like i said before i highly doubt the car is making 550 in utah hence why i didnt expect to run any low 11's there. With a set of say hoosiers or something i know i would of been low 11's there if i had been getting 1.5 60's

when the corrected elevation at 7k+ and track prep that was not all that great hardly anyone was running great times last night

another thing is ET has nothing to do with hp number but trap speed does

Id love to see some guys come down from Utah to Boise for our Import Summer jam at firebird.
This track BLOWS rmr out of the water, if you want to race on a nicely prepped track where the staff treats imports with respect and your car will run faster times then you should come down
racing starts around 4pm, goes into the night i want to say cost is 25.00 to race


after this weekend i dont think ill race at RMR again, the staff there are a bunch of ******

pardon my ignorance but what do you mean by corrected elevation 7k+?

Well... That depends on your definition of "racing" I would think an avid autocrosser would think the same way.

Yep, that's surprising too, a lot of times I hear it being corrected to well over 8k.

I don't drag race, I feel its a pagan religion, a cult even. Just kidding!
Yes on the Boise side of things. Nice track, if you get up super early and plan on spending the night, going up through part of the Idaho farmland is actually a fairly pretty Interstate drive.

As for us Utards, I still meet people that say, "ya I've been near dere race track that feller Larry Miller put up." ... "Drag raced mah PoS Chevelle back in the day." ... "I theenk dey calls it Rockey Mountin' Raceway now." ... and I just roll my eyes.

But thanks for all of those keeping the Evo thing alive, "some" race at a time.

Cache Valley Crusin' anybody up in Logan this next weekend?

Mark Miller Subaru FTW.

So I take my car in to get pads replaced under the wear item warranty (3yr/35k on 2008+ Subarus). Well with the springs and the giant spacers they said that Subaru would more than likely deny the warranty, and wind up flagging the car for other warranty claims. The dude was nice enough to tell me to take it back to stock so they could take pictures and send em in. What a badass.

I feel bad that I'm going to take the car back and just do aftermarket pads myself now though... Swapping the springs is not an easy fun task. (He said he could probably take off the spacers and have it be no big deal, apparently those spacers would also "fail safety", but I think that's a bit ridiculous of him to say that).
