Well the track was packed, I got there before it opened and still only got 3 runs. I was pretty upset with my own performance too, couldn't get under 2.2 60 foots on my runs and best I did was 15.047 @ 92.17mph 
. At least I picked up 2mph from last time with just the intercooler. Always next time..

I saw you running a couple times I think once with another Volvo. I only got 3 runs in too. Yeah, it was pretty packed and the ricers puking on the track didnt help much. I didnt do too well running a 14.5x, off from my best but my MPH was up there at 96. I need some DR

Hey jerry i was there checking out your car in the pits with my buddy. We loved the way your intake was setup. Keep it real!
And I didnt really see Poik run because I only was there for 1 run of each class.

My first run was against some stockish 80's hatchback Civic with no hood, and I recorded my runs with my in car camera but I have to ******* mute that run because even after I pulled decently far ahead of the Civic all you could hear was his raspy *** no power engine.

Here's a vid of my second race. The one where I did my burnout and then they didn't let us go for like 10 minutes while they cleaned up the far end of the track. Waste of my new tires lol
