How do you compare vs. Swifty?
Just another call-out to Swifty to get his ass to the track since he's been building a drag car for years now...hopefully this adds a little more fire under your ass!

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
I made about 5 passes in the Talon back in 2006 or so, rocking the t28. Never got to see what it would do on the final setup, wanted to go but rained out last day last year, oh well. I should be able to pull some mid 11's in the V, maybe this summer.
Hey swifty, give us new numbers! I saw your car on the dyno last night, but they said the tune wasn't complete yet.

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
I've raced at Brainerd once. Did 2:05 on a 2.5 mile track in a 90hp MR2 that had a transmission that wouldn't shift, brakes that barely worked and a throttle that would get stuck closed.
Oh, drag racing... Carry on.

I was standing there while Shane was talking to him. "Shaft play" and whatnot...didn't seem too encouraging.
I haven't even spectated...murlo blew up his shit on my first trip to spectate. |

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
somewhere around 100ish with my old 95 GSX on the drag strip and 6 or 7 local rally cross events while with my old black 1G.
Swifty, even if you have to rent a car, this is your year!!!

Re: How do you compare vs. Swifty?
I've made 4 passes in my shitty maroon talon. Ran some terrible times, but was still fun.

Haven't done any stop light racing at the track, but I have gone down the FULL straight at BIR several times.
