haha... ok two srt4s
Yes, we both ran. I got got my best et to date - 13.53 @ 107.24. All runs were fairly consistent (except one where I launched @ too high rpms and got crazy wheel hop - 14.0 @ 106.7). S2 no toys, 3" TBE, AEM SRI.
The silver car's numbers were all over, but he was trying to get used to his slicks.
Trying to work on this FWD thing. Soon I'll get slicks, but I want to be very comfortable with my launches first.

i've met that silver s3 car before. last time i saw him he was running on street tires and doing like 13s runs. hopefully now with slicks he'll do a lot better.

maybe - his runs ranged from 13.6 @ 104 to 13.4 @ 108 (if my memory is working).
The s3 (no toys) install looked very clean - heat shield wasn't even scratched, but something's not right.
Might pay for him to see N2MB.

'So how many cars where there and how many runs did youse get in?' -
Many cars. 4 runs in approx. 3 hours. Only one long delay due to POS pickup breaking at end of track so went smoother than usual for a Wed.
'I thought wed's were always packed house?' -
...and I'm the one who usually bitches about it.
But wife had school, lawn was freshly mowed, ate lunch very late, so I just went.
Worked out OK.
Might go back Fri.
Might go to Atco to see the Red Sled.
Might act like normal adult and work on house projects (nooooo!).

Hey SRTPrince. I'm the silver car and I'm the dad (probably the oldest guy racing the SRT). My son got 4 runs in on Wed. You were correct with the numbers. I think the last run was 13.36 @ 108. We have stage 3 (no toys) and slicks. I was there on Wed a couple of weeks ago and got in 5 runs. I'm the one usually racing the car because my son lives in Staten Island and can't make it here too often. My best run was 13.39 @ around 106. I'm sure part of the problem is our driving abilities but I think I'm going to call N2MB and discuss some things. I did call Jay the other day because I need the code scrubber, since the car failed inspection the other day. Code P0888. He is waiting for parts to make them. I live in Middletown where N2MB is located so I can just pick it up whenever he has it. I also need to discuss the cars performance. I thought we should be in the 12s (I know about the driver mod). I didn't think we were that bad drivers, but I've seen some of you guys drive and was very impressed. I did meet PSIChick last year. I was the old guy who intoduced myself to you and thanked you for respondng to some questions I had on the forum. In fact that's the day you ran the 11.5. She can drive and her car is amazing. I'll probably be there this Wed without my son, so I'll be driving. Should be interesting.

Hey jcblade - good to hear from you.
Went Friday night and got so many runs in I lost count. The track was empty. Kept going round and round.
Hot and humid. Car ran crappy. Couldn't get traction, either.
Might go Wed - have to see how busy work is.
