You have to realize that they're out there going against the best in the drag racing Evo business. Even though I'm not the strongest Dynoflash advocate on here, I know Al has a sick fast car and he can straight up drive to to 100% of its potential. But he got into the 10s with a lot of hard work, tons of passes, and a lot of experimentation.

Nobody really expected George to roll everyone on the field the first time out, but we all know that he'll be a force to be reckoned with if he stays with this drag racing thing and keeps it up. I wish nothing but the best for those guys and hope they achieve their goals. Success is rarely attained overnight, but when focused hard work and continued effort are put in the mix, it comes in time.


Also Matt, Happy September 11th to you. Thanks for what you do for our country.
EXACTLY...im a fan of boost solutions as well and approve what they do for the evo community...and even though they are 5 hours from me, i will most likely get them to tune my ECU+ or AEM EMS when i get it...

but seriously...if someone wants to be a smartass and dog boost solutions, then just let them do it...if they are wrong, LET THE GUYS AT BOOST SOLUTIONS EXPLAIN FIRST HAND TO SHUT THEM UP...what better way to get confidence in customers than actually providing facts FIRST HAND that support themselves...rather than someone who "heard on the phone" what happened...as far as im concerned, you know what happened just as much as the guy who posted before...until i hear first hand from George or someone else at BS, then i will be inclined to think you are only hurting their business

this same thing happened in the cam thread...i wanted hard facts from BS themselves (which is what i would expect if they want me to buy their products), but all i got was a smartass comment from you and an insuing argument between you and noize...that was NOT what i was looking for...and i will continue to wait on BS to comment on my cam questions...if they fail to do so, i will just buy a cam setup from wherever i can find it the cheapest online...

you dont win over business by letting other people speak on your behalf...besides, people wouldnt be in the forum to begin with if they didnt have SOME interest in BS...and if they dont, let george win them over on his own...IMO you are only hurting him

To make it simple, if I make a stupid comment then PM me. Don't just bust me out because most of the time I don't mean it in a way that it is perceived.

I just got off the phone with George and he wanted a few things posted.

1. He drove, not trailored, his car to Jersey

2. He made two runs
run 1 - He didn't launch and was checking the nos to see if it would kick in - it did and then he let off

run 2 - The nos did not kick in so he ran crappy.

3. He has some sort of oil leak and cracked the manifold on the way there and had to change it.

4. He plans on getting his cage in and fixing it and running at Commerce.

5. He will be at Nopi next week showing his car.

He will post when he gets back to GA tonight.

Give them some time, Alex. I believe that after a few times at Commerce (which is a notoriously tough track), they'll get the car running strong. Good luck guys.

I agree Noize. I'm not gonna criticize BS for giving it the old college try. Better luck next time. I honestly hope you guys get things sorted out. Hopefully, you will also wish me luch sometime soon when I try something new.

that car is a beast...dont forget it was its first time out. Turbotrix even broke, not everyone has the same luck of getting a 10.5 and the record the first time out...which is now 9.7. anyway, this car when finished will be sick, everything is big on it, so im sure the numbers will be as well. Dont forget al also ran a 13.3...

Just got back from Englishtown

Hi guys,
after a 14 hours drive I am finally back.
I can tell you that it was a great experience and we all had a lot of fun, there were so many slowbarus and they recognized that we have a superior car for drag racing.
It was a little bit frustrating for me because I felt I could make it to the top 8 events...
My best run was 12.021@115.41 I am very close to enter the 11 sec club...
If I would have run this during the qualification I would played with the big guys, unfortunately driving with a broken hand and poor planning on my part has something to do with it.
I have to tell you that George had some problems that kept him from competing with the other monster cars, but I had witnessed a test run and it was unbelievable, the red beast will be one of the fastest car of the world.
There is one more thing I want to add: the air and temperature condition in NJ at night are unbelievable, my car at 3:00 am was much stronger , it looks like I was running on racegas, maybe I will move to NJ...(just kidding)

Yes, the key was to do some runs at Commerce first. But we naver got to it. The car was stripped for putting a rollcage on Wed, but 1 day is not enough for that either. At least we know now that the car is good for long distance trips
and that the engine holds the nitrous fine. A set of drag radials will help too
