13.40@102.91mph was my best time not that it mattered since they only had 2 throphys(fastest turbo and fastest n/a) I did'nt have a shot at either this year. Last year was better when they had one for each gen. I don't know why more people did"nt race?

^^ i know why i didnt race. because we came from massachusetts and the 4 hour drive home was alot cheaper than a 4 hour tow home if somthing broke. i would have loved to race though, if it was closer.

raced her at rotorfest didnt i.... ran a 13.3 and trapped 105 consistently peakin at 11psi.. ..horrible 2.1 sixty footer
not too shabby with stock ic.. rad.. motor.. leaking non seq turbos.. and heavy show wheels on street tires..
ran with bigger hp fds and faired well too... except yours... missed 3rd against ya..not that it wouldve mattered...those are my excuses..

she traps higher than that typically.. she is in the 12s with a better dragger..
shes no garage queen.. although she looks like it...shes sees at least 2 road course events during the season.. with a few drags thrown in..
im actively competing in scca solo2 with my daily this year.. so my time is taken up on that... im currently defending first for dsp class...
need to put my ps back to run competitively in asp with the fd next year... nice to have finally caught up with ya man..

My sob story reads much the same as amps, lol. I haven't drag raced since 2001, so lots of rust to shake off. I was happy with my RTs, but my 60 foots were horrible do to some serious bogging at the line. Heavy 17 inch wheels/tires didnt help. Due to the insane track temps, my boost was down to about 12 psi, and I didn't feel confident raising it due to the aforementioned ambien temps.

Best was a 13.2 at 110 with a 2.4 second 60 foot time. I need to keep race plugs in the glovebox, my street plugs were giving me breakup past 7k-ish rpm.

On a positive note, I am feeling that old addiction coming back. Who feels like going back on a test and tune when the weather is cooler? I want to take another shot with stock wheels, race plugs and 18 psi .

Onekwik7 whats up you sound bitter about not winning a trophy this year.You won fastest 2nd gen last year,you want a trophy every year.Your 10 aniv should of won best in show,you had the cleanest 2nd gen there.Lets get a track date together i know your car ran in the 12's at englishtown.Dont be so angry we all ran bad times. You should have brought your rx8 you might have had a shot at the n/a trophy.I wish i had a choice in what rotary rocket to bring lol.It was nice to spank you on the track this time last time we raced (when i was stock) you gave me asswooping
