I just skipped past all the bull**** drama, hope that's cool...



Anyone from the Bay go up and do this? What time do you need to leave the SF area to make it in time? It's been many years for me, and I am having trouble breaking in my engine on public roads. Too bad I missed it, and I had to go to Sac today anyway. DOH!

It is about 40 mins going on 101 i belive. U wanna make it there by 3 b/c they start running at 4 and u need "tech inspect". If you wanna compete on wed drags, hope ur times are consistent b/c once ur booted, ur done. No fun runs.....

C'mon now... run a real time with a 35R (not slower then 400whp evo stock turbo times) then you won't have to make up BS excuses..
LOLUMAD BRO? UMAD? umad?

Why don't you you just pop all the balloons and spit in the punch, dick. That last part is infinitely more accurate and true than your sweet GRAFS. No variability or margin of error there.

Its no fun ending your day because your clutch is toast. I would recommend swapping it out preemptively if you think its on its way out.

You skipped the drama?!?! How DARE you?

It really is amazing how tough it is to keep a thread on topic... really makes me want to post less and less. Oh well...

We got there a bit too late this time and only got 2 practice runs in before brackets started. I really think the test and tune days would be a lot better for this sort of thing.

LOL. There are more 400whp EVOs on the stock turbo around here than you think...

Edit: Looks like Bryan beat me to it.

No doubt!!

Anyway.. I totally agree - forgot about the bracket racing part. I really am just looking for a safe place to gently run my car @ WOT to redline through two gears a few times. No idea what I will run, and I do not really care.

I posted a time to go with the sheet Mr. HaterFlag waver. I also wished Ed best of luck at the end of the post. Reading comprehension.

^^^Would this qualify as a "great example" of a 400whp stock turbo Evo going down the track?
