Iowa Fastest Cars?

Looks like its turing out to be a nice night out. Perfect weather for racing - the humidity. Is anyone else going to eddyville tonight? Wouldn't mind checking out a couple other rides.

Yeah it was a pretty nice night out tonight, but really humid. We went to eddyville and it was my first time down a track, it was a rush. Had a best of 8.7xx at 85.xx mph with a 2.1 60 ft. time. I couldn't hook very well and when it would hook it would just bog way down. I REALLY need a good set of track wheels and tires, because I was just running my 18's with regular street radials a I think it hurt me alot. I think my car could run low 8's with a good 60 foot time on a better night but not sure. I Want to go up to cedar falls because stock 3.42 gears arn't very good for 1/8 mile but it was alot of fun.

Ya it was my first time too. It was alot of fun. The best I did was an 8.9 @ 81 mph and my 60ft was 2.1xx. The car just has an SLP airlid and i did have a problem hooking up i would bog down evertime after i took off. I don't know I think I should of tried just leaving at an idle to see if would be any better. I was nervous tho and hope to do a little better next time.

You guys need to be posting up your 1/4 mile times so we can get the number of cars we need to get stickied
We don't want to be the only state in the midwest without a top ET list do we?

Yea, couldn't make it out either, got to be later before I remembered they were doing that, and its a good 1.5 hours from Ames...I would like to try making a pass or two, never done it in the car, just the bikes. Sounds like I would have had some fun, looks like we had a few other newbies to the track would have been nice.
I hate Iowa, weather is looking like **** for the week again, when Im done next year with my ME degree, Im leaving south, there is no other option!

I don't blame you! Sometimes I wish I would have never bought my house so it would be easier to just get up and move far far away from here. I also have over 10 years at my current job so it's hard to leave now(9 years of perfect attendance also). If I could go anywhere I would consider Texas or Florida because I hear the street racing scene is better there...lol.
