I pre-registered 2 cars, neither one could make it (1 was waiting for parts, 1 has no cage). I showed up regardless. I think the weather scared alot of people away, but it turned out to be a beautiful day like dobe said, minus the strong headwind. Leave it to the weather people to screw things up and 'over forecast'.
Either way, I got some pretty good pictures. I got several of MightyMouse, saw his car out in the lot before he ran. Also got a bunch of other misc pics, I will upload them now and post a link later on.
I really wish I could have seen the Hardcore car make a full pass. Thats an awesome looking car for sure.

the hardcores black t-top car ran 10.13 in the quarter and a 5.5x i believe in the 1/8th on friday...
so your second
too bad you had your street tires on...
maybe today hardcore will get a decent pass on one of their cars... we decided not to go watch but it is still nice outside unlike what the weather said it was gonna be

i ran the tires that are on my car in the pics they are 315/30/18 bfg drag radials.
first pass i had a misfire and let off (crappy moroso wires, tried em one last time.. f' em!), swapped with friends stock wires.
second pass i blew the intake tube off the tb
third pass spun 1st and 2nd and peddled third, held 4th -> 11.3
4th pass nice smokey burnout and blew the lower intake tube off...evidently i never tightened the fuggers since I put the motor back in...doh!
i didnt even plan to run but hardcore got me entered for free.. it was the first day i'd been wide open on the bs3 too.

the turbo is a 76mm from turbo people, thats all i know.. other than it spools faster than the old 80 and i had to have george re-do the downpipe for a 3" flange instead of the 3.5"

huh?
you downgraded your turbo? unless the 76 makes more then the 80 (which it could).
but did i read that right that you went to a 3" downpipe instead of your old 3.5"?
