Default Fresh kills with the 402 LSX/L92..

I went out tonight and raced a couple decent cars..
The spot we go to is about 1/8 mile long, not a whole lot of room, but it pretty much gives results..

This is the status of my Car..
Under-Tuned by a little bit, needs some adjustments, coming monday..
Running Salad Shooters with 245/50 Kumo's..this is my Traction issue..I'm workin on it..

The first race was with this cocky kid in a 2000 SS Camaro, A4.
He had a Lid, Gears, small Cam, Headers, Catback, and a shot of Spray, he wouldn't say how much.
We left the line, I got into 2nd about a carlength ahead of him, spun the hell out of so I let out a bit, got 3rd and left him by about 4 lengths to the finish.
Then he accused me of spraying..

The Second was a Modded '06 Lancer. He had Cams, Tune, Boost Controller, Intake/Exhaust, and a couple more things.
We left the line, he got about 3 lengths on me, I spun a bit in 2nd. I got traction and put it about 90% to the Floor, shifted into 3rd then reeled him in and passed him by about a length and a half before the finish.
Again I got accused of Spraying, cause they heard the difference when I got into it..

I finally ran the guy with the '05 GT that I had mentioned before..
We lined up, took off and I pulled him by about 2 lenghts out of the hole, got into 2nd and took off. I looked back, saw where he started Sprayin(he got a 125 Shot), and he broke loose all over, then backfired out the Intake and blew the Intake Box apart.
I looked under his Hood, he had Taped it closed, so it obviously happened before. I told him that he needs to get it Tuned again.

No money went up cause he had a problem..I was cool about it, could of easily taken it though..I'll wait until he gets it fixed right and get him.

It's starting to run very well..I put a Walbro 255 in it earlier, that took care of my Fuel problems, it started running very strong. Won't be long before everything is broken in and seated..

I thought it was funny..he knows why..
He won't admit it though..probably never will..but there are a few of us that know how it is, I'm cool with that.

When I grow up I want to be just like you Kris..you're my ****** hero..

Anyways..back to the thread before it turns into 10 pages of drama..
Lets keep this one on the Title Topic guys, you want something, PM me..(you know who you are)..

^Let the man beat up on a bunch of cars before before he goes up against something fast. Can't put his pride on the line RIGHT away.

What's the difference between me and you..think about it..you got them 315 ET STREETS on the back..I got my 245/50 Kumos..whole lot of traction there..
I would of done the same to that SS, considering I spun the hell out of second, and baby-footed it just to get it to launch.
As far as that GT goes..there was no competition there, I slowed down as soon as I saw him mess up..not even worth runnin out..
I wish I had some Tires so I can get the Stall to actually work as it should..

I beg to differ..

I have 2 setups, a setup for highway rolls..and I have a setup for launches.
Obviously the Sticky's are for the launching, think about the Highway and you can figure out the ideal setup for that.

I'm no where close to any of them..

if you know how to drive with street tires, thats the difference, theres a 408 that went 1.8 60ft on street, i went 2.0 and turned in a 10.0 no tune, street tires. ..just gota learn how to drive it. but anyways...my point is, you need to stop picking on the lil ones, and step up to the big leagues...no more ricers, no more SS's with just a small cam...you want respect for your car, thats why you talk about it so much. it you would quit talking bout it, step up and race some real cars, whether you won or lost there wouldnt be near as much drama between you and everyone else...its the fact you race ricers and slow cars and brag about it...and tell everyone about the stroker...thats why you got roasted in the southern section...you said you got bookooss of $$$$$...go spend some money, get some tires and bring that bitch out next weekend...motor to motor....and anyone who wants to run, they can to...

Holy **** what did I say..
Didn't take long, did it..
The reason I like chillin there is that we all chill, not sit there and play who has the bigger dick..
I hand-built mine and threw it in the car to have fun with. What is so hard for you guys to understand that and leave me alone..I am just tryin to have fun..

You speak of respect..I have no respect for all you guys regardless, so the cars are out of the question. I have the clowns on Base out-classed, I'm not really worried about them..they are too busy calling in bigger cars to take care of something that I merely built at my house..if it's such a piece of crap, why be scared of it..

Keltner had to come and find me..I didn't go to him, he came to me..I thought that was great after he was all about "right to race me" crap..
He already knows what I said about that..

As far as the rest of you guys..shut the **** up and get off my nuts..simple concept..understand it. You guys start more drama than anyone..

Moderator.. please.

no respect for me or anyone? ok ..ill remember that. no body ever knocked you for building you own car, and its awesome you did it, and it still runs, but what got everyone so agitated was you wouldnt SHUT UP about it. that was the whole thing, you bragged, and told the same people at least 2 times. Then after that, you go and bragg about racing slower cars...i personally dont care...I JUST WANNA RACE A STROKER MOTOR...im just a heads/cam 346 with 95k miles. and how were any of my post drama? merely just called you out to come race..never said i was gonna beat your *** or anything like that...so calm down toto

Are you telling me that you ran a 10.0 on a street radial? Post the slip.
