BFG and Nitto SUCK even worse.. We are limited in this street class to a 245 tire or i would be using mickey Thompson which i cut a 1.4x with in my Black car 3 years ago on a lot weaker setup then this.. If they would allow us a little more tire in the class we could get down to 9.1 I am sure..

+1

Great job on the consistancy though Mike not shabby at all w/ the 1.5X's on those DR's

I think a lot of people forget how important track prep is even w/ AWD and 4 sticky tires

Trust me that was the main objective of tonight. Most are content with setting records. To me going to an event to set a record is just plain stupid not to mention you're not going to take home any trophies or prize money that way. You of all should know I won't be involved if the objective is not worth it. I have enough racers/cars out there at every event representing.
Anyway got to give props to everyone out there tonight. Anthony for superb driving as usual and Derek for working his magic with the stock ecu. Everyone's hard work is paying off. We have basically two events this weekend so there's a lot of rounds to get through.

I know speed. the car is nasty still, funny enough is the only one i havent seen or sat in yet soon start forward back up your side though. my project soon ready to come sit up there for a bit while she is built and prepped for battle.

Great job to you all, good you guys are out there still busting *** and racing. There have been a LOT of guys come and go, you guys are still at it, makes me happy to see. Hell we haven't even run yet this year! End of the month for us.

245 tire, no problem, I'm using the Mickey Thompson 245-40's on my car, but in an 18" wheel. They do hook better than what you have though.

How come you dont tune the stock ECUs? Or are you not too familar with that stuff? Just curious as you seem to tune/prefer mostly stand-alone cars? Either way keep up the good numbers!
