What other cars did you against? Also where is this? At Infineon? Maybe one day I'll go just to try it out.

I ran against Nissan 4-cyl truck - LOL, than against 350z which majorly screwed up on the launch. I lost to SCed Buick. To give me justice guy was running 10.5lbs of boost and was a very seasoned racer.

It is fun, I'd definately try it if you never tried it before, especially bracket racing. If you're consistent, you can win against modded vette in a stock civic
