Not to be a dick, but there were plenty of people who ran in that lane before and after your pass, who were quicker, and had no problems.
DAMN! That race wasn't even close!
Great job to the guys at LMR!!
Duy - you need to work on the suspension on that car (or at least the ramp rate for the boost)....it don't matter how much power you have if you can't put it to the ground...
HMP is one of the better tracks around here....

What's your point? His car's suspension obviously isn't as dialed in as it needs to be for his setup. No shame it that, just takes some time and work.

nothing happen to the car on the last pass. we just decided that we werent getting anyhwere tonight, so it was safer to just pack up and go home..

we had it down the last few times at HMP..we were doing 5.4-5.5 at 136-139mph..we tweaked the suspension and turn up the boost a bit..i think it would have been a very good race if we had run our usual ET...but like i said before, we are not prepared like LMR..they have learned how to get their car down the track, no matter the condition of the track. steven was doing a great job pedalling it down there!!
for some of you guys that mentioned there were cars that were faster that were able to get down the track...those guys had huge *** slicks in the back..i dont think there were anyone out there last night trying to put down over 1200hp with 28x10.5s..

To those who are talking about cars being able to get down the track so there obviously wasn't a problem... Well have you ever driven anything fast down HMP.. It's a bad *** track but I've seen the track go from awesome to **** within 2 passes. It happens at every track.

im going to take the car to get it scaled..and maybe go with bigger tires and see what this car could really do..
