    Default Import showdown crowd

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    I thought someone would like my AWD burnouts.

    I hope somebody got them and my runs on video.

    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..

    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?

    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

    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.

    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

    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)

    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.

    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...
