Coming home from Lancaster Speedway Tues nite, turning off Cemetary Rd onto Broadway, I see a new M3 ragtop fly by. I just had a nite of fun, drag radials @ 16 lbs on, still have racing fuel in tank, so I needed to turn at Bowen but, nah, I figured he might bite. So lite turns red, I get out of left lane, line up with BMW. He (swear to god!) looks over @ me with a **“Don’t Fuck!ng Bother Punk”** look. So I figured I’m not even gonna play with this jerk, I opened the cutout valve, (electric cutout, really loud) spooled to 5 lbs of boost, when the lite turned he popped the clutch & I let off the brake. I think I saw his wig fly off as the exhaust ( that exits just behind the r/f tire,) blew past him like a dust devil in the Sahara! I pulled buses right away, slowed down to legal speeds, and he kept way behind me, as I turned left to head home, he flew by me and beeped his horn & shot me the bird! What a f…king A- hole. I went out 1st round Tues nite, but this made the nite worth while. ---

Also, from a roll on the streets might be close if I wore the DR’s. A good day nets 1.5 60 ft. Avg 1.6, 1.7 I ran a best of 11.7 @ 117 MPH. More normal times are 11.8 @ 114. ---

[/quote] yea, thats pretty impressive. Im trying realy hard to get my car ready for one last run out at nyi. I dont have any 1/4 #'s yet but im hoping i can trap 120+. On street tires my High boost settings fry tires through 3rd, so i dont normally race on High boost unless im on the track and with slicks breaking rear end parts.lol Ive been having some seriouse issues lately that i need to fix. I switched to a electronic boost controller because i couldnt get the MBC to hold my settings. it kept reverting back to wastegate pressure. also my manifold keeps cracking, this time worse then ever. So im gunna pull it off this weekend and get it welded up for the 4th time and hopefully be ready for next weekends test and tune. ---
