Yep the supercharged Denali was my last race, he was damn fast for a big truck! He had the hole shot and I couldn’t run him down in the 1/8th, just not enough road. My Dad was in the G35 and he ran the RX-8 a couple times and lost. He did beat a couple of fox Mustangs though. 🙂 ---

i got about 5 runs in, nothing great. raced my buddy’s red ss with nitrous, ate him off the line but mine didn’t spray and he passed me right at the finish. raced an 01 cobra after messing with my p.o.s. window switch and he didn’t even come close. raced a formula and he wasn’t close, then got beat by about 2 or 3 by a 3rd gen with “just a 350 bored .030 over” and then raced silverss and he ate me off the line and held probably 3 cars the whole way. the car ran strong as hell against the cobra and formula, probably had about 5 cars at least on each of them. felt pretty good for the first time using the bottle. only bad thing is that my window switch is fucked up for some reason and i had to keep messing with it, now it only opened the solenoid 1 out of about 5 times i tried to spray it on the highway coming home, so i don’t think it was spraying right the last couple runs i had. it didn’t feel like the other runs at all. i’m hoping this stupid purple box isn’t junk and hopefully i just need to reprogram it or it just has something to do with this p.o.s. harlan window switch. oh well, i’ll get it figured out sooner or later. over all it was a fun time, and i got to meet a few more guys from the site. ---

I had a great time, a true showman for sure! The “acoustic solo” part was awesome! We ended up in section 9, seats. They came around and offered us pavilion tickets, and we had like 15 people with us and the guy was like “here’s 15 pavilion seats go grab some seats”.

Weather was great for racing…but I think it was harder to hook than usual. I usually never spin at the line with the AWD, and I was spinning all over the place on launch. I have a new tune flashed, so maybe I am putting down more torque than usual, but couldn’t hook well at all. Won 6 out of 7 races, the only loss in the top tuner to the red 240. Not sure what he has in that, but lost by 1/4 car length. Wins - Blue 6.0 GTO, Regal w/383 stroker, White WRX, some Maxima, Red vette, Shelby GT500. ---

i just went out and looked under my hood and the fitting off of the controller box that reads the fuel pressure popped off and it’s barely even spraying. guess i shoulda popped the hood and looked around between runs because i’m sure it’s getting some kinda screwed up reading since they’re supposed to stay capped off when setting it up for an ls1.
