No one is telling anyone not to go to the drag strip. That's just stupid. There's a lot of pressure for the singles to go, precisely because there haven't been many runs. But really, we all have lives. I'd prefer to go road racing on one of the few weekends I can get away, rather than sit at the drag strip. However, after my body work is finished up I"m planning on heading down to Sacramento Raceway to get a few runs in. I have never drag raced before, but Shift S3ctor has given me an itch, and I"m ready to try it out. Hopefully my gopro black will be in by then. Believe it or not, there really aren't very many of us around. I'm sure Shiv will go back to the track with his new found power to set a better time soon. Although, somehow, I don't think you really care about the single turbo drag times, and just like to argue on the internet. See you on the track sometime.

I know this for a fact the car that I drive holds the Stock Turbo 1/4 mile record at 11.3 at 122.8mph. What do you the mysterious Alaskan have to show for your self before you call me out. PS we are not approaching 500whp we are passing 610whp on a 6AT that's a big difference. |

FYI it's a 3 hour drive from the South Bay Area to the drag strip at Sacramento. Then 3 more hours to drive back late at night, plus the 3 or 4 hours at the strip. That eats up a good part of the day. Anyone have ten hours to spare? I don't know about your job, but whenever I have the money, I don't have the time. And when I have spare time I don't have the money. c'est la vie!

cool we are both heroes? Captain insano, props for your honestly. Georgiatech, I hope you get the car going strong, and if you do; if I remember correctly you are in Gainesville, if so and I make the drive on one of my 2 weeks off down there, will you oblige me with your presence at the track of your choice and maybe a roll?

That road that goes to PBIR is perfect for some high speed runs

Just out of curiosity, what races did the ST cars win?

Just a side note: Thomas did miss 4th, so to be honest this was a really close race and I think he would have taken me if it wasn't for the shift. Last edited by Wedge1967; 11-15-2012 at 12:36 AM.. |

I just try to image the person on the other side of the keyboard. I see them reveling in the fact they were able to get a rise out of me, that for a brief moment in their day they were the ones who were powerful and had the last say. Then I think of what tomorrow looks like for them. Do they like their job? Are they happy? Why can't they just be content and confident with what they have, and applaud those who strive further? Then I remember how fucking fast my car is, and the evil grin that stretches across my face when I first feel the g-forces. I remember that I don't give a damn what they think, and that what drove me to the forums in the first place was my passion for cars, and the desire to go faster. Then I go back to where it all started, up in the canyons at night, the cold wind slicing past my open window, a clear sky above, and the sound of turbo spool echoing off the forest below, as I push it faster... and faster... Feel better?

Just to answer your question on other forums no I'm not Shiv. You can ask Terry he met me at the event this past weekend. Enough said. Sikh |

Meh let's see...
I lost to longboarder (s/c M3), but he will have a video of that soon so you can judge for yourself. He jumped the line and I had wheelspin on the inside lane, but he was really fast regardless, and I won't make excuses Mad respect for the guy. I beat another supercharged E9X M3 coupe, sorry I don't remember the guys name, he came up with his friends to the FFTEC crew to ask about the single turbo kit afterwards. If you are out there man, I loved your car. I lost to the HPF E46 M3 by a mile, the guy admitted to having 900hp. I also had pretty bad wheelspin. I didn't really figure out how to do a clean burnout until near the end of the event. I won against Tomas@GIACs A4, not really a fair race but to make it fair I got my heaviest friend (450lb) to sit in the passenger seat. I lost to one of the GTRs, but not by much, again with a passenger and bad wheelspin. I won against a Shelbygt500 in a pretty clean race. I won against one of the 6AT single turbo 335i. (sorry I'm really bad with names and met too many people) I lost to the F10 M5. I had bad wheelspin and thought I might be able to catch the guy, but couldn't quite catch him. The first run of the first day was against a chick in a slightly modified ZR1, I barely lost to her and the running joke was that if I kicked my passenger out of the car I would have won. From then on we called him "dead weight". I lost to Shiv earlier on the first day pretty badly, man I just didn't know how to drag race at all. I lost to Roberts Z06, I'll just post the story I already typed out again here: Quote:
For reference I'll also post CupertinoSteve's results (I think he's 6AT?): Quote:
You guys should really try to make it out to the next event. It's one of those things you have to experience in person.

Thank you for clearing that up And I'm not a mysterious ghost/banned member. Just another enthusiast who spends lot of time at my local track. It seems we took each other for something we weren't lol. I can apologize. And I think you can find in all of my posts I've never talked "shit" about the Vishnu or single turbo kit. I simply have been(along with many others) baffled at the "implied" secrecy in all of this. Water under the bridge FWIW with all the options for upgraded turbos and me being in the market for them, I just wanted to see some everyday end user results as I'm on the fence between Vargas stage 2, RBs, and the fftec
