Re: I finally made a 9 second pass

Thanks guys, I love the car and I love DSMs, but I am a little tired of this endless love/hate relationship I have with it. I know that with a better launch it will run low 9s (9:20-9:30). The problem is that, then it will be too close to an 8.99 and I will end up spending another mountain of cash and break a few more parts doing it and it will be another 2 years at which point the car will be worth less than 1/3 of what I put in it. So for now I am gonna take a break, finish the k-member and continue to make parts for DSMs.

The next car I buy/build will be an auto and RWD. I am really itching to build another tube chassis with an auto and a transbrake, but I am not 100% decided on it. I am also having some lunatic thoughts about a tube chassis with a Hayabusa motor and a chain-driven diff ... lots of ideas, but nothing certain yet
