YES I understand what you mean thats why you dont see my name here as Ryan-tech and it was not me who posted my accomplishments on here either Oscar did witch didnt bother me cause he was proud of me my car and the setup it has. yet people cant see 11.4s@119.08 possible on a stock evo8 turbo specialy if they saw the tires we used and the small list of mods i have completed. so i kno exactly where you are coming from. Looking forward to seeing you again down in puerto rico had a blast this past visit. next time i should make some t shirts and bring them for you guys lol

For more than 30 years the guys in PR have been doing this...

Besides how much analysis you can do! Is not like he ran 11.3 @ 118 from a 1.8 60ft! A low 1.5 60ft is a awesome launch. This track is an NHRA certified track and actually is a little slower than the other track (Salinas) which usually is a little less humid and better prep. Things will continue to improve and best of luck to Johnny and all the persons working on his car.

Your own times Warrtalon... usually for every .10 sec you improve in your 60ft, your et's improve by .15 sec (some people use a .10 sec 60FT to .20 sec ET ratio) Anyway even with those estimates ... how much you think your 11.8 ET will improve if... you get a 60ft that is .30 sec faster and shift just as fast...

Now some info about our tracks... (thanks to google Earth) to clear some doubts. Sorry Johnny for the thread jack!

Carolina Speedway (NHRA certified) This is the track that Johnny's Evo X ran. As you can see is parallel to a river and is oriented to the East-northeast in which you get a constant headwinds from the trade winds in the tropics. It also rains allot in this area. That's why is usually the slowest track on the island.

From what I could see the weather conditions yesterday (around the time the run was made) where.... winds from the East 10-12 MPH, Temp 82°F, Dewpt 74°F, Pressure 29.98 In HG... So head winds were not an issue.



This is Salinas Speedway. This track is oriented to the west-northwest. Is located on the southern part of the island (which is less humid as air dries up as it comes down from the central mountains) It's also a little warmer during the day. But winds are not a problem here. This track is also NHRA certified.



This is El Tuque in Ponce PR (southern part of the Island). This track is right by the beach and is oriented to the Southeast. It's warm and humid here. You get a cross wind here most of the time. This track is IHRA certified, the run off after the 1/4 mile is shorter... so you get on the brakes pretty hard (and is the reason that is not up to NHRA specs) There nothing they can do unless you reclaim land from the sea...




There is another 1/4 mile track that is going to be open soon. Right now is only 1/8 mile but the plan is to be a full 1/4 mile. That one is in the north side of the island. So almost 4 tracks in a 100 mile X 35 mile island.
OWNED!!

Warr just because someone beat you again (while its humorous) what with the CSI of drag racing? You set any records lately?


Good job guys, I have to get on the phone with Procco and see if I can tag along next time he's heading south.

What's with the CSI? Uh, I guess you didn't read the thread. There was little-to-no info given to explain the ET not matching the trap, then someone immediately claimed it was on street tires. If you read the thread, then you'd see that my questions were answered after much prodding of Johnny. After getting the answers, it all made sense. Without those answers, NO ONE could believe it other than to accept whatever anyone claims without question.

Yes, I just broke a record at two separate tracks in the last 2 weeks for stock turbo'd Evos at this altitude without nitrous...and you?

Nah, no records I dont need the spotlight action to get me off. When I lived in CO I went to Bandi a few times and didnt care for it along with the 5 hour drive to get there (Gunnison taking 285)

You asked - I didn't make that claim before then. Funny how you can try to knock me with a question like that, then I answer it, and you use the answer to try to knock me again. No idea how you have that much hatred built up over someone you've never met. Get over it already...

So you enjoy knowing you're not the best? Sorry, that was a weak come back after getting shut down dude. Not everyone can be the best...but you're lying to yourself (and us) if you're saying you don't aspire to being the best.
