the white car ran two 9.0 runs and a 9.10 on friday and ran a 8.90 and 9.0 on saturday. Please explain how that is sandbagging? His times have been getting better and better. last year I think his best time was a 9.40 on the setup

... and the white one has no muffler... basically straight 5" dump off the turbo

hoping next yr I have time to join them

A solid time, yes. Justification for the noise it makes, no. Seriously, you cannot possibly justify that kind of noise when cars next to it won't stay running. It's not loud, it's obscene and offensive, and the two times my car died next to it I'd have gone as far as labeling it downright antagonistic. And despite putting down a "respectable" time, the fact remains that it's a purpose-built race car that's slower than my daily driver.

And the turbo is effectively a muffler, which explains why that one makes at least tolerable noise levels. I guess I misread one of the times (probably the 9.10) as a 10.x, my bad. I was doing my best to ignore their cars.

In the end, I'd have zero issues with that group if they'd leave the brown car and the noisy pit bikes/atvs/etc at home and make normal amounts of noise like everyone else.

And that's coming from the loudest person on MitsuStyle.

.

you are at a track.... cars are going to be loud.

the brown car is loud, but not 'that' loud. If your car can't stay running because of the noise, I would say that is more your problem than theirs. Sure it isn't the fastest thing out there, but for the money into it, they have fun with it and it runs decent times. And good for you, you have a fast DD. MY evo is probably faster than it was well <- just don't see how that matters much.

They go to the track for a good time. I say lighten up a bit and have a good time too

So you'd wanna tell Brent Rau to go home if he showed up (the most amazing drag car ever), since his car is loud.

No I would not. The difference is that Rau is fast as shit and his car has a genuine reason to be that loud. That rotary wouldn't run perceptibly slower if they had enough decency and consideration for others to put a $40 muffler on it.
