I don’t rember his screen name but there was a decent amount of people that saw the runs. the race was to be from 30-115 but I was having one hell of a time trying to brake boost my car and hold it back to 30mph. the brakes wernt strong enough then i would lift the throttle a bit and the turbo would loose some spool, sorry about that. beep beep beep I get a bit of a jump because aparently the SS couldent hear his own horn… 😃 i didn’t really see were he was through first gear but once he hit third i started pulling pretty good we kept on it a little bit into my third gear, when i let off around 105. I would have kept going but i didn’t forsee him catching up so i let off. end result SHO by a couplpe of cars. then we went agin for a 50 or 55 roll and the results were pretty much the same. that car moovs pretty good. thanks for not flipping me off like everyone else i’ve raced 🙂 . I wonder if it will still pull like that with 217K on the origional engine. ---

:tup: Pimp run Alex!!! I prefer the part where you ran down a Saleen Mustang that had like a 30MPH head start on you. You car is definately fast! Can’t wait to get a run at it with my SuperNatural SHO. ---

Well the second was like 40…and your car is annoyingly fucking loud. The second run I jumped ahead but you came back to a lead…either way you took me both times…but PLEASE make that car a tad bit quieter!!! ---

whats up with brake boosting…I think its for lamers. 10% throttle to hold speed, then roll into WOT on 3rd beep. Im looking to see who’s car is faster in a run, not who brake boost harder:rolljerk: btw,:tup: to the SHO, you need one of those water prevention socks or something, thats a cool…but kinda scary setup. ---

Isn’t that the equivalent of saying you shouldn’t launch off the lane when racing from a dig?:rolljerk: Part of racing is how good the driver is, if this was always about nothing but who’s car was faster, it’d get boring. ---

I don’t know where you people come from, but it doesn’t matter if you win by an inch, or a mile. Winning is winning. No tuna, or pizza will ever change that. ---

no prob bud :). well u and the SS were trapping about the same at the track…so it’d be pointless to run alex, unless you like losing. ---
