He's a good friend to have.

My really close friend's name is Garmin C330

Damm it forecast for this weekend doesn’t look that promising :cherry:
"Mostly cloudy with a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows in the upper 60s. " That’s second week in a row

Well thats the midwest for ya. I'll try giving you a call on Saturday to see if your still gonna come up. I can also give you a visual to tell ya if it looks grim out here or not. What time would be good to call you?

Around 9am and Thanks thats good idea.

haha the only reason nackers can tell u the weather is cause he fucking lives in the boonies, and thats where the drag way is. Seen any cows latly?

He knows... he came out to my buddies house... which is also in the country. Not quite as bad as me... but bad enough.

Besides, I like my country living. No rush hour, pelnty of open spaces, lots of places to do a little dickin around... its nice. Though I like my g/f place better cause I actually live in a town. Her closest neighbor is a cornfield. That and she has a lot of land with 4wheeler trails... streams to run through... and cornfields/bean fields. Not to mention that they have a second property about a mile down the road that is even more secluded right on the river with 4wheeler trails, make-shift gun range... even has a outhouse .


But anyway, I'll call you around 9 .

^^ the only advantages...


and they are damn good ones

Weather is looking good. Only 20% chance of rain in the am... 10% after 11am.

Grate! Hopping to be there around 12-1p if everyone will be on time lol.

Cool, I should be there around 11. Also, I talked to s240steve and he said he may come out as well. Along with my buddy from Rockford with a Kouki s14. Don't think he'll race cause he's stock ka w/ AT, but at least it will be another 240.

1998-240?

I forgot his actual name

Dustin

o yeah is he coming to the meet?

Yes he is.

The drag day could have been a bit better, but I got 9 runs in (could have been 11) so I can't complain.

Also, I may have blown my turbo seals cause I'm blowin lots of oil. Not to the point that I leave a smoke screen everywhere I go, but getting on the bypass running 4th gear hard I leave quite a trial... right guys .

Rain wasn't a problem at all till we went for food. Luckly it all stayed away from the dragstrip.

Times were a bit slow, but considering the humididty, they weren't too bad. Lots of bad 60' times but Igor did manage to get the fastest time of the day with a 13 second pass. Igor and MR. T (have no idea how to say your name, let alone spell it ) had lots of blown I/C pipes that made for some very slow runs. The one time I got up against MrBackfire, he was on his way to a 13 second run being .2 seconds faster in 60' and 330 than me, ended up blowing a I/C pipe to coast to a 18second 1/4. I was quite dissapointed in my performance since I have been to the track before and was hoping to improve on my best 13.4@103 but didn't even break 14.1@98mph. I think MrBackfire had the best 60' when he raced me with a 2.0 to my 2.2. Ya would have taken me, but my car is just built better .

All-n-all, it was a good day. No major problems and I assume everyone got home safe with no problems.

And Mr.T... get some new tires!

sounds like it was alot of fun.

I took my stock 240 w/ auto tranny to the track and ran a 17.7 lol

I had grate time there it was fun but yeah times sucked big time considering last time at the strip I got 12.9 with 110 trap speed, I just couldn’t put power to the ground my 60’ ft sucked best I could manage was 2.310!!! Next time I’ll have street slicks and LSD.

Yesterday my best run was:
r/t .134
60’ 2.310
1/8 9.024 86.24mph
1/4 13.711 103.06 mph
