    Decent turnout and the rain wasn't that bad. Was actually nice to me because it dropped the temp big time and gave us a nice breeze. Just wish we could have kept racing though!

    Oh, and there is something up with that Dyno jet...

    Yea it was fun while it lasted. Well, except that Commerce track always seems to hurt my feelings. It makes me feel like my car is slow and/or I've gotten worst at driving .

    -On a side note though, who were those 3 asian girls that always walked w/ each other, I only saw them for the first few hours. Were pretty cute from what I saw . Anyone know who I'm talking about ?

    Held out just long enough! What kind of 60' was everyone seeing? Who got that R/T prize (and the others)? Altima guys were running quick!

    It seemed like people were having trouble adjusting to the track but I had a blast, thanks to everyone who put this together.

    I was just out there to get my stock time so I can see how much it drops after I install the PES G2 supercharger kit. MY best was like a 17.23 @80.7, but hey thats not bad with a 4500 pound car with only 220 hp. I still beat an accord or two haha.

    If you're talking about the one with 4 12's in the back, sitting on the ground with fake disc brakes...

    You know sound sensations did all the work, sold the car, and that dude bought it like that, right?

    R/T I think went to a girl named Brittany (I think her name on here is Britto) I don't know what her time was, but she mentioned she won like 250$ for it. We were on the phone, though, and I was in front of the tractor-trailer bed...er...stage...when the girl in bikini's were first going up, so I didn't pay much attention. :boobies: She drives a black 94(?) lude. She did one run, and shut the car down and left it in the grassy parking area. After the run she said she heard rod-knock and assumes a spun bearing. She stayed up there last, so she may post tonight about it. Poor girl JUST got her car back from six months in the shop (swapped)

    As for the dyno, I heard a few people saying it was reading lower than norm.

    Congrats to all winners, hope to see you at the next show. My car's not show worthy, but it'll probably be in the show anyways.

    Hey, nice work on that BMW...the guy handled it pretty well, but you can tell the car is meant to stick to the pavement and not slide. Nice work, though, and great driving.

    LMAO... yes I somehow won best reaction time. It was .502..... My car ran fine on the mobile dyno- which read about 40hp lower than the 219whp/167ft lb tq it ran Friday at Balanced Performance... then I took it down the track ONCE... and spun a rod bearing. There was a very slight knock... and very veryyyyyyy fine metal shavings... let's just say there was a slight silver tint to the oil in direct light. So yes... the day after I got the lude running I spun a bearing! Yesterday was pretty horrible... but finding out I won best R/T was pretty sweet! Another guy actually had the exact same time so we had to split the original $500 payout. We both got $250. Check www.atlantadragway.com for the story and photos in the next few days.... LOL.

    My luck is just amazing. eh.. but the rod bearing isn't actually too bad... The lude should be up and running again next week. Considering the motor had less than 5 miles on it prior to dynoing as well as it being 112 degrees in the shop.... Ed and I think it will easily see 230whp on a cooler day after break in period...

    Britt, you never texted back. What's up!

    Yeah, she told me six months, too. I was gonna be pissed, and make her do it sooner.

    I think they said you tied with a dude because they couldn't admit a girl beat the guys in R/T. Conrats though! When we chillin' again? That everclear caught me off gaurd last time...

    They said that other guy tied my .502 R/T and that we had to split the money... I was soooooo close to winning 500 bucks! But hey I'm not complainin...

    I'm not soo worried about ME not getting the text as much as I am YOU getting it. Cuz I lost contact with you when I got distracted... :boobies: I just wish they'd been more impressive. But, oh well. My girlfriend wouldn't approve anyways.

    I'm only a lightweight cuz I've been busted for drinking twice...and I"m sick of the cops. So I've just lost the desire to drink all the time, and because of that...it doesn't take much. I'm happy with it though. Now it only takes four beers to make me feel good instead of 12, or 3-4 shots instead of 8-12. I'm cheap what can I say. But it was great seeing you out there again.

    Maybe that 250$ can go into some bearings...what bearings were you using anyways? Might wanna allow for more break-in time next time.

    You must not have raced me in my accord then?

    I won the closest to 14.00 with some of the slowest runs I've put down in like 3 years. Oh well, worth the $100.00 to be slow I guess.

    Had a good time, wish I could have met some of you as I'm new to the area. L8r

    all i want is to get into the 12's b4 i turn the boost up. i burned another chip yesterday and it running better (12.5 a/f). i got a few little bugs to smooth out and ill be ready for the track again.

    i wonder if the 2 broke exhaust manifold studs had ne thing to do with my lean a/f reading.
    exhaust leaks owned me.
