If I remember correctly, Shane ran a 13.10 at 64 when he limped across the line.
That's what I thought but didn't want to say it was to fast. I knew it was a low 13 though.

Being an import, having a dial in of 12.0, with a full street trim car.
these aren't quotes but will give the general idea of what was said. I'm sure the guys who actually heard can probably tell you exactly what he said. I only reviewed the tape once and the video was cut off during some of what the announcer was saying.
Things like:
12.0 - He must have a pretty optomistic personality to put up that time. Fallowed by
a comment about High Hopes for a Street driven car. And then something else.
Hense why I had Joe put - Daily Driven, running Pump Gas. (originally we'd put Bitch after that) but I thought that would be to rude so I wipped it off.
I wanted it put on there cause that guy was ripping on imports all day long. And with the comments I'd got, even though I'd already run my 12.1 and 12.4 back to back. I was like what the hell.
So that run I was lined up against a Tubbed/Tined/Caged/Race Gas Domestic that went 12.0 to my 12.2
The domestic went:
R/T - .088
60' - 1.719
330 - 4.937
1/8 - 7.635
mph - 91.17
1000 - 9.970
1/4 - 12.010
mph - 103.48
To my:
R/T - .109
60' - 1.890
330 - 5.279
1/8 - 7.985
mph - 93.34
1000 - 10.250
1/4 - 12.2
mph - 115.78

is that a promise??? about the slicks??? i can get the axles....
Congrats to those that got some times they where happy with. Matt R those are some nice number for a motor that hates oil. And damn close to an 11 Brian. That kicks ass!
Wish I could have been there, but I was out of town this weekend. FUN TIMES!

Well maybe next time. I'll get that 11. It was my first time at the track with the GSX, my First time using the Stutter box with this set up, and there was some pretty big issues with tuning. So hopefully next time I get the oportunity to go to the tracks. The car will be running better.

No problem filming with the camera Brian. The part I may have cutoff was the run where he was going on and on about how you were "Brian Barton from Burnsville Minnesota..." Thats a lot of "B's"!
I thought it was kinda funny when the Honda guy broke on the line and the annoucer was saying "...Mom, yeah this is Timmy, I broke your car, can you come pick me up, yeah Mom I'm at Rockfalls Raceway...Don't tell Dad..."
The announcer is a tard, who cares, he thinks every civic hatch is a crx. :bounce:
Good job Brian, Matt, and Ryan on new personal best ETs.

Definete Good Job to everyone.
And CarlTalon's car is quite capable of keeping up with me when we were playing on the way there. So his numbers are way off from what the cars capable of.
But then again it a FWD DSM thing. Can put down all the numbers you want. But at the Tracks we just can't seem to get the times to go along with them.

Sounds like decent traction on sunday, really wanted to go!
Fun day they usually prep it a bit better.
I was driving for 16 hrs straight yesterday... now have a 750 turbo in the back of the dakota! WOOT!

Stutter box launch - but slipped the clutch and got wheel spin through all of 1st this run had over 2 counts of knock in all of the gears.
Nice runs Brian! What are you using for logging? Do you mean 2 degrees of knock retard (DSMLink) or 2 counts of knock? I'd be happy with either on my car.
