I beleive I went to the one in Hawthorne? Don't remember the city, but it's off the 105 and Crenshaw.

And hopefully next time. This is the only time I can make it since Spring Break. I'm off of school mid-May, so I'll be sure to hit up Irwindale then as well.

 

Mike here you go:



I have about 5 more pics and that one is probably the best one lol

 

^^^ Rad! Your dog is a celebrity!!!! I need an autograph!

 

I should be leaving in 1 hour Wally. Mike, enjoy your work. I'm sure its funner than WOT down the 1/8th mile

Cool looking dog!

.

 

She's tough to grab once she's running around, but I'll try my best to get it lol


Henry, I'm leaving in like 5 minutes. See you later on.

 

ha ha... funny guy. I don't like driving fast anyway - it makes me nervous

 

LoL, cracking up on your post.

Oh well, I guess I'm not going to Irwindale today. Fvck traffic. hahaha


Why can't we do this on a weekend?

 

605 N Sux!!!! It a b!tch going form work - but on a day off it's great 'cause you can get there early and no traffic...

They don't run on weekends (Thurs night only)

 

Just got back home. Tired like a ****...

Quite happy with my results. My best was an 8.767 @ 82.49mph and the 60ftr was 2.049.

I got in 5 runs from the day/night and I was there from 4:15-10pm. It was packed! Time went by pretty quick since I was kicking it with Henry and Philip. Darn you Philip! looks like there wont be a next time

Either way, glad you guys were able to come out.

 

Had fun. My first run on the strip in almost 6 months

My times weren't great. But not bad either. Guess I'll need cooler weather & better launches to get where I wan't (less than 9.00).

Thanks for coming out Phillip! Too bad you're not going to be joining us at the drag strip anymore. Best wishes on your new future!

.

 

aww i forgot about this..

 

How do you just forget about a track/drag event

Join us next time!

.

 

nice results!!! That is much more in line with what I figured your car would do (as opposed to Fontana's results).

 

Had a great time guys. Traffic was horrible getting there, took me close to 2 hours coming from west LA. Anyway, got a best time of 8.5x at 84.xx mph (don’t have my slip with me and I can’t remember the exact numbers)

Wahoooo beat the M3 again, jk Wally . Yeah sucks we can’t race again, I guess we can compare time slips once you go FI so we can see how much you would have crushed me .

Thanks Henry, Irwindale being a slight downgrade doesn’t seem to be much fun for 6mt but your launches seemed to be solid the one time I watched. Get a Vortech SC, that will surely get you under the 9s .

 

thanks! Kinda hard to use the launch control at Irwindale since at the staging are there's a slight forward motion and I have to use the brakes where as CS, there's no rolling so I could just concentrate on the launch control. I just need more practice.

so looks like I wont be going FI on the M3 anymore.. Remember our convo? I went ahead and ended up buying that 335i sedan I told you guys about.

I'll post a link with pics most likely tomorrow.
