no money, no tread on tires. and nothing really done to the car to warrant any gains in time.

not bad...

tried 3 different tunes...

first run was pretty bad, i forgot to take off traction control so i lost all power when my tires started spinnning.. 16.4

second run (1 1/2HR lateR) i had a tune that was supposed to make my car NO-LIFT shift... wow did that not work, worst run of my life. i felt like a retard.. 17.8

third was a PB for me... 16.07 (i know i know, nothin good but)
back to my baseline tune with the fans running non stop, and traction control off... had a black SRT4 until the 1/8 mile, then he went past me...

i couldnt get any traction at all .... i was spining my tires through first and some of second..

Traction always sucks at Race City. I ALWAYS had that problem.

We had a rally to save RC on Saturday. I thought for sure I would see you guys there or at least some of you.

We cruised downtown from Chinook and did about four tours around the inner core then parked all our cars three lanes across 9th Ave making traffic merge into one lane to get around us and make city hall become aware of what will happen once RC closes and that there is a huge following of car entusiasts here in Calgary and we deserve a track to race on.

I was able to take some pics which I will post up later. Here is a great pic I took of my car and a 66 coupe. Both cars were Satin Silver:

My car just before we left:

Totally not everyday that u see the bomb disposal trailer 1 block away from where u work, dunno wtf but damn there was alot of emergency units on site, like 15+ units and that's only from wat i could see on my side of the action lol. From early reports it was an actual bomb threat, probably faked but u never know.

Side note, SPOTTED!!!! 07? SS/SC with low pro wing, black front bowtie, tinted tail lights with custom cutouts, front bowtie also has red "SS" over the bowtie(nice touch, love it!!) I work at 510 5th sw and my 09 SS/TC should be here anyday now.

Didn't even know about it. But I wasn't in town anyways....so would not have mattered! Not that I don't want to save RC...but honestly it is a long shot that they are going to stay around.

Well I can honestly say after having been there a couple more times now, I don't think I want it saved. The complete lack of professionalism, care and attention that's put into that place, I think they deserve to be shut down.

Lets give someone a chance to open a nice place that they will bother to maintain, and actually treat their ******* customers like they matter.
