Even if the guy in the RX7 moved to the class he belonged to, I wouldn't have won. The guy in the yellow Malibu running 10.6's would have probably won it, just so you know I'm not bitching cause I feel I should have won it.
diff rx7 were talking about. there was a red one in muscle car somehow? not that i cared. but yes the blue one sandbagged the hell out of the ws class, made me wish i would have switched classes and just sprayed when i needed to like he did. going 10.0 and 10.1 when you qualified a high 10 is bs

Ahh ok. But I thought the blue RX7 qualified with a 11 second pass?

And you're right, Jeremy.. I did spray only when I needed to. I didn't know how much abuse the engine was going to be able to handle. I was just hoping to be able to drive it back on the trailer.

You are correct Benny. The blue RX7 was bagging qualifications. And Im just givin you a hard time about the spray. Why bother if you dont need it. Did you qualify on the bottle tho?

With a better 60' you see a lower MPH (1.53 compared to my previous best of 1.62), and I'm running 28" slicks now instead of the 27" slicks.

You lost 8mph from .1 in the 60' and 1" on the tires? Damn thats crazy. I gained 2mph going from 26s to 28s and my 60ft stayed the same.

you are speaking like the motor is hurt...? is it? that could easily contribute to slower times haha.

The engine oil is gray in color, and I have very low oil pressure. It is blowing out blue smoke on deceleration, and the magnetic drain plug has a lot of metal shavings on it.

I'm pretty sure the rings are shot.

I told tech guy that swap car's were not suppose to be in Muscle class at least thats what I read. If so they belong in wild street. I did said something but never was crying. We maybe had a 30 sec conversation. just saying if u make rules u have to follow them good or bad.
