Went to the track a couple weeks ago. Ran 9.4@143mph with much more to go. Next time out I'll crank up the boost and shoot for 8's.

Your local track must know that this car's performance slightly exceeds it's roll cage certification........
So just keep bringing it to the Grove where they usually don't GAF....

Damn nice wheelie... Wow, you almost hit the pipes... Ha.. You are in chi town huh... Very cool... That's where I will need to bring my car soon, the grove. Don't it suck, you live in Joliet and you can't run at route 66. Finally got my f1-a.. Will be bolting it up soon.
Do you know where people hang out and street race these days. Or just cruise? It used to be four corners years ago. It was a huge scene?

There isn't really a spot that guys meet up to race. More than anything guys will set something up on Facebook as trying to get a race off at a meet is non existent. There are quite a few of us that get together at doggie diner in aurora on Wednesdays.

I did drag the pipes a little thank you for the complements and I prefer to run at gld. It's less crowded and the prep has always been great for me. Plus it's super easy to make a pass whereas tracks like Byron you are waiting forever.
