[quote=PDLTURBO;9402161]Sorry late with this... it's a low key event so you dont necessarily have to be on time for these. but they start at 10 usually.

No problem, It will help for the next time. Thanks for the response

this looks like it could be fairly exciting if they stick relatively true to the concept:

Just stumbled upon this massive thread (and no I haven't read it yet). Good to see folks in the Pittsburgh area, I only have seen one or two other Evos on the road down here in Morgantown.

Turnabout is fair play.

I'm curious about the flashlight drags in Waynesburg too. I've heard about them but never been.

Yeah, I ended up going to Waynesburg. Lost hard. Made it to the semifinals, but lost to a 600+hp gutted/caged Talon. I've raced the guy in the past and won, but it basically comes down to whether or not he gets his car into gear - he's had tranny issues for awhile but didn't against me that day.

I also lost to a blue 1g that I destroyed last year. He upgraded his turbo, went to a built auto, used nitrous to spool the turbo off the line, GT3076R on E85, etc. He beat the Green 1g Talon that I raced in the semi-final.

The DSM boys definitely came to play. I had them out of the hole, but just couldn't keep up with their top end. I think I'm done with FLD for awhile. Just going to focus on breaking into the 10's and going after the stock cam/turbo record of 10.88. Mounted M/T motorcycle slicks on my BBS wheels yesterday - came in at 28lbs, haha. Launching is gonna be intense - just hope my tcase can handle it.

Well...at least you put up a good showing...as they say, there is always someone faster out there. I will probably go to a few more. I am so pissed that I am still waiting for my GSC S2 cams to show up....its bulls**t that this company lies to you in email and over the phone that things are shipping...and they are not.

I have to rethink my upgrade now...as I am going another direction ..just don't know what it is going to be yet.
