Default Got beat down by TX_SS

Me and TX_SS ran on moday on our way back from Ricekiller twice, once from 30 and once from 50. Each run was to about 110 and both times he put a good 4-5 lengths on me, his car is sick! I know every time someone gets beat they have excuses so here are mine; I was hitting 220 degrees every race which concerned me so i checked my afr at wot and it was 16:1 , my timing was also only set at 24 degrees full advance. Nonetheless it was fun and i have since tuned the car so we will have to run again but he will probably still beat me until I get procharged in a few weeks.

that's what you get for having 8.8:1 compression!!

I raced david once in my Malibu verses his old 240z...I won, so it was pretty awesome. We only took them up to 165mph b/c over that just wouldn't be safe
