Default Us 131

Thinking about going up to US 131 Motorsportspark in Martin, MI this Friday night. Anyone else going to be up there for the evening? If anyone from the South Bend/Elkhart/Mishawaka area wants to drive up together, let me know.

i was there in my black WS6 with the mis-matching rims and open cutout

ever since i added headers/ory/cutout i havnt gotten that close to matching my ET and MPH of 12.27@110mph

its pissing me off.

one of the runs i must have put my tranny in limp mode because i launched and noticed right of way something was up because i was ******* out the hole. 2.1 60ft compared to 1.7-8s and it hit me that i was stuck in 3rd gear. 8.9 seconds for the 1/8 right when i finally let off.

sucks that it rained

Yep, that would have been me. That was my worst run of the day and by looking at your previous time you didn't do so hot either...lol. I thought forshure you were an M6 because you were closing in on me fast right at the end. I ran a new PB (see sig) but I wanted a few more runs but that damn rain came

i need tuning bad i think... 800 dollar exhaust for no gain, i would rather keep stock manifolds/cats.

that was my worse run of the day as well because i spun off the line, i raised my tire pressure to 20psi and did a crappy burnout for some reason.
it seems like i can pull better 60' on nittos than compared to MT street radials but i hook more consistantly on the MT's

it looks like fastest club has been re-scheduled for october 15.
