Really? Sweet. Gotta get LCA's BAD.... Actual MPH was 87.18

I ran against an FD RX-7. I got the jump on him because he had a really shitty launch (2.400 60'), and it was back and forth a little before half track, but after half track I just started pulling away hard. It felt epic.

No helmet. They stopped me after picking up my timeslip and told me I couldn't run again unless I had a helmet.

No kidding. And this is with stock manifolds and stock lid, that motor is healthy! I bet those 3.42 gears are helping as well. Wait til he gets a stall, lid, and LT's.
