Import showdown crowd

[2.3 Evo 8]

Good to see some old faces along with some new.

I met LEAVINU, very nice guy and that C6 is gorgeous. Sounds awesome.

I even met Marcin, but we didn't get to run because he had clutch issues. His car is freakin loud.

I'm going to get some of these issues fixed and hopefully be ready for the Fall Showdown.

[Maniaç]

+1, good times indeed..

[TIGERJC]

[GIXXERDK]

[LT1UltraZ]

[SpeedMonkey]

good to see ya Willy.

[2.3 Evo 8]

Good meeting you too Tiger.

That was by far the best IS turnout I've seen yet. The competition is getting stronger and stronger every year in every class.

[The Youngn]

i had a good time out there....it was good seeing everyone again

[WickedIXMR]

Had a freakin blast! Had a great time hanging out with everyone again

[The Youngn]

LOL at josh almost passing out towards the end

very very true, its a shame i have nothing fast to fuck around in.

btw... phill... im going to have to say you have by far the most consistent bad ass launches i've ever personally witnessed with an evo.

[KevinT707]

^ True, Phil's lauches are off the chizzain!!

I had lots of fun also even though I didn't do any racing on Sunday, I beat it up too bad on Saturday & lil Panda just couldn't handle it anymore :(

I finally broke into 13s though!! (13.4 @ 108.94)

[Lankhoss]

I hate that I couldn't get in the competition, but it was nice seeing guys anyway. I don't think I would have been much of a threat with my 2.2 - 2.3+ 60's ugh

Hey Youngn, your car seemed like it was running pretty stout yesterday. My friends and I were all impressed with your times. That's fast as hell for all motor.

Anyway, good times....I enjoyed racing, and even enjoyed sitting in the stands and watching the "actual" fast cars go at it.

Thanks Will! :goodjob:

I thought someone would like my AWD burnouts.

I hope somebody got them and my runs on video. :???:

[Ericp]

one of my friends and I were talking about how crazy it was that you could spin all for 4 wheels like that :goodjob:

[Maniaç]

Phil spining all fours FTW!!!

[Evolunchbox]

It was nice meeting everyone! I didn't get to meet a lot of you but would have like to. Great turn out.
Congrats to Phil and Josh! Killer consistency, that is what wins races bro! Unlike some of us...hahaha!

thanks man...couldnt get my launches down too good yesterday tho. you'll see better times if we're ever out at commerce together:goodjob:

[The Youngn]

yea...the AWD burnouts were bad fucking ass....shits crazy

[sleepys4]

Anybody have videos of these so called, AWD burnouts, I must see.

[Goinfasterthanu]

It was nice seeing some of you again... The track was only hooking for about 2 - 3 hours . I was able to squeeseee a 12 of it before it got slick again.. I think commerce has a LOT more traction...All in all it was fun!! Ill be at the next one....

O and ALL my runs were on street tires..

[Big J]

Not really a burnout, but spinning all 4 over to clean them off

[KevinT707]

I don't think I can wait for the next Import Showdown (Sept 29) to race at Silver Dollar again, perhaps we should setup a weekend track day in between?


you'll see better times if we're ever out at commerce together:goodjob:
Commerce FTL!

[The Youngn]

i like commerce and a number of others too....im down to set up something at commerce

[Goinfasterthanu]

i like commerce and a number of others too....im down to set up something at commerce


Yea Commerce is a LOT better track...

[AnclyT]

for some reason, i've been gettin better times at commerce as well..

although i keep hearing the opposite

[The Youngn]

yea...people think we're weird as hell for liking commerce. i just hook up a lot better there and my best runs have been from there.

[Member31410]

Good times indeed. It was nice seeing a lot of familiar faces and cars there.

[khan351]

It was good meeting a lot of new people on here. Ride down there was a blast and there were some pretty fast cars up there.

Silver dollar=no traction:cry:

[ct9a gsr]

I dunno what you folks are talking 'bout... seemed like the track was prepped pretty decent to me... I was able to cut 1.62's all day, consistantly... on cheapo street tires.

[SPOOLIN]

Commerce FTL!

go to the steele event on may 20(import face off), Steel hooks harder than any other track in this region.

[2.3 Evo 8]

I dunno what you folks are talking 'bout... seemed like the track was prepped pretty decent to me... I was able to cut 1.62's all day, consistantly... on cheapo street tires.

I was spinning like a disco ball and cutting 1.62-1.66's all day also.

[JDM-95-Hatch]

dead hook for some cars is a good thing for others its a killer. Therefor the guys with honda's with b series run better times with wheel spin to get into their powerband while people with alot of low end tourque like jeremy's H22 need traction to run better times. Just my opinion on tracks. I personally don't like a sticky track because i have no torque and it would take me 1.5 days to make any power with a dead hook

[Yoshi]

glad everyone had fun, sucks i couldn't make it. :(

[Lankhoss]

Holy crap, I don't know how you guys do that...especially on street tires.

I think my best was a 2.15 60', and nearly all of them were over 2.2 (had a few 2.3+'s)

[Incontt]

Steele hooks really well on Sundays TNT...SDR...iffy normally unless its for an event. With so many street tired cars, hard for any track to hook.

[OHYOUKNOW]

Steel hooks harder than any other track in this region.

its a close 2nd but carolina has the best track coverd hands down:goodjob: look up the orsca records and see the list of tracks, that will say it all.

[collins]

Yea Commerce is a LOT better track... are you joking? when running the teg (when i had her) i was running 15.5's to 15.6's consistantly at commerce, where at sdr i got her down to a 15.1 consistantly....

same with the lady's 350z... i could shave off about a half a second at sdr than what i could run at commerce....

i'll have to just wait and take the goat down to both tracks and see if the results are any different.... but i dont think they will be...

[dingo7]

i might go to commerce this weekend and see what happens. Ive never been to the track but w/e suck I couldnt make it to isd. maybe ill be at the next one.

[ct9a gsr]

I was spinning like a disco ball and cutting 1.62-1.66's all day also.

I had to lower my 2-step settings to cut those times... if I had some nice drag radials, I'd be back at launching at 24psi+ instead of ~14psi, lol. Do you like those BFG KD's? Would you recommend 'em?

[2.3 Evo 8]

^^Yes, I like them. I would recommend them. You just have to play with the tire pressure when your at the track. Next time I'll probably start at 22 psi and work my way down.


How the fuck did you do that picture in your sig? Looks tits!

[Evolunchbox]

+++111111 Awesome pic!

[ct9a gsr]

Haha, I've had that pic since last summer... just decided to use it as a sig now outta boredom.

SWEET ASS SIG Charles!!!! +2 hahaha!!!

[BLK JDM]

go to the steele event on may 20(import face off), Steel hooks harder than any other track in this region.

I would have to say Bristol then Rockingham when it comes down to dragstrips in the SouthEast. Steele isn't that great to me especially when you consider the dip in the right lane that's straight up obvious and the hellatious return road. That return road is worse than driving on NY city streets.

[BLK JDM]

Oh and props to the kid w/ the red 07 or 06 Mustang w/ the blk wheels w/ red lip. DAMN HIS GIRL WAS FINE!!! I've seen him post in the kills forum(he's got a pic of the car in his sig).

Props to you buddy, I had to hold myself back from telling her how fine she was and I'm not that kind of person to look at someone else's girl if the dude's around.

[Incontt]

steele dip is fixed...level now...they fixed it over the winter
