lol, it is a different experience....I'm driving around trying to charge up the batteries after the drag

**Nemesis** · 10-12-2009, 09:53 AM

And I only ask because I think you were right next to him when he backed into me. You two were trying to get out of lanes 7 and 8 because you weren't trying to qualify for the Quick 8.

EDIT: Sorry if I sound like an asshole, but dude hit my car!!!

haha, from the look on his face i think he was nervous/scared cause it was his first time at a track, and he just bought that car lol

glad nothing happened tho.

**Incontt** · 10-12-2009, 11:50 AM

thanks for the pics!!! The heavy hitter import (gastroker) broke a yoke. That might have been a good race between he and I depending on how his car hooked. Hopefully when they do this in the spring more people will attend. Even if you dont race its still great to TNT and see how everyone elses car runs on the same track surface and temps.

Yea, next event should be much better given how many people flake after the second reschedule

Found a video of the end of our run. Damn that car is fast.

I wish I wouldnt have gotten lazy. I could have got some more out of my tune but i was just worried about the 60' for the race part of the day. I didnt want to redlight so I just waited for everyone to move before I did. The GTR actually get a decent light.

I gotta do some more editing. I got a vid that had all the MCE members passes I taped so there is hardly any import runs in it. Ill do another in a few...waiting for an HD version to finish

**Incontt** · 10-12-2009, 01:23 PM

here is the SD version. WARNING...hardly any imports in this vid

Great pictures man!

Whats up with the 3 second video on youtube, LOL. Nemesis you really should have come out it was a great time. Anyone going down this weekend to watch the Lucas Oil series race? I plan on going on Sunday.

**totsubo** · 10-12-2009, 01:53 PM

I let my buddy video the runs with my camera. He said he forgot to press the OK button. Oh well. I got stomped on by that convertible trans am anyways.

**Incontt** · 10-12-2009, 02:02 PM

search "south east drag day" and there are several vids on youtube

did u get your fuel prob figured out?

**Seven** · 10-12-2009, 02:07 PM

Mr. Incontt
Congrads bro. I wasn't able to attend but I heard you got some great runs out there. Maybe one day we will be able to meet and give a good Import v.s. Domestic show. Its a shame you don't get a lot of imports to push that beautiful machine, but its your time to shine. Congrads Seven.

**Incontt** · 10-12-2009, 02:16 PM

thanks!!! Gastroker was there but that yoke broke. He said he was gonna forget trying to make that work...take some time away from the track and get his car straight for spring. Clark could have given me a good race as well but someone told me he doesnt like to race on radials. Hopefully the spring event will be a big turnout.

**totsubo** · 10-12-2009, 02:29 PM

My car was running great. No fuel cut issues once I killed the VDC.

It is an 11 and a half second car, not any faster.

I think I can take you next time. hehehe

I will do some minor mods to help get it into the 10s. I figure if I drop 30 lbs off my waist and use 19" rims, I might have a chance.

you might take me next time....the most powerful car and the fastest car out there did not win

Thats why we race!

**Seven** · 10-12-2009, 03:41 PM

LOL. Just have that machine out in the spring2010 remember this is IMPORTAtl you may end up sell'n your v8 and purchasing an IMPORT. After the RX3 comes out for a stretch... lol

Im glad Mr.Strocker is bowing out till he gets the weak links fixed. I'm tired of hearing about a break and I'm sure he's tired of fixing things. I would like to see all of GA's finest cars (import or domestic)out for a round up...

**Incontt** · 10-12-2009, 03:52 PM

The last imports vs domestics race i went to we won 9-1 so no import for me anytime soon

I have never doubted the speed of the imports....look at Titan in 10.5

**Seven** · 10-12-2009, 04:00 PM

Well Im sorry to hear about the 9-1 lost, lol. Really if any import(under dog) wins thats the hero for that day.

**Incontt** · 10-12-2009, 04:20 PM

underdog? now you get your own arguement back...imports usually weigh less and make more hp per ci

Lucky I was able to even qualify....lol....see what i did there

Hey...pssst.... heres a little tip...

The owner of ImportAtlanta drives a Vette.

**Seven** · 10-12-2009, 04:35 PM

LOL.. Yeah that theory is true for the most part.... But Its also has alot to do with R&D and building parts that can handle the serious power. If you really look at my car..... I looks like an import and has the import heart(rotary). but the rest of the parts are from the V8 industry. V8s have been drag racing before you or I were born. The import world is borrowing the V8's designs and running with the best. The Underdog wins everytime

**totsubo** · 10-12-2009, 04:47 PM

All videos have been uploaded:

http://www.youtube.com/user/yt6263364495

Took forever.

I did not format the videos. I have not even seen them all.

**Seven** · 10-12-2009, 05:02 PM

Nenesis,
Guess what... I drive a tahoe on 22's my next vehicle will be the new 09cadi cts-v. when the wife's car is paid.
Im not talking about one or the other industry. Im just stating that the import family is borrowing stronger parts to run on the track. If you dont think you need that QA1 shock setup or that 9" rearend spool or the Aeromotive pump to run fast your not running fast enough. Lets not get into transmissions..... g-force/liberty/power glide......

**Incontt** · 10-12-2009, 05:08 PM

uuuhhhgghhhh QA1s....i hate em but my car is really to heavy for the stock valving.

totsubo thanks for the vids!!!!

Would my car (not the stealth) be considered an import or domestic in this race?

Import.

**Seven** · 10-12-2009, 07:30 PM

It depends on what power plant is in it! I only hope you have a Rotary in it.

LS1 engine makes your car a domestic in my book.

The drivetrain will come back bulletproof next year...well... as bulletproof as you can make an AWD drivetrain.

damn, what broke this time ?

**gastroker** · 10-12-2009, 07:55 PM

driveshaft yoke for the 3rd time

Who is telling you the d/train will be even close to bulletproof? Something is got to be the weak link. Now out of the two evils(engine or tranny) which one is cheaper? Maybe if they use the metal that Logan "xMen" is made of.

Just make that car a rear wheel drive and then just worry about staying on the ground.

Its still an RX7. But I guess it all depends on the rules of the event.

Are you kidding me hell yeah that car can be made rearwheel with a lil time and money. I think his name is Brent Rau that drives the gray one. Dude that shit got me and my peoples "rotary" wanting to up the game for that reason. The point I'm saying is the all wheeldrive is good for... Street/ rally racing/ or SCCA stuff. Thats to much weight trasfer and shock on that little yoke. John force aint building allwheel drive funnycars.
