It definitely is, the drag strips are a good place to find some good street car competition. Try the test & tune and midnight madness in eddyville some night. Its just an 1/8th mile track but still a lot of fun. I have more fun at the 1/8th mile track than the 1/4.

Well the track didn't go as planned. First pass in the car ever ended in a 7.58 at 100mph with a 1.69 60ft. Lost traction about 20 feet out till half track after letting off 3-4 times. 2nd pass I found out my front brake caliper was leaking getting on my back tires causing me to spin most the track.

Next time out I'm hoping for 6.8-6.9s on 3 pounds of boost. Cant wait to turn it up to 10psi or so. Should be a solid low 6 or faster car.

Not sure who that would be. You know how that stuff gets. The car will never live up to what people think it is...

yeah dito on the Eddy trip Friday night..... my car won't hook anymore after suspension changes but it did like the bigger 150 N20 shot - so i'm going back to old suspension setup to see if traction comes back.

Yep we're going to WS6 open house too, we are taking the kid along in the Vette, should be a good trip to jail considering there are only 2 seats, you think rachet straps from the roll bar to a car seat is legal????? lol

See you all Saturday

Anyone know of any decent fishing spots around the west desmoines/urbandale/Johnston/grimes area? Me and a couple of my buddies think we might try to hook some after the open house on Saturday.
