U.S. 41 International Dragway Sun August 30th Morocco, IN ( Be there!!!)
[
UPDATE
Alright first i would like to say thanks for everyone that should up and i hope everyone had some fun.
Let me first start off my saying that before todays race i went under alot of work lol
I installed a new clutch (quarter master), intake manifold spacer(head barrier), rear diff / driveshaft bushings and a new evo 9 turbo hotside.
I found out my evo 9 hotside had a nice big crack in it
Well i got the car finished in time and off we went to the track.
My first run i completely bogged out the car lol, the quarter master clutch is an art to get used to.
Second run, my shifter linkage cable came off and i missed 3rd gear which lead me to coast the rest of the way down the track
On my 3rd run which was the best i ran a 11.3 @ 120 mph..with a 1.64 60ft
First off i beat my previous time but i was kinda bumbed about my 60ft. With my last clutch my best was a 1.4 60ft, But in all the reason y there r stil hi is because today was my first day driving on a quartermaster let alone launching one.
slip
I am giong to hit the track up asap to get my times lower.
The car pulls very hard and i know by dropping my 60fts the car will be getting very close to its goal
Big Big thanks for Kunal tunning my car and Strictly Modified for helping me out last minute on getting parts.
Time to practice with the new clutch
Alright, lately i wanted to setup a date for all off my friends and the evo community to come down to the drag strip and have a good time.
So finally im making a set date.
August 30th 2009 (SundaY), i would like to see a bunch of people come down and race.
The track will be open from 2pm-7pm which i personally feel is very appropriate for most people.
I believe the price is $25 to race and $10 to spectate
It would be really nice to see a numerous amount of evos come down and play.
But also anyone is welcome.
Even if u want to watch and have a good time, come.
Also note, my main reason for going to the track is to possibly hit my goal that im reaching for currently on my stock turbo.
Us 41 drag way is a very layed back drag strip and they are not strict when it comes to safety. My only request is if ur running 12s or lower i would advice to bring a helmet (JUST IN CASE).
Remember im making these plans so people can have fun time and possibly make new friends.

I'll be there with ya Jeremy.
Justin, the only parts changed were the radiator and clutch since it was slipping. I'm gonna play with it at the track and see if we can crack a 10.999 and back it up :P.
ps. Justin, what did you run when you achieved "fastest stock turbo 8 on gas" and "quickest/fastest 8 with stock turbo and cams"? You can PM me if you'd like, I'm very curious.
