    i read were somebody said the race seemed short ( it did to me to) but he still put car lengths on you thats strong that race was no were close to being a close racer . Ill back mosely on any race you want with him (motor to motor) just buy watching the video. Im not trying to be a dick . I just realy want you to get your car right because it has a nice motor in it. It takes more then the motor to get from point a to point b. Hell the first thing i did was build my 4.9 b16 trany with a gsr fourth and a ls fifth because that will make just as much difference as a high hp motor does. Im sure you will get faster just dont think because you make more power you should have been faster or that it must be the wear yaw started at or something like that as to why his car was faster because its not . Its just how its set up . I want to know at any time during the race did your car start pulling back on mosely car ? If not you dont have a chance simple as that ive raced enough to know. I dont know mosely at all . Ive never seen his car . I have my own car so im not a nut swinger . Im just stating facts so maybe you will take it to heart and start changing stuff (gearing in tranny ) in order to get the most out of your motor thats all. Id realy like to see what that car is realy capable of.
    The boss talk is doing its job then.

    And I keep trying to tell him this. Changing the starting RPM will take away some of the advantage Moseley had on that run, but it won't change the final outcome. Most of Moseley's pull came in the first second or two of the run. Starting at a higher RPM will take away some of that, but not eliminate it. Still, I'm sure they'll run again to see how things shake down.

PLUS, lastnight i didnt know my "sweet spot" but moseley knew his. I was at 5000rpm in second when most likely he was at 6500rpm. Dont worry though we will do it again from a 50 roll where i'm at 6500rpms and i promise u the outcome WILL BE DIFFERENT. U guys keep saying 5 more mph isnt gonna make a difference, but i'm talking about rpm range NOT mph. the rpm range in me doing a 40 roll and a 50 roll WITH A 5 SPEED TRANNY IS A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!! but like anything else i guess i have to show u rather than tell you.

    And car lengths?? No1, how about one car, which for me is good considering i have the 5speed AND was at 5000rpm vs his situation. The third race where i pulled out earlier cause i thought the curve was shorter than it was(coming back down another access road) was different as in i was closer to 6000rpm and he was no longer a car length ahead, but i told chunky dont worry about posting that run since i pulled out earlier and it wasnt a full run.

    dont be so quick to comment until we run again where i'm in my "sweet spot" like he is in his. It was a gearing race from the start and he knew that, thats why he called me out! dont be nieve man, moseley knows his car and he knew whats was up lastnight, so NOW we will go at it again. That is when he finishes with 1civic! LOL!
    C'mon man. I know your car must feel a lot faster when you start in your sweet spot, but here's the thing about the 6speed. It's hard to ever catch it very far out of its sweet spot. The 3rd run probably didn't get posted b/c I couldn't get the camera to focus right on that run and I'm not sure you could really see anything. I think you guys did start at a little higher speed b/c I was trying to tell you at the light that you were starting too low in your RPM range. That, I believe, was conveyed to Moseley who started the next run from a little higher MPH. The outcome was the same though. He nosed up and you never passed him. To be honest, you won't have a chance of passing him unless you guys run up to 130+mph or so.

    Do the things I suggested to you and then bring the car back out.

    haha, AKUMA was the secret boss. I think he has yet to make an appearance at this stage in the game.
