um no, pretty sure I have accomplished enough to ride my own sack thanks. just pointing out no one here has gone below 11.50's in the last year or two.

Also pretty sure my talon beat you 3 out of 4 races that Friday with a whopping 287whp vs 603whp. just sayin....

BS, I still have the slips. You only won when I got locked out of 3rd and 4th after I over adjusted the clutch with a 2.3 60 (13.5 @ 110) and by default because I rolled out the box and got a red light but I still finished first. So its tied 2 out of 4 but really only one counts.

Come on your barely cutting 1.6s on slicks. I did 1.6s all-day in my 1g on All seasons. (12.4@111) pump untuned and full interior

Plus that was my first time at this track, first time launching my car, and the first time drag racing since 06. I'm not trying to make excuses but the odds were stacked against me.

The car was in the power band. It was the POS BM short shifter not letting me shift completely due to the max reduction setting. Every shift hurt me because it caused me to fall out of boost on T3 without NLTS. Doug told me it was crappy but I didn't listen and it killed my ET. I changed it to the min setting and got my NLTS working.

I was just busting your ***** like you were with me. hope you can hang better than that with jokes


I just went through the slips. it was 2 and 2. so I apologize.

I've pulled mid to high 1.5's on all season before with a decent track prep. Big deal though as that was a different day.

Like you it was basically my first time with the talon at the track. I made 1 pass before Friday in the talon. no 2 step, on a safc with 180k miles on the odometer.

That 12.4 must have been slow shifting cuz I went 12.4 at 106 to 108 on wednesday last week 4 times in a row and I was slow shifting...
