Fathers Day (tracks)
Was very hot, 91 degrees. Only two people from i-club showed, Jon and I. We killed everybody except a bike. I finally ran a 13.8. I had to race someone faster (Jon) to get it. Here are the numbers:
Reaction: .814 (Watching Jon didn't help)
60FT: 1.940
1/8ET: 8.872
1/8MPH: 78.38
1/4ET: 13.852
1/4MPH: 96.15
If it wasn't as hot maybe I could have gotten 13.6 or 13.5. I guess we'll never know until a later time. Thanks for all the help on how to launch. Can't remember names.

j/kI hope I can get over it and come out there. I think its half that I dont want to make a fool outta myself and half I hate to run it that hard.
Like Richard said awhile ago about his IS you dont get to see what a car can do and really have fun til you get over the idea of babying it and just run the damn thing. Have fun with it and do what its made to do.

Congrats, Damon! I can remember when it was LUDICROUS to claim that one had a 13-second 4-cylinder car that was *STOCK*. That's turbo Lotus territory! 
Awesome!
Dave, Maybe if you get out to the drag strip I'll grow a pair and run a track day!
