Also, I was able to limp the car all the way back to the cities. Ran 70mph the whole way w/o tooo much trouble. If I had to slow down and then accelerate again, that was just slip slip slip with anything more than about 1/10th throttle.

We have the slowest evo to date, lol.
No you don't, I do.

For a car that almost keeps up with the BeaterX on the highway, there's no way I should have been running 14s. But as I've said, I can never drive at the track.

Tons of people told me they were sorry I had a bad experience my first time out b/c my clutch broke. I literally launched the car about 15 times between autoX and dragging, beat the piss out of the car all day and everything but the clutch performed flawlessly. I had SO MUCH FUN!

Sounds like a great time, sucks that so many people had clutch/drivetrain issues, but in the end those are way better than major motor issues. As far as I read nobody blew their motor up, unless swifty did (not sure).

Who won the Q16?

Great to see everyone. I guess as usual, I fail you all, and don't follow through with a pass or anything. I swear, SOMEDAY my luck is BOUND to change. I've finally narrowed my final goals to a single digit pass/150+ mph traps. Someday, I hope.

rofl! Might wanna stick with just having a car that runs.

I really wanted to make it up there for this event, but ended up pulling a Steve and staring at bikinis all day yesterday instead, and ripping apart a deck on Saturday. Ill be up there next year for sure and maybe in a car thats race worthy? Who knows.

Good to see so many quick times and no major damage, always good!

I couldn't believe how many different things were going on at the same time.

Swifty while I hope you do get something together, it isn't always luck and just throwing a goal out there because you saw someone do it with a car "similarly" equipped doesn't mean its easy.

A lot of people see someone else do something and assume shit is easy or talk like it is. I hope you get something together because I don't see how you havent gotten out of DSMs or cars yet.

I agree with Peter and start with a car that runs solid.

Congrats to scheides breaking his cherry, he was ecstatic the whole time.
Trev, glad to see your day picked up.
Bryce glad that your car could make some passes.

A lot of nice cars showed up, thanks for putting on a good show everyone that turned up. I think if things go well I would like to be in attendance next year.

MAP i have no doubt things will keep picking up as time goes on.

I think having the diesels there was cool, gave the import racers a break they needed even if some didn't know they needed it.

Why could diesel trucks run but other cars, like andrews V couldnt? Hmm...

Adam@MAP ran his V Dow the track, 12.9 w/o nos. Andrew probably could have if he wasn't having tune/fuel(?) issues or wasn't so drunk :). No conspiracy theory man!
