why would you spend time drivin to do something meaningless to everybody that wasnt there rather then do something 5 minutes away that you can tell somebody in like cali or somewhere.

draggin>auto-x.

Why do you have the parts you do on your car then? Don't you have a decent size turbo and stuff that would not be ideal to road racing? I think you should race!!

Let's see, automatic transmission, high stall converter, AWD, big turbo...
Sounds like a car built for drag racing!!! hahaha.

I am disliking dragracing for the same reasons so many people love it...its repetitive. Line up, stage, rev, launch, drive straight, apply brakes, turn off to return road, go to pits, wait 30 minutes, repeat... I'd rather lose at auto-x than win at dragracing. At least there I feel like I'm trying to do something with my car. Who cares about bragging rights, there's always gonna be someone faster and even w/ 1/4 mile racing you will have people arguing well you were at sea level and I was at 1679 feet above sea level, thats not a fair apples to apples comparison. It takes more talent in my opinion to win consistantly in autocross than it does in drag racing. Thats not taking anything away from drags though, the cars that do it are amazing as well. Its a whole different game and to compare the two is like trying to compare Wheels to Smoke Detectors.

18G's are the preferred turbos of WRX autocrossers...but yes, I originally built it for drag racing, just lost all interest

I'm kinda notorious for that I had a pedal bike that was built for freestyle but then decided I wanted to run BMX a few times. Had a car built for SPL then decided to go SQ.

I think I'm going to try to make one of the days if I can sneak away from work for the day.

Chuck, I remember last fall you said you were going to try to make it to all the bracket races this year... why the change in heart?

Just out of curiosity, I looked through the timeslips I could find and I've already made 32 passes this year.

[camzaro28]

dave i think we should line up. u give me 14 cars lengths and we race for pinks. and i get the hit

[uwatchn]

I'll be there. See if i can fuck up my clutch the rest of the way, then i'll have to buy a new one. Hopefully they have both lanes running that sucked last time.

[camzaro28]

if so, we linin up. youll probably beat me!

[uwatchn]

Sounds good brian i think you'll beat me i can't get it in gear half the time and the other half it sticks in gear

Ha haa... give you the hit too?!?!?!?? With 14 car lengths you'll be so far away I won't be able to tell when you leave! lol

Make it 10 car lengths and we leave on a flagman. best out of three just like on TV?

[camzaro28]

thats the point! just pay attention to my brake lights

[dubbsy]

this is the last Street legal event of the year too isn't it? Haven't made a single event this summer and probalby won't make this one either.

What a damned depressing summer.

It's a 2 day event, you must be able to make it out to one day?

There is another TM day scheduled in October I believe.

[integra_gsr98]

I like burnouts.

[h22d_hatch]

I should have my car there, hoping to run high 13's.

[HandoEX]

I will be there.
