Nice day today at Bandimere

[john]

Saw some nice cars, got to hang with Bark & Tobi, finally got to meet some pals, and was surprised at the number of 11 second street cars out there.

I made mental notes on who to avoid on the street. :Beer:

The rig that Tobi built for Rich is truely a work of art - very nice job TC's Performance. New driver in a new car and he ran back to back 10.50s at 140mph. At half track the beastie just seemed to get up and RUN.

Sorta makes me want to race again - the smell of race gas, burning clutches and tire smoke was a nice flashback.

Hell ya Very Addicting, Did you run your Sooooob? Get any pictures?

[john]

Hell no. I'm on the stock clutch, and will never never ever never ever launch it on the stocker.

Had the camera with me and hardly used it.

[justin]

Yea was very nice. Little brother is in town so got out there late just to catch a few of the last races. Got a few pics and a few vids as well, will get vids up later. So many Evo's there :o

I didnt see you there. I did see your car, though.

got to hang with Bark & Tobi.

AHAHAHAHAHAAH, Bark. She will dig that.

Glad you came up and hung out for a bit. Thanks for the kudos as well, now that the project (only 60 days old at this point) is track worthy, I actually got some sleep last night. W00t!

Congrats to Eric Peterson who was booted from the sport compact street class because of his traction bars, to go on to win the sport compact PRO class in a car that is 300lbs too heavy for that class. He went up against Rich Loche in his K-Crx in the final round and took him down. Rich with a broken shift linkage still went 11.30 but wasnt fast enough to hold off Eric at 11.0. Good job boys.

I also have to thank my crew, without them the day wouldnt have gone as smooth as it did. This is the first year TC's Has fielded anything fast enough to be in a pro class and two of our cars went to the final round in Pro. All thanks to my boys, Mike Moore, Ben Perlmutter, Taylor Orth, Josh Scott (Martian's PC) and Chris Dye (owner of ClubRSX) for putting forth the effort it took to put 4 cars on the track with very little time between runs.

Sheesh - "Bark". I can't believe I didn't do a visual spellcheck. :)

what were the times for HAI peeps?
11.20's all day, slow 60's due to shitty track conditions. I think I'm cursed to stay at 11.2 FOREVER! :D

[Moe]

Autumn finally hit her 11.9@121, now she needs to work on her shifting. She shifts like a grandma and I need to work on making sure the tranny actually goes in gear.

[M@]

Congrats again to Autumn. My tranny is almost shot. I was having a hell of a time getting it in and out of reverse last night to get it off the trailer. :(

[Moe]

Matt lets turn the boost up on yours.

[M@]

I'm down. I'll talk to you about it this week...

good job! 10's soon I hope

[M@]

Yep, we'll see. I'm not sure if it was hurting me much, as I wasn't watching my boost gauge, but I did have an exhaust manifold stud bust, so I may have had an exhaust leak. Oh well, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Same here. I turned up the boost to 18psi and went from 11.4 to 11.2. But on second note. My compression in the car is still perfect! Ill get my turbo fixed and see if I can push 400 to 450hp this year.

Which car is hers, Moe? Is it a white hatch? Congrats to you guys. :)

That's something I need to do before Friday. :eek:

[doogie06]

Congrats to all you guys, some damn good times out there.

[dcsportsciv]

Well i think im going to be running my moms trailblazer friday cause I dont think my turbo will hold up any longer and I leave for Florida on the 4th so its not something i want to invest in at this time.

[M@]

Ahh, word. That's going to be hilarious watching that. Maybe I should run my truck? :D
