20 bux to run. Cool I will be happy to run you Temo! I am keeping my shot at 65 no need to blow my pos up yet. Its not tuned yet. Not until I get ems.
All I can do is pray you don't get traction until after I cross the finsh line Should be fun. A little tip on showing up and getting in quick. Drive up to the gate exactly at 12:02 don't sit in that big line that goes into the residential area. Make sure to bring your insurance license ect. and a helmet for your sub 13 sec car.

I usually show up in the area at around 11:30 then wait somewhere untill 12:00 hits. After that i roll up to the gates.

How do you guys have the patience for the California Speedway because seems like it takes so long to see the next run.

I am guessing the only places to stock something would be motorcycle shops. like harley ect. I think I am s.o.l. on a helmet. unless I get lucky and can find a friend who will lend me one. I can always save my fastest run for last and get kicked off at the end of the night. I should have started looking on monday.

my first run was a 14.03, i had a shitty burn out.. and horrible launch, the STI i ran against got a 13.7

my second was a 13.99, ok.. burnout, ok.. launch, and i was hitting the rev limiter

if i get a good burnout, high rev launch, and don't hit the rev limiter i could easily get 13.5

i only had time to do 2 runs, i had to jam... next time, im going to have taller slicks, lighter wed rims and know what rpm to launch and a sweet burnout...

im going to LACR next time and maby fontana next month...

LACR = slow track

slight headwinds and elevation make your times almost a full second slower than sea level... booo!~~

but i like going out to LACR... lots of cool people out there...
