12.6 all at like 108 107mph

all with 1.87 and 1.96 60ft. windy as hell blowing at you and cold!!! oh well it was fun met the guy with a red, black evo and a father son group who were realy nice, and of course got to hang out with AL!!! he ran a 11.6@124 and spun all over the place at his launch i have a good video, nasty mean launch!!!!!!!! oh well i get my reflashed tuesday cant wait!!!
see ya guys and hope to see you all back there on april 24th!!!

 

... so where's the video?

 

12.6 what? Any slips to post?

 

I thought Andy ran the 12.6 in oyur car, unless hes lying.

 

Oh yea, almost forgot. GO BRUINS!!!

 

12.6 is pretty good : )

 

unless its Al's evo.. then it sucks

 

Yo...

Mike and I were the father son team.
Nice to meet everyone - evo8power, rebelzx, yellowfever, and Al of course.

FYI - Al's best was 11.61 at 125 and change. He took runner-up in the AWD heads up match race.
On his last run he "slowed" to 11.81 because of a overheated clutch.

The winner was some trailered in beast with Hoosier drag slicks and NOS.
In fairness, it was a nice car, an old school Eclipse, so at least a DSM won.

Of course, while he was packing his stuff up, Mike and I followed Al as he just hopped in and
drove off in his car to get some dinner.

Hey Kev - I hope your boy can get those vids he took on somewhere so
everyone can enjoy.

Finally, the quickest Evo of the day was rebelzx, who ran a blistering 8.8 seconds
with the aid of a leaf that fluttered through the finish line beam.
But he has the slip, adn we all thought he should try and cash in on Al's 11 sec offer..

 

Nice to meet you too, Mike's Dad and Mike ... it was GREAT chatting... too bad it was TOOOOOO COOLLLD ... that I was getting more sick then I already was that I had to leave ... but other than that, I had an awesome time ... see you guys around, especially in the warm weather

Yeah it was a lot of fun racing yesterday. We had some quick evos. Sometimes I show up and there are people running 14's all day and giving our cars a bad name. None of that bs yesterday. I ran a little bit slower than I wanted, but I have a little tweaking left to do so I'm not too dissapointed. I was really trying to breakinto the 12's. I ran 13.0 twice, once with a 1.73 60' and once with a 1.85 60'. On the 1.85 run, I would have hit 12.8-12.9 for sure if the damn tires would hook up! AWD doesn't mean **** when you have 305 ft. lbs of torque at the wheels and snow tires! I think that every evo that ran yesterday won trophies bracket racing. All in all, it was a good showing.

 

hell of a fun day!!!!! and sorry to corect everyone one....my buddy ran my 12.67 in my car i ran the 12.77 so he beat my best time!!! i just suck at 1st and going into 2nd cause i wanna keep my stock clutch good for a while, when he ran i litteraly smelt clutch when we were driving home 3 hours later, mine none, anyway was a lot of fun and cant wait for the 24th ofApril!!!!

 

Let me run it -- I'll get you your low 12's.

 

The DSM only trailers the car in case of breakage, he used to drive it to the track all last season but kept have clutch issues and got tired our having to get it towed.

They are actually Hoosier DOT Street Tires, not slicks and yes he sprays... but so Does Al so not sure why you were pointing that out .

He actually ran a 10.1 @ 143 on his first qualifying pass.

 

AL didnt spray where you get your info from??? i was there in his car.....????

 

I never said Al sprayed on sunday.. I just said Al sprays also. Because you made it out to seem like it was a big deal the he sprayed on top of boost of atleast thats what I interpreted..

But just for a point of reference the DSM only sprayed on 1 run... where he went 10.1 @ 141... every other run he ran just boost because the runs weren't clean
