They won't let us enter the same car twice, those fuckers, so we gutted the CRX. Along with the bigger turbo, IC, charge pipe, TB, manifold, shot of nitrous, etc, upgrades. We won't use it all, by any means... Zmax is a four lane track, they are picking a Final 32, and there aren't going to be 32 9 second cars there. We've got 10.5's covered by the Evo and high 10s flat 11s covered by the IS300, so this will target ~10.2s.

fuck ya!
-
good luck, although u probably won't need it
-
Good luck.
So are u going to be driving any of these cars?

It's index racing, where consistency is important, Tom. Do you think they let me near a steering wheel?
-
huh... pinks,,, pussy pink, well i dont like mine pink i like it all red and brown /smell and full of fugas and bumps :-[ now ive done made myself hungry
-
Jason gonna get any seat time in the new car beforehand? Last time the crx was somewhat squared away...
Not doubting Jason's abilities, just worried.
Too bad they wouldnt pick a 12 second bracket, Id bring the Porsche lol. :P
Who is driving the Evo? TA? What about Steve-O's car?
-
No seat time yet, hopefully this afternoon at Zmax if it isn't a total circus.
And, yah, TA on the Evo and Stevo drives his own car. Stevo's got the power to do a high 10, but the car is unstable as hell and wants to steer itself past 12 psi so I don't know how that's going to work out.

Jesus I wouldnt put it past steveo to run over rich and say "it was torquesteer" just for the hell of it.
That would fucking rule.

i have a feeling its going to be crazy out there. i was up there last weekend and the track is awesome but it seem to me that towards the end it was downhill not up. maybe it was just where i was sitting.
-
Nice,
So this is another season of pinks all out? I have gotten rid of my cable about 6 months ago and now get my TV channels via 100 feet of speaker wiring to the Roof.
-
yea its going on right now in charlotte.
-
when will it be on TV? *goes to pinks website*
pinks website blows. looks like you guys are running tomorrow? sweet! When will it air? PAO isnt live, is it?
-
Fuck yeah... I cant wait for tomorrow. Good luck!
-
looks good JD.
So thats the car that Goforth was telling me about. that shit will rip. I want to see Jason throwing up 4 fingers and sayin "four cylinder baby"
That car should sport a RHMT decal on it.
-
I tried vainly to find a xenocron sticker, but alas.
-

-
If you guys get on TV, you need to thank RHMT. Kick some ass out there

Another mystery dvd to JD?

I dont know how the weather down there is, but over here, it couldnt be any more perfect today.

-
ill be going to the all out in MI mid july
there are like 3-5 cars from around me going and like 20 other people that i know going to run just to be camera whores
-
Well, clutch fell out of the Evo. IS300 kicked a shim out from under a lifter bucket. The H22 turbo hatch misfires on slicks (all the load revealed a shitty, cracked dist cap). And the "new CRX" has too many problems from being a new and unsorted car; wastegate does work, VSS doesn't work which scotches boost by gear (if wastegate worked) and any antilag. Nothing wrong with any of then that a couple hundred man hours couldn't fix.
Welcome to cars.

That sucks :(
The full power of Murphy's laws.
No vids I guess?

I was there and made sure they heard when I said Conceptz-X is worthless

cool

so you guys are packing up and heading home, or getting shit fixed and heading back down the track?
-
Well, Stevo scraped the carbon out of his dist cap and went back out in the turbo H22. I had the boost way down so, on 23" slicks, she had minimal wheelspin in first gear and none in any other gear, 2.0 60's with 12.52 and 12.48@117. I turned up the boost in second and third, still no wheelspin past first gear but he completely missed 4th gear and coasted through the traps with a 12.66 so there was DEFINITELY an improvement there. Can't wait to get it to the 1/8th mile and let him work with it more. Also, he'll likely be on TV... he cut a wagon out of the hole pretty hard and then had the wagon come past him on it's rear wheels, dragging it's bumper, super impressive footage; sad to say it's not for his car, but 95% chance you'll see him on TV.
In other news, Tony Palo raced the RLZ hatch, they both did 9.01@167. On the return lane Tony's car broke a cam gear (end of a cam?) at ~2000 rpms, took out some valves. Sucks, but I'll bet there've been a couple tweaks he's wanted to make that he couldn't justify while the car was still together and running so fucking strong, I'm kinda interested in what he does.
Anyway, I get to pull a nice week of finishing this drag car. I have to say I like how spacious the chassis is.

JD I hate that yall had the luck that you did today... Would have been nice to see an import make it to the finals. With that being said it was still a cool ass event. I liked the fact that they were running 4 cars at once. Idk about yall but I had a great time. Does anyone know when its supposed to be on tv?
-
Well if they have a non running car class atleast you can enter one of yours.
-
JD, was the wagon a 80's Malibu, white in color?????
Looking from the tower lanes would be 1-2---3-4 the wagon was in lane 3????
Two angles were shown on Speed Report about 20 minutes ago.
Another run the white boo wagon was in a right lane, 2 or 4 couldn't tell by the camera angle.
-
Fuck if I know, I had sun stroke like usual and was under a tent cowering in fear from the sun. I only know what I was told, and the timeslips I was shown, but I can ask.
