Rock Falls this Saturday, Sept 11th

Well I wasn't nearly as fast as John but not such an epic build as him either. My mostly stock pump gas X ran some 12.8's@112-113 down to a bunch of 12.5's @ 115 and then 12.4@115.8 and 12.3@116.8. I'm really pretty green when it comes to launching and it shows; but I made great progress today and the car has made great progress since it was at BIR for MAPs proving grounds (ran 13.1-13.3@106mph there).

It's not that fast, but I had a smile on my face all day! Can't wait to see videos; there's some HD footage coming!

Were you using launch control? Need to get some tips before I try it on mine for the first time. I've had the Evo for a year and have never launched it. That's probably a criminal offense somewhere. lol.

I'm sure your clutch appreciates that though.

Congrats, the wingless beast looked good.
