Default *new best*

Just got home from OSW, and am very happy with my runs tonight.

My car is a 98 A4 full bolt on, full weight T/A down to the heavy *** rims on the front.

Mods are

LS6 Intake
Lid
LT'S
ORY
Catback
3.42 gears
TCI 3k Stall
No Tune

Previous best was a 12.7 spining

Tonight it went
First Pass
12.417 @ 109.28 w/ 1.695 60'

2rd run was a waste, spun bad ended up 12.7 @ 109.XX

3rd was 12.46 @ 109.76 with a 1.81 60' Still spun good but I stayed in it

I had a 1/4 tank of gas on the last pass, and also have tools in the back with some other crap, and my big 235lbs ***!!

I think I am happy

He has MT dragradials , problem was the 200 imports that mess the track up. I had a 1.65 60' then a 1.62 on MT`s tonight but my last run was only 1.80 because of all the slow cars messing up the track.

Yeah the track was going away, I did a nice burnout my last pass to get them nice and sticky, but that gutted Civic ran right before me and drove straight through the water box, not sure if thats why i spun or not but I did see that and thought "Great"

Why do they constantly have to do that, can't anyone learn these kids drive around the water box, Hell when I raced the DD, 95 Passat, I didn't go anywhere near the water,

Good times man.

Oh and how else are FWD cars supposed to do their burnouts if they drive around the water? They can't back into it.

Being 98% of them are riding on stock, dub capped steelies with street tires, they can pound salt, then drive around the water box.

I think some of the problems with the imports running thru the water box is that no one has ever told them not to.

EXACTLY, why do they have to get in the water anyway, MAYBE 6 cars run slicks.

I have a 95 Passat as a DD, my brother gave it to me, When I go to the track, they ask raceing or watching, everones heard it, I always tell the Ladies imports are for driving back and forth to work NOT racing, LOL
