False. I think you meant to say loudest.

How true. And the most annoying. They should just push that thing down the staging lanes.

Puerto Powah! Loud and very slow purpose built drag cars.

Those guys seem to show up everywhere. The couple times a year I show up to race at Grove Creek, Puetro Powah is there too. The only way to avoid them is to go race at Cedar Falls.


BTW, the right lane at Rock Falls is sponsered by LES Performance according to the announcer. :p

Congratulations Vassil on the 11.2! I knew your car would beat my pitiful 11.4 :) Anything to get away from the sad sad 1.88 60' times which seem good for Rock Falls, your car will hit a 10 with a few more passes.. I am confident. Not bad for parking lot mechanics!

Too bad you couldn't make it Jake, you would have kept the DSM to Honda ratio down a little bit more.

The white "Buschur" powered Evo is Trevor's. He has ran faster at Great Lakes with the car... I believe an 11.45 @ 121 or thereabouts. Rock Falls just aint the best place for traction, at least on import days.

Also, good job for Josh for the first time at the track with a completely bone stock 1st gen w/ 120k miles with the 14.6 @ 93. Put a clutch, motor, turbo, fuel system, exhaust and an ECU and maybe you can make me more proud :)

Too bad JETs car wasnt running well. I would have liked to see it line up to Vassils powered by the puny snail.

Congratulations on the time Vassil. You keep pushing that car and turbo farther and farther. You must have the tune pretty well dialed now.

The place was packed up with cars. I was could not hook up my first run and then I boged it a couple of times. I was hitting 2.0 60' times. Finally I launched it at 6200 rpms and gave it a lot of hell and I hit a 1.860 60'. The best run of the day was an 11.2@127.9 The turbo is still the same FP3052, the boost was spiking to 34psi and settling at 31psi. Still running the same 2.0 I had 3 years ago, but now with double springs, built tranny and a quartermaster twin-disk . Here is the time slip ... I was really excited that I hit 101.68 in the 1/8th mile :D

Thank you Shane :D

Haha that was funny when the engine started on fire. I stood up and started clapping and cheering because it finally shut off.

Actually Kevin... :p it was desolate's car. I feel bad because I jinxed him. I said to log it to see if it was knocking. Thou(desolate) said.."i'm too lazy" and me jokingly said.... "you won't be lazy when that shit blows up and you gotta pull it out" and sure enough... next run, KABOOOM!M!M!M!M!MM!. He's got a 61mm on a DSMlink, magnus etc.. on 33 psi 110 octane untuned I believe. Right Thou? You can chime in now.. just thought I'd clear that up that I feel like shit jinxing you.

I thought that the wastegate being unplugged that it would run unlimited boost and i figured thats why it blew. I hope that you get that thing going again I'm glad to see someone running E85!!

I remember a guy from Illinois a few years ago running E85 on a DSM. His also put a rod through the block with no datalogged knock.
