Don't forget. Hardly 15's plus the only reason that happened was cause the CHICK next to you was super cute. So you had man syndrome pumping and couldn't lose to a girl.

Congratulations Steve!!

Man ~ you should have posted earlier that you were going!? ~ I would have totally been there to cheer you on!

Did you notice that your best run you had knocked aprox 2/10ths off of your 60'?
That's key ~ the old rule of thumb is that for every 1/10th you can shave off you 60', you shave 2/10ths off the E/T.
This is something that I have a feeling most people blank out, and forget when it comes to actually running at the track.

Not to knock your achievement, but my buddy still has you for fastest SS/2.4L ~ all he had was a CAI (really - no kidding, it was a lease);

Mikes best 15 72

I'm sure that if you have enough practice, you should be able to better your current best.

he's not on here on the forums though lol. and ya i know what you mean. my 1-2 shift gets me everytime which i'll be working on for driver mod 2.0 lol. the comment was more directed to a previous conversation on here is all. and i plan on going to race city quite a bit this year to help with that.

was just funny as the conversation i was having with kass right before i did that run. lol.

the last run was just because i wanted to run 1 more time. we sat for over an hour while the track kept breaking.

Man that guy had that SS/SC for a bit haha.

Are you able to go to Race city any other days besides Secret Street? It was soooo busy when I went lol. Probably because it was the first day it was open though.

That's castrol tho. Way different track. I had problems with my 1 2 shift until I moved my seat forward. Once I did that i found I was a hell of a lot faster at shifting
