Import Showdown 2007

[gtikid]

The Orange Rotary won.

No the Orange Rotary won modified street. That dull red buick or whatever it was won Showdown. JKOBD's civic was running consistant 10.1's until his last pass

It was my first time ever trying to run my car. I was running Kumho MXs and was just hoping for 12s. My first run I cut a fairly decent (I guess for those tires) 2.1 60', but missed third, bounced off the limiter a couple times, and still pulled a 12.7 @ 116 I think (then I later realized I only hit like 16.5psi - I usually run 18-18.5 on pump gas). I thought I could do better, but ended up with a couple 13.3s @ 119 after bogging once and spinning another time =P (2.5 and 2.6 60'); although I shifted better on those runs. I think with some practice I could hit lower 12s on real street tires, and 11s on something decent...

I had fun but it was super hot, and now I have a left arm tan from waiting in the staging lanes.

Yeah, the car was definately hot! I actually shut the car off just after the 1/8 mile marker as the temps were through the roof. I had a good day though and the car was pretty consistant on the times. My mph was consistant around 145-146. I turned the boost up a little and the car went 149, but didn't help the time at all. The car just wasn't hooking up yesterday.

As a bonus to second though, my kids thought I won the piston cup (See "Cars" the kids movie) so that was all I needed to end the day. Congrats to the buick guy though. He turned the boost up in the finals though as he was running slower than that 10.11 all day.

I am editing the videos now. I have all the runs except for a couple. But I do have me and that supra running.

>>>also in for vids and more pics.

from the 1/8 mile, it seemed like you woulda passed the GN by the end... but smart choice to let off...that 1100$ wouldnt have rebuilt that motor had you popped it.
