So you guys were right...rmr does blow for midnights, you guys that were there saw the launches were **** but I know I had fast clean shifts. First time sucked I was trying to figure out staging lights and got a ****ty r/t and a 12.4 having brooke come say hi made my mind wander lol but anyway 2nd time I raised 2step a lil and was like **** I'm getting a good r/t this time and got a -0.14 ooops and ****ing car did the bog on the launch just was getting ****ter each time waiting hours on end! Thx to the ****** spilling oil in the staging lines and down the track FTL

TOMORROW bbq 5pm Jason throwing 110 s.
12.4 is a pretty good time at RMR. You have to remember the altitude slows you by a good .4-.5 seconds from sea level (more if the car is NA which the evo isn't). That is very respectable. I think that would be the fastest Evo I've heard of at the midnight drags at RMR. I'm sure others have faster Evos and better track times at other places but RMR licks ***** so that's pretty good.

Dallin, did you get me my sticker? Oh and I showed JR Old Greg. He didn't find it as funny as I did. BTW, I gotta funky ball of **** and a mangina, I'm old greg.

A sorry 110 compared to my old ix turbo 113-115mph traps, these utah guys are saying it's a .4-.5 difference with altitude compared to vegas so if that is so then my ****ty run would've been a 12-12.1 there? I'll prob go out again when track is better prepped like test n tune or something better then the ****ty midnights...putting on buschur ported I'm & tb tomorrow n get things tuned up a lil

damn only 110? that means you were driving the **** out of it!! I know your car has alot more in it I trap almost 117(not at rmr) so you should be up in that general area i would think

I really want to get a run at RMR to see how much diff is between there and our track

ill use this as a referenece at rmr with my NA honda i ran 14.80's went to our track with nothing change and went 14.50s. we are about 2700 ish feet up. So i think about 3-4/10s slower is about right at rmr vs say vegas

If So I ment to come say hi but got busy trying to teach Wes how to launch JK Wes Every car is Different I can launch mine and my buddies that I have mest with but yours may be a different story Wes is a good person to talk to on launching Evos since he has probably had the most Drag Experience I know of around are area on here with a Evo I am pretty good on the Street I may say bit I am also probably way to far south for you Wes is up in North SLC he may be able to show/teach you one time

Friend Kris with the Wide body track car and Big Wing Ran a 11.8, Wes Ran a 12.4, and the other kid with the bone stock 8 ran a 14.3 I think. He is new and still learning about the Evo he just got My Best out there with my ****ty setup was a 13.0 not tuned or anything it also ran a 17.3 that same day

Ya I didn't think it was bad but ya Wes you could have improved and done better I think You need Better tires for one and then for a good track and a good launch out of the whole. Other than that Shifting was great and had a decent MPH for what you did

Oh and I do have some Stickers for you too man I will get them to you probably sometime tomorrow evening if I go over to JR's or come down that way

I think Wes's normal MPH is around 115 or so ya at most its a .5 sec difference at this elevation from Vegas.

I saw your evo Friday night its pretty nice. I just bought one a few months ago and may be running a similar set up, I have thought about a fp red but I am not so sure how well it will do at this elevation. I may just go with a bigger turbo set up
