Import Day 5/16/04

[Beau]

If that is the best Cincinnati has to offer then that is pathetic. Half of the cars should not have been racing. The 11 second 1g DSM was very impressive though. What's the deal with a bunch of 14 second Evo's and STi's?

probably people who didnt knwo how to drive them. not hatin.
was it a big turn out?

[Beau]

Yeah, there were quite a few people there.

[1995hondacivic]

i should have went to run the 21second sedan lol

[smytty]

The 11 sec 1g was mine, ran a 11.88 @119 i was very happy with it... That was on only 22psi also so i think hit has a little bit more in it....

What rpm does that turbo reach full boost? The most impressive car there I think. At least more exciting than a low 14 second 3rd gen RX-7 and high 14 second Supra with an auto. At least the Supra was probably a non-turbo, but I'm pretty sure FD's run high 13's stock.

[Georg51]

It was on ok turnout, not what I expected personally. I did expect all the slow Hondas however. I also got to meet a lot of the DSM guys on here which was very nice, dsm4dsm, smytty, NOLV4V8, 9secondtalon, and a few others. I definately had a good time even though I couldn't race my pos.

It's gonna be fun to try and find out why my car ate 4 quarts of oil in just 600 miles....

[ftblplyr46]

i wanted to go up. but didnt have the money to, plan on going in october though seeing as its my bday then! :yes:

[mkiv_t74]

all i can say is 13.0 ownes me! I guess 12's arent ment to be :(

[NOLV4V8]

all i can say is 13.0 ownes me! I guess 12's arent ment to be :(


hahaha

consitantly too!


Congrats Josh! those were some nice times. I cant wait to get mine running now!

Nice to put some faces on names!


good time!

[Beau]

all i can say is 13.0 ownes me! I guess 12's arent ment to be :(

What mph?

[93bluhb]

good day, i thought, at least for josh anyway...nice passes. it was nice to see that the gloomy day didnt keep everyone away

At least the Supra was probably a non-turbo, but I'm pretty sure FD's run high 13's stock.Thanks for the comp, its hits full boost around 3000..

[Beau]

Thanks for the comp, its hits full boost around 3000..

Jigga what? Does the AWD help spool turbos because of having more weight to move or is that a very efficient turbo? I must know what turbo now.

[NOLV4V8]

Jigga what? Does the AWD help spool turbos because of having more weight to move or is that a very efficient turbo? I must know what turbo now.


lets just say that buschur builds good stuff :D

[evil evo]

i wanted to go but i have to work all night so i needed some sleep
i know what i run now if i work enough i can get the turbo and break into the 11s by next import day

[smytty]

Jigga what? Does the AWD help spool turbos because of having more weight to move or is that a very efficient turbo? I must know what turbo now.LOL, Well you figure you launch the car at 5k so as soon as you launch your at full boost.. Then i shift at 7k each time, so the rpms only drop to about 4500-5000 in between shifts... So the spooling time is a split second... The turbo is a br475 secret, secret in meaning there was diff wheels used in the turbo...Also buschur makes some good shit too lol...

[Beau]

I'm curious when it reaches full boost to get an idea of how much usable powerband it has. I only go drag racing for bragging rights and prefer just zipping around on backroads, so if it reached full boost at 5krpm then it wouldn't suite my needs well. But, since this is a DSM specific turbo it probably wouldn't fit an SR.

[Tuned200]

Damn, I missed it. I wanted to go, and thought it was next weekend.

[smytty]

It reaches full boost around 3k, i was just saying when you launch the car at 5k being a awd, you dont havt to wait for it to spool ,as you would say for a race that you roll into the gas.... My car pulls all the way to 7k, this turbo does not give out.... Like my 16 g i would shift at diff rpm range b/c it would just run out of gas

[S13SX]

The most impressive car I seen was the old CRX that was runnin low 13's on a stock SOHC motor. All it had was a make shift turbo kit(and I meen make shift) It had an aerosol can for part of his intercooler piping! They finished the car at 9 in the morning tdday and tuned it on the high way on the way to EdgeWater from Edgewood. Those two guys definately get my respect. The one dude was Dirty as Fuck!! Looks like he was rollin around in mud for a week. It was bad ass though. My next vote goes to the black 1g talon that won something. Was that you Smytty?

[red90AWD]

pretty good day.. nice runs josh.. does anyone know who drives the black 91 awd with i think steelies on it that ran 12.0??? project 7- whats up with your car??? it seems like your car is runnin pretty slow with what you got. you know if anything is wrong with it? i still think its badass. i want one.... ahmed finally got below 15.1 and ran 14.4 in his stock 95 fwd talon. i really like the 2nd gen rx7. the silver one with the HUGE turbo but i saw it runnin high 13's.the silver tt z was bad to. i had a pretty good time. redsleeper just got a secret turbo to put on his car for the next import day that is gonna blow everyone away!!!!! matt

[red90AWD]

that crx was pretty crazy. i saw that on his intercooler pipe. it was funny. i saw 2 guys standin next to it dirty as hell but i didnt know it was theres. smytty what did you run in your car???? and i saw scot run it. what did he run in it??? i saw a red 90-91 talon i think awd with numbers on it.. if your on here what did you run?? or what did anyone else on the forum run??????? matt

[smytty]

that crx was pretty crazy. i saw that on his intercooler pipe. it was funny. i saw 2 guys standin next to it dirty as hell but i didnt know it was theres. smytty what did you run in your car???? and i saw scot run it. what did he run in it??? i saw a red 90-91 talon i think awd with numbers on it.. if your on here what did you run?? or what did anyone else on the forum run??????? mattThe best i ran in it was a 12.1 @118, scot run was the 11.88 @119... The guy that had the black one was a pretty nice guy, i think he won the quik 8... We figured with my car it was pretty much testing grounds for it today,the turbo or the car hasnt seen boost like that for awhile... The car ran a 11.88 on 22pounds.. We still have 3 to 4 more to play with.... The car wasnt showing knock or pullin timing at all... Hell im happy with it, the clutch was starting to slip towards the end of the day.. Im going to replace that and get the 4bolt in and im sure it will put out better numbers...

[Georg51]

The black 1G DSM that ran two 12.0x's was some kid from Cleveland, or at least I believe so as he had a Cleveland DSM sticker on his car. Cool kid nonetheless, and had a nice 20g. He had problems with an injector plug but I guess he fixed it before the bracket racing, which is where I think he won something, but I dunno.


red90awd, the red 1G was a FWD turbo and ran a best of 14.4 I believe, it belongs to John (ObsesseDSM)

[Georg51]

As long as they keep ignoring your lack of a roll cage :)

[95gsr]

the reason you didn't see any real fast cars was probably cause eveyone was at cruisefest. from what i herd there wasn't that many people there. i didn't make it cause i didn't wake up until like 12. so beau just come back in oct. when everyone has nothing else to do and i'm sure you will see twice as many cars and twice as fast.

[dsm4dsm]

Most of the hondas that tried to run were plagued with problems. Josh's car still has so much left in it. Only running 22 psi plus best 60 ft. of the day was only in the high 1.7 range i believe. Factor in a better holding clutch and a 4 bolt rear and ets will def. drop. Wish my car was ready to run. Made me feel helpless just watching other people have fun. I agree with the stis and evos, I was not impressed with any that ran.

The black 1g belong to a guy named Mike who currently resides in Columbus as he goes to school there. He's got a 20g and ran a best of 12.0 at around 117. 11s were within his reach too, but then that injector clip fucked him. On the run where that came off, he managed a 12.0 at 103. Can you imagine what would've happened if he still could've pulled through the traps at full potenetial? The 13 second crx belongs to a friend of Dave Blundel's (can't ermember his name right now). It was running a stock d16a6 (out of the crx si) in a gutted crx hf and was pushing 11 psi on race gas. I heard he did a 13.1 but before that was running 13.6s on slicks at 107 with a 2.5 60 ft. That is just ridiculous and another reason why I decided not to try to turbo my crx.

Adam and I got to run on the way back from ricewater and he pulled on me a bit. My car was running like ass this afternoon but actually felt stronger on the way to the gym later with 2 other people in it. lol. Anyway, today was a long overdue awesome day spent with friends.

[kosoku]

anyone have pics????

[Mister2]

yeah i got there too late as usual. missed the whole damn thing. me and my buddy got there at 3:30 and it was over with. saw some nice rides though on the way there. i was in my white mr2 following my buddys orange mazdaspeed.

dsm4dsm: was that you i saw at the gas station with the silver srt4??

hey all i can say is I TOLD YOU SO

[dsmawd350]

I cant wait to get mine running now!
i cant wait to see yours run,lol i saw the pics of the new setup and bout shit my self all i can say is damn thats a badass car.

[blundar]

I had a lot of fun putting together the car of aeosol cans, coat-hanger t-bolts and bic pen couplers.
I had even more fun tuning it on the highway to edgewater.
I was amazed it did as well as it did consideing we had ONE test run prior to eliminations, and didn't get a 60' under 2.1
I'm glad Tony had more fun driving it than I did building it though. :)

[Mastaflash]

i dont think i realy got my moneys worth. i would have rather spent my 10 somewhere else. i got there late and didnt see many runs. i guess thats what i get though. anyone know what the hell happened to that daytona? i wanted to see that thing run, but it blew up.

hopefuly next year ill have somethign to run.

[mrw8419]

I was there also and saw some FAST dsms. They were nice and pretty. I was hoping to see some of those red turbo hondas run, but after hearing one barely start my hopes were dashed. It was a pretty good time though, but the hot dogs werent worth 2 bucks.

Michael

[CrAzY~LS~]

The 13 second crx belongs to a friend of Dave Blundel's (can't ermember his name right now). It was running a stock d16a6 (out of the crx si) in a gutted crx hf and was pushing 11 psi on race gas. I heard he did a 13.1 but before that was running 13.6s on slicks at 107 with a 2.5 60 ft. That is just ridiculous and another reason why I decided not to try to turbo my crx.

Yeah it was nice to see some ppl that i hadnt seen in awhile....plus the crx that Blundel built was fuckin nuts....did anyone else see that he used a glass cleaner can gutted out as part of his intercooler piping...thats awesome...just shows that Dave is amazing...it was a fun day...

[Interceptor_TTZ]

Looks like he was rollin around in mud for a week. It was bad ass though. My next vote goes to the black 1g talon that won something. Was that you Smytty?

That dude believe it or not was the Network Admin for a company I use to work for.LOL His office was just as dirty, but he's a cool guy and apparently wasn't talking B.S about his honda knowledge.

[Red Sleeper]

I was there.. It was nice. Got to meet a few people.. It was fun, untill my girl started talking about Robs little brother Drew.. So scot told her he was Gay!! she believe him. haha

[dsm4dsm]

Mister 2, that was me with the Srt 4. BTW, notice that Bull was nowhere to be found. lol. Guess his wife grounded him again

[Stang 38L]

Heres a few pics from the show:

[Mista Bone]

How "short" was the 13 sec CRX driver........

It HAS to be Joe'e, we are longtime friends.

He always has some rigged up stuff, finished at the last minute.........

[JIMI B]

Yah thats it.... "all the really fast cars must of been at the car show

It was a smaller turn out than normal, and I think cruise fest played a role on it.
But not for really fast cars

[Georg51]

I think that got Kevin excited as well :p

Michael
I got too drunk and had a huge hangover :mad: Brett's red hatch broke down on the way home, didnt hear if he ran or not but he still needs a tune on 15 psi first :luxhello:

[red90AWD]

it was a pretty good day.. i hope october is better. hopefully my car is runnin then so i can break my tranny or the rear end or some BS like that. hopefully get into the 13's. to poor and too stupid to do any better. matt

[dsm4dsm]

Bone, it wasn't Joe'e. This was the other guy whose name I forget already. lol. Dave mentioned it though in the earlier post. It's the white hf fully gutted. If it was Joe'e I woulda def. mentioned it

That is awsome... I love thrashing, thats when I work the best. I cant count the sleepless nights Ive had working on freinds, families, and customers racecars to barely make it to first rounds.

I was up till 5:30 am last night (only slept 2.5 hours fri night also) working on my car. I almost lost complete motivation cause I was only doing a clutch and going from a 16g to a stock turbo. Took a nap and then finished up right around 10 today.. then on the way to the track the thing started missing and I knew exactly what it had to be.. spark plug wire rubbing on cam gear.. Bought a set of NGK's off of Wegman and rolled out. It all seemed pointless on a basically stock car but its what we do this for... if it was easy everbody would be doing it. It made it all worth it leaving the track with more money than What I came with.

[JIMI B]

OH yeah I forgot the aprt where I dropped that little usless bracket on the AWD's when I was underneath teh car right b4 I left for the track. Busted me right in the lip I was bleedin like hell .. luckily it wasnt even that noticeable when I got to the track

[CivicB18B]

Bone, it wasn't Joe'e. This was the other guy whose name I forget already. lol. Dave mentioned it though in the earlier post. It's the white hf fully gutted. If it was Joe'e I woulda def. mentioned it

Nope not Joe. He had long hair, not sure of his name even though I was talking to him and Dave for a while. They only got 1 trial run because the fuel return at the tank broke so they didn't even have a great dial in. The car looks like it came straight from a junkyard, so badass.

Its unanimous... he has the most talked about car at importday lol

which car is this? please don't tell me the supra

[Georg51]

which car is this? please don't tell me the supra

His GSX, every run he made we were like, "Damn, still hasn't broken 12's"

[Mista Bone]

Bone, it wasn't Joe'e. This was the other guy whose name I forget already. lol. Dave mentioned it though in the earlier post. It's the white hf fully gutted. If it was Joe'e I woulda def. mentioned it

You mean a HB not a CRX, that would have been Tony Fowee.

[NOLV4V8]

i cant wait to see yours run,lol i saw the pics of the new setup and bout shit my self all i can say is damn thats a badass car.


thanks man

if you got a copy of those pics taht would be sweet if i could see em





does anyone have any pictures of the cars other than those that showed? such as the cars racing etc?

[9secondtalon]

I was there.. It was nice. Got to meet a few people.. It was fun, untill my girl started talking about Robs little brother Drew.. So scot told her he was Gay!! she believe him. haha

You mean she couldn't tell from the stretch marks around Drews mouth? :hump:
Glad I could help out on that situation.

[tegiteasy]

If that is the best Cincinnati has to offer then that is pathetic.

no offense, but seeing as you didn't run your car, picking on those who did doesn't quite seem appropriate. I didn't run my car either so I have no room to talk. now I will admit that those 19s civics were pretty bad.


and just out of curiousity does anyone know if its possible for a srt-4 to shift and not backfire!! everytime they went down the track sounded like a gun range.

[9secondtalon]

I had a great time at the event and want to say congrats to Josh on getting to the 12.1's and with a little more seat time and a little better boost you will have to park it until you get a cage. :luxhello: Why is it lately all the cars I build need cages? Robs car looked even better under sunlight rather than shop lights, anyone have pics of it to post? The black 1G that Mike owns was fast and congrats to him on winning the Quick 8. Looked to be a good turn out, BUT the October Import Day will be bigger. I know my car will be done and by then should be into some sick numbers. Who knows, maybe Rob, Josh & Brandon will all have cages and will be deepier in the 11's.

[dunny]

and just out of curiousity does anyone know if its possible for a srt-4 to shift and not backfire!! everytime they went down the track sounded like a gun range.

The backfires occur when power shifting. It happens every time with stage 1 SRT4s, and I don't know how frequent it happens on stock ecu cars. I power shift into 3rd and 4th each run. I guess it has something to do with leaving your foot on the gas and jamming it into the next gear. It definitely helps because there is no boost drop between gears :luxhello:

[dsmawd350]

thanks man

if you got a copy of those pics taht would be sweet if i could see em

[g t]

I was hoping to see some of those red turbo hondas run, but after hearing one barely start my hopes were dashed.

you and me both...I have the red coupe. I got two clean passes all day, and they were the first two. I ran 13 psi on both of them with a street ignition map. First pass was 13.8@109 and the second was 13.5@111. I turned up the boost to 17 psi and put in my race gas ignition map. As soon as I did I found some serious problems. Still netted me a 13.1@92 mph but the igntion just fell apart on me. 7k in third broke up and I didn't even get to 100 mph in 4th. Damn shame, it would have been a deep 12 second pass.

It turns out I had a bad batch of c16. When I finally got it started, it died again on the side of the road. A friend of mine ran up and got me some pump gas (thanks Chris.) I got it on the highway missing and studder, but by the time I got home it was better. In fact, after filling the tank with 93 it ran flawless after burning out the remaining bad gas. I got damn lucky I didn't lose the motor.

Oh well, sucks for me. I really hoped for a good showing....

[boosted17]

pretty good day.. nice runs josh.. does anyone know who drives the black 91 awd with i think steelies on it that ran 12.0??? project 7- whats up with your car??? it seems like your car is runnin pretty slow with what you got. you know if anything is wrong with it? i still think its badass. i want one.... ahmed finally got below 15.1 and ran 14.4 in his stock 95 fwd talon. i really like the 2nd gen rx7. the silver one with the HUGE turbo but i saw it runnin high 13's.the silver tt z was bad to. i had a pretty good time. redsleeper just got a secret turbo to put on his car for the next import day that is gonna blow everyone away!!!!! matt



The silver TT z is mine i ran a 13.3@107.77 mph having serious traction problems. I think i could have been high 12's if i could have hooked up. I also went into safety boost a few times as well. But all in all i am happy with the runs. First time in my Z at the track.

[Tuned1]

Rob your car looks beautiful!!! I cant wait to see it rollin.

thanks rick

that RHD car is amazing! Hopefully this summer will be fun!

[CivicB18B]

You mean a HB not a CRX, that would have been Tony Fowee.

It was a CRX. It was either an 88 or 89.

[BookDet]

It was fun but i wish i could have ran but oh well, did anyoe else take pics

[S13SX]

It was a CRX. It was either an 88 or 89.

Yeah it was definately a CRX. But the guys name was indeed Tony. And he was talkin about his other Civic too(the HB I assume Mista Bone is talking about)

[brett]

I got too drunk and had a huge hangover :mad: Brett's red hatch broke down on the way home, didnt hear if he ran or not but he still needs a tune on 15 psi first :luxhello:

yup blew a head gasket i think...not fun. i did run and was disappointed i guess, but no traction (i cant drive considering it was the first time in 7 months) the entire time. i got a lot of compliments on the cleanliness of hatch and was very pleased (thanks a bunch troy/obie). i got to chat with ppl about setups and whatnot too which was a joy. but we'll see when it gets back out about that 15psi josh...

Hey brett, good talking to you yesterday. Didn't catch your name, sorry I was pre-occupied obvioulsy. It sounds like we both had a shitty day...keep me posted and good luck

[eagle 5]

My friend and I got a few vids from import day and a decent amount of pictures. Once I get them ill post them up. I have avid of Smytty's 12.12 pass i blieve it is. I missed the 11.88 and i missed getting the mini van that was doing the burnout. Hell i think the mini van had the best burnouts out of all the cars, other than maybe the supra who won something in the show and did one on his way back.

and those 2 RX7's with big turbos ran crappy times imo. Also it looke dlike no one there knew how to drive an AWD car other than maybe 2 or 3 people, hecne why all the Evo's and STi's had crap times.

[D-Atk]

That was the worst turn out ever for Import Day, there was double the cars last year maybe the October Import day will have a better turnout

[9secondtalon]

Also it looke dlike no one there knew how to drive an AWD car other than maybe 2 or 3 people, hecne why all the Evo's and STi's had crap times.

I ran 11.88 in Smittys car, I would have been more than happy to make someones EVO or STI faster. :laugh:

[Interceptor_TTZ]

I heard you were wheel hopping? Have you figured out the best way to launch and not hop as much? PM me please with some tips, if tuned I'll be running next time around.

[9secondtalon]

That was the worst turn out ever for Import Day, there was double the cars last year maybe the October Import day will have a better turnout

Agreed, not many people came out to play. Oh well there is always October. Hopefully all my DSM's have cages by then and it will be a ALL DSM Quick 8 event. :eek2:

[IRONBULL]

BTW, notice that Bull was nowhere to be found. lol. Guess his wife grounded him again
I would tell you ta suck a fart out my ass, but you'd probably enjoy it. :thumb:

And from what I heard, nobody showed, and all the mopars, and red headed stepchild Disms stole the show.

BTW, you get that 2nd,3rd or 5th gear workin yet? ;)

[vg30dett]

I heard you were wheel hopping? Have you figured out the best way to launch and not hop as much? PM me please with some tips, if tuned I'll be running next time around.

Holy shit, Gary, I'll come back from Atlanta to see this. I heard you got some Drag Radials, just like mine. They work, let me know when you go.

[D-Atk]

Gawd, that car is so fawkin nice *drool*

And Scot, I don't think the EVO owners like DSM guys - don't ask me why - but maybe they think they're too 'high class' to ask for your help.

Even though you're the 4G63 specialist...

[Red Sleeper]

Whens the 12 second Civic going to give the 15 Second Supra a run on the highway?

Thanks FOOWEE for metioning me, I forgot about selling those parts to you, glad they worked out for you.

As for the EVO guys not liking DSMs, I know what you mean. I learned how to tune the EVO from Tym on Daves EVO. Then at Norwalk last year when we rented the track; me, Dave, Tym, and Kevin Lawson all set new EVO records one after the other. I'm positive I could be of help to the guys but I have learned to not go out of my way to offer when not wanted. So therefore I stay away from them, if they want help, then I will be more than happy to give it to them.

[dsmawd350]

i dont know but it looks like you have part of one of their pics in your sig :confused: :D cant wait to see it run

Hell i think the mini van had the best burnouts out of all the cars
if you have any pics let me know the wife wants to see what her van looks like doing a burnout. some people didnt get it but i was there to have fun because my car was still in the body shop. :D

[Joseph Davis]

That dude believe it or not was the Network Admin for a company I use to work for.LOL His office was just as dirty.

Haha, the truth comes out! Admittedly, I've been to Blundar's house, and his workroom's squalor doesn't even come close to mine. ;)

I'm of the opinion that the racegas did Tony's car a disservice, he wasn't anywhere near his octane/knock limited power level on pump. Still, almost cracking a 12 on the maiden voyage is... very impressive. That's some good quick + dirty tuenaring on Dave's part, and excellent driving of a tractionless FWD shitbox by Tony.

I'm rolling up to Todd's in Mechanicsburg in a couple weeks to pick up my mani and IC, and I want to swing by Blundy's to hang out/grab my spindles from him. I'd like to see the CRX, and if you want we can do a tuenaring run or three with my RoadDyno, and get some power figures.

[brett]

Hey brett, good talking to you yesterday. Didn't catch your name, sorry I was pre-occupied obvioulsy. It sounds like we both had a shitty day...keep me posted and good luck

ah got ya man, it all takes time. we should run sometime o just cruise if you are in the area. its nice to put names with faces now, good luck as well and thanks a lot man. see ya around dude

[DEL SLW]

the silver 2nd gen RX7 is one of my friends...
he has a T78 turbo with a Mack Truck FMIC.

last year he ran a 13.0 on 9psi on street tires.
this weekend was the first time its really been drivin in the past couple months. he was up till 5am on sunday installing a water injection setup, and was having some serious issues with it.

basically it really needs tuned bad. it will be going to raceline for a lot of dyno time, and after that, it will be ungodly. even more so than now. it doesn't hit full boost until almost 7grand, and then it's absolutely insane. needless to say it's a highway machine.

9psi on a T78? and it doesn't even hit 9psi till 7 grand!?

Jesus christ someone tune that thing and turn the boost up!

[DEL SLW]

i'm pretty sure it was 9.

i think last year when he hit 13.0 it was 9-10. and he wouldn't turn it up anymore, even though he'd drove it on 12lbs before no problem.

so far he's only street tuned it with a Haltec and wideband

sad considering I push my 14b on the street to 16psi, and it's a baby compared to a T78.

Does he not have the fuel components to support it?

*on a side note*
I heard what you said to Matt when he walked by you with the "Imports Suck" shirt - lol.

16psi on a T78 is more than TWICEthe cfm your 14B puts out. Its not easy to support Bar and better on huge ass turbos. Theres lots and lots of air you need to supply fuel for.

psi is based on motors

some motors only run 9-10 psi.

DSMs can handle high boost.

Funny thing is some make same amount of power on 10 psi as we do on 20

i would love some help i want 11s BAD i have Buschur stage 3 with 272s and it is not fast enough for me what should i do now?

[Mista Bone]

Whens the 12 second Civic going to give the 15 Second Supra a run on the highway?

Cam going in now, then get the clutch squared away.

Working on a sponsership for it (kissing ass!).......

But when it is ready, I'll be out.

[9secondtalon]

Pm me and we can go over what the car would need tuning wise or new parts, you already have what it takes to get close to 11's if not 11's on a good track.

[Mista Bone]

tow him to Norwalk????????

IMHO Norwalk sucks after FFW.

Scot, you know what I mean.

Drag Radials pullling up all the rubber at starting line.

[Honda Hunter]

I think that the fast cars didn't show up because Edgewater's import day is ran terrible. Last year they finally had a quick class, but right before it started they said oh, this is brackets not heads up. They were all pretty pissed. Bracket racing 10, 11, 12 second cars kinda sucks.

Two turbo Dodges also had 11 sec passes, and marion ran a 12.6 in his SRT-4 with bolt-ons.

[93bluhb]

[Foowee]

My question is who donated the glass cleaner....that is soooo funny!

Executive Jet Management.... Damn, I miss taking out their trash. :(

Speaking of which, has anyone here been able to claim unemployment and racing prize money at the same time?

[91crXSi]

hahaha your soo funny scot.... :letitout:

brett man, good times. i felt pretty bad for ya when we were sitting on the side of the highway, but it coulda been worse. oh yeah, you made me late for work too, haha. it should be apart and back together tom though, just confirmed with obie about that. i think i took about 20 pics of the hatch.

all in all, it wasn't a great turnout, but still fun.

scott

[brett]
