Import Face Off this Sunday at PRP

[Ares]

Test and tune is open to all, including domestic V8.

I agree, there is going to be some carnage. If it happens, I hope it's axles, and not someone punching holes in the block and driving the length of the track.

My money is on axles and transmissions.

Yep. Lots of broken axles.
I remember the very first time I ever went to a drag strip. I went with my buddy who had a turbo civic, and he took spare axles. Sure enough he sheared one off. He had a new one installed in no time at all.
Now I always bring spare axles for my Focus.

Went to this today had a blast. Trailered the convertiable down for the tnt and made some passes for the first time sence 05 lol. Managed a best of 11.15@ 130 blowing the tires off all day lol.

my buddy did really well in his rx7 he made it to the final

i think it's literally too last I knew :) :)

Nope, you've got 1.5 seconds on me. Even once I get it tuned in nice, I'm going to be at least a full second behind. You were running good Friday night. BTW, I gave a "Bob Myers says more RPM" reference during the burnout contest yesterday. :D

Your car ran great! Not the ET I was expecting when I saw you pull into the beams!

I was pulling for Joel, wanted to see the local guys get the Ws.

Carnage wasn't as bad as what I had expected. I was worried... within a handful of pairs, someone put oil down for a 30-40 minute clean up. After that, there were 2 cars stacked in front of the tower pretty quick for axle shafts, and 2 more for fuel issues. That was about it for carnage, thankfully.

Thank you. Yea it has alot left in it with some seat time and some tweaking with the suspension. I couldnt get a completely clean pass but felt pretty good with what it did being I havnt been down the track in so long.

I watched one of his passes car def hauls.

[MrAudia]

Congrats on the passes! Sad I missed it. Glad everyone had a good time and was safe. :)

Thanks, was just breaking in the new tires Friday ... Later in the night I finally found the MPH I was missing most of this year. New tires was all over for 60' ... couldn't count on them to throw anything at them yet for ET. I tried one hard pass, went 1.55 60' with the front end hiked up, then had a bit of operator error ... The new set-up should work well once I get it sorted.

I was going to come out Sunday to hang out then saw the gate prices. and decided not to give IFO that much money, lol.
