Went to Empire last night. Tons of cars there. Wondered if anyone else from here went? I saw a few stm built evos killing it as usual! On a side note I was able to make two solid passes in my turbo civic and finally reached into the 10s. 1st was 10.9 2nd run was 10.8. Third my transmission will need to be opened up to see what I lost lol. ![http://i68.tinypic.com/351989f.jpg](http://i68.tinypic.com/351989f.jpg) ![http://i67.tinypic.com/1533dxg.jpg](http://i67.tinypic.com/1533dxg.jpg) ---

You ran against two 1/8 mile cars? Not that it’s relevant, but the seem to cook in the 1/8 then shut down on the back half. ---

Breaking. My clutch was only good for 450tq and im running stock axles and nothing special in the tranny. Figured id get a few more runs in by slipping clutch instead of snapping axle on first pass from preloading. That’s y my 60` isnt the best. But still really happy with breaking into the tens. ---

I used to have luck with just dropping it damn near the limiter on 24.5" slicks. Let me know when you want it to go faster, I’ll give it hell. :lol: What clutch anyway? ---

> [@Henry](#): > > Im currently in the middle of packing up things. Moving to NC the 29th. Thank god, now I never have to see you again. :lol: good luck on the move, sounds exciting. When I ran a 4 or 6 puck (can’t remember now) it always snapped axles…switched to a full face and it never snapped again. ---
