how did everyone run?

After anticipating for 2 fuckin weeks my trailing arm broke on the drive to the track. bout 75mph the fucker broke and let go of the lower control arm i have NEVER heard of such a thing happening...ended up taking a tow truck home. that's what i get for driving on these piss poor excuses for roads with 1000lb drag springs/struts on the rest of the suspension which has 200k+ miles. I'll see you guys next time

Were you on the side of 64 in a black Civic close to the track?

Car started to pull through the brakes too hard and I had to let it go, and in my attempt to halfway save that pass I ended up fucking that all up too (let off the footbrake but forgot to drop the E-brake at first.. I paniced and made a stupid mistake). I'll be back as soon as I get the launch figured out. Pisses me off, as I had tested it on the street and everything worked perfect.. that's the curse of the track I guess.. shit never works when people are watching!

Damn what was your 60ft? That is a trap to put you low into 12s or high 11s depending on your launch.

2.3's i would come out at 1/2 throttle in first then it would blow the tires, so i would switch to second and the rear would kick out so i would have to completly let out to get straight again then get back into it. I need some DR's bad. Was also the first time at the track with this car

I heard you ran a 13.3 @ 137!?!?! That's crazy in a Bad and Good way. I'd say your top end is good to go... Sounds pretty nasty for a street car.

I am on low boost we havent even tuned on high boost yet. My low boost is 14psi and the high boost will be tuned as soon as I get my boost controller to work. Ask Shue he tunes my car. I should have run better times but I ran out of 4th gear and didnt want to shift into 5th. Plus 22" slicks on a fwd turbo car sucks. I might be out there again in a week or 2. I had my manifold crack for the 23847923856342x and got a hole in the driver slick.
