[DarKStaR]

[-S Double C-]

event wasnt all that great only a hand full of cars that was impressive, that galant from CFT that was running with clark and won the showdown class was sick!!!

[SlenderEG6]

unfortunitly i didnt make it but i heard that galant was badass! lol heard it gave clark a little suprise!

[KPFphotography]

I thought it was a good event, i really didnt get to stop and watch to many good races though. I did see some people break though.

[-S Double C-]

its time for you to get a better turbo setup and turn up the boost on that built motor

[Member31410]

Nice meeting ya, kpf2007. When I found out I had the highest trap (115 mph) in FWD qualifying, that was a shocker. There usually are one or two cars that trap higher than me in that class. All motor class, there were just two cars. Overall, I had a great time and I have another trophy to match my win from the Spring 2007 Import Showdown so I'm happy.

Man, I was pissed when I found out there were 2 cars in All motor. I knew I should have brought the drag radials

[TIGERJC]

[-S Double C-]

[-S Double C-]

so clark did not win IS?

nope CFT (centralfloridaturbo.com) did in there galant

[TIGERJC]

I wish I went. I thought clark was running 8's w/ his th400, that must have been a bad-ass galant. Was the galant auto?

clark red lighted, i think his best time of the day was like a 9.5 or so, best time the galant ran was like a high 9 all over the track thought it was gonna hit the wall 3 times in one pass! Clark is indeed probably faster but if that galant made a clean pass it would be a sick one!

[Clark94T]

the galant was a sweet ride. that car has some potential to run faster than it did on sunday. I think it has run high 9's before. I pressed the transbrake after I staged and the car rolled forward and the transbrake never stopped it. I'd been having problems with the transbrake slipping when the nitrous comes on and almost didn't bring the car. Glad I did, b/c there were only 3-4 cars entered in showdown class.

After I got the transbrake to catch it felt like a decent run.

[Incontt]

Clark mine does that sometimes. After my burnout i will usually activate the tbrake once to kind of "purge" it and then it always works right while staging. Hate it u redlit...that sux donkey ballz. When are you hitting the track again? Our weather is almost here!!

OUR weather....wtf?

[josh green]

Here is a little taste of what happened to spoolin in the semi's when he got put out.


Thats right, there are 0 teeth left on that gear. lol I believe this was around 20-24 psi or so but its probably the heat from the runs on the dyno that really killed it.

[Hunter02SS]

OUR weather....wtf?

Yes, our weather as in cooler, denser air for turbo car's!
Mo Powa!

[UB6IB9]

so who had the fastest srt 4 out there, I heard there was one in the M/S class but got eliminated first round, does ne one know how fast it was?

[SPOOLIN]

its a trade off though...cooler air means less traction.

[Incontt]

what???? a track temp of 100 degrees is gonna offer less traction than a track temp of 60 degrees. The weather we are in now is perfect for hp vs traction.

[SPOOLIN]

yes but if you drop below 60 then it starts getting just as bad as 100.

[calboi]

what did the fwd class winner win with? time wise that is? anybody know?

a guy from my town, he went 11.90's

[Member31410]

My opponent received a red light so I got the win. If it matters, he ran a 12.7 @ 114 while I let off early and coasted to a 12.9 @ 106. I just wanted to see if I can reel him back in but it wasn't happening so I let off.

That Neon was pretty quick for it's trap speed. On low power, I have went 12.4 @ 110 with a low 1.8 60' but that is nothing compared to what that white Neon was running. The other red Neon and I in FWD class, we were when we saw his trap speeds.

yea you guys are fast, im trying to get up there. Slowly but surely coming after ya lol

[Member31410]

^^ Your car was pretty quick. When you told me the times you were running, I had to turn it up a notch on my driving. I haven't competed since last year's IS so I was still trying to get the feel of launching my car on DOT tires. Slicks are so much easier. LOL. A few weeks ago I was at Silver Dollar with Evolunchbox and btstone. They can verify that I was running up to 14 second passes and trapping under 110 on full power and DOT tires. Doh!

[KPFphotography]

BTW i thought u couldnt run slicks in fwd class. I thought that stepped you up to the next class

[-S Double C-]

yea you guys are fast, im trying to get up there. Slowly but surely coming after ya lol

300whp and slicks on your setup and you will be in the high 11's easy with good driving

[Member31410]

With slicks and a FWD vehicle, you have to run in Modified/Street. I ran in M/S back in 2006.
