What kind of a kick in the pants is a nine/eight second run?? It must be a rush to have the car throw you back in your seat that hard eh?

Back to thread now that loser boy is gone. Yes it is. Especially 1st few pass' of the year, or if you've been gone a few years. Sweat a little, breathing gets a little heavy. Just remember, keep your head back.
My thumb slipped one time when I was only running 8's & bashed my head & knocked myself dizzy.
I'm a lot more careful now.

Deleted the crap. Thanks for the ban.

8's Nothing like getting that 1st 8 second time slip. On Engine only, or even nitrous, you reach a plato and basically cruise. NOT on turbos. 1st to 2nd gear pulls a 2nd wheelie; 2nd to 3rd yet a 3rd wheelie. The car's *** end starts getting low and lower, you can feel the tires digging for traction. Cross the line and pop the chute. Nice !!!!

feels pretty amazing you get to the point where you find yourself focusing on everything. it is an awesome rush take a deap breath let off the button and no more track in front of you, trying to decide if you will lift like you said you would never do or stay in it like you dont want to now that you are in the position to have to decide. it feels great to kick it into high gear and just let it string out there. feels nice it is a great experience.

It's pretty fun, I like the launch the best, that split second where your vision gets a little distorted. Of course on the big end when the car just keeps pulling harder and harder is ok too. LOL
Ok, I guess the whole ride is awesome.
