I do suck at drag racing. But we do it just to take the trophies home, Someone has to run that class. Of course we took first place. WE were the only NA that ran. WTF. No fun in that.
Anyways we will be ready this year to hit each and every event. I hope my son Ryan will be there to drive the auto cross event as I just can't seem to find my way around the cones. LOL.
AS far as road course, no issues there for me. Ryan and I drive the same there. The importent thing though is our car. It has taken me a while to realize that there is not much action going on in the NA world.
Nothing to compete with, and for sure No respect. LOL. So we now set our sights on TT cars. Hell, no fun beating mustangs. LOL. So we are going after ANY AWD TT (Our plateform) car supporting less than 16 lbs boost. (10 lbs boost FWD)
WE are Still at 10 to 1 slugs, so that's about our limit. Maybe eating a couple of TT cars will get some respect. LOL
Our TX gathering last week ended up with only 1/8 mile drags and NO Dyno. Shit happens. We will Dyno Dec 8TH and post results. 1/4 mile tracks are closed for the season. Had to drive the car to Austin and back for the TXG, so did not race hard.
God I hate braking a trans every time we drag. Anyways, did a nice easy run, a little wheel hop, had to get out of it twice. But ended up running a 9.549@ 75.76 mph. I had just put a few new item on the car and only finished the car a few hours earlier. So this is with no tune as well. Hows that for pre 2013 NG hype. :)

Cue facepalm. You made a generality and I offered up some perspective, don't cry about it. Not everything posted, even if you are quoted, is expressly meant for just your information only.Quote:

Don I wasn't referring to your car or you racing, I know you will race. Been there, seen that. There is a local STL guy with an 3.5L mtx car that I would like to see run. I'm failry certain he will attend the NG, I just don't know if he will do any racing. I would be interested to see how his setup compares.Quote:

Don, I have respect for the builds you create, but I see you post constantly about beating stock TTs and I just can't let it keep getting said without some comparing data.Quote:

I am sure your car is fast for a non turbo, but I think you tend to underestimate what a TT running correctly, even on low boost, can do.
Are you a director now - curious way to post.Quote:

I am merely pointing out you have no ability/inclination to hear your words with the ears of others.
As to the other, yes - I heartily agree to the competitive benefits of friendly competition.
Also please note my reticence to abuse my car for the first time while 800 miles from home.

Show me examples of where I post to tell you that you don't know anything about everything. The only condition is that you can't pull from the political section. I bet you can't find 3 instances of said behavior. If you do I will gladly start a thread just to appologize for doing so. However I am quite confident that of the two of us, I am not the one with empathy or perspective problems.
Interesting that you are more than happy to call someone else out about doing something you yourself are too fearful to do, but hey it is the internets and the internets is big business.
If it means anything my roomate can detest that his lightly modded VR4 on 7 PSI vs MY SL is only about a car length Faster then me...... Now that VR4 on 13 psi commits several counts of rape against cars that r suppose to be faster then a vr4.
However, all a Turbo car has to do is make a DIY MBC for 5$ and it makes all the difference.
But again how ever, a bone stock used VR4 is in the 230-250whp range is it not... And has a significant amount of weight extra....
But again again again... i would RATHER have a Turbo car.
