OK, I understand the slow times due to the clutch but why were your trap speeds so slow? I saw that a 111mph was the best, seems kind of slow for 459rwhp...I know Kyle Bacon's car made less horsepower than yours when he ran a 12.1 (which is slow for his setup) but it was one of his first passes and he kind of babied it but he did trap at like 124mph at the time. Just curious to know if your clutch problem made that difference as well.

We should compile the official Nopistons burnout video and sell it.
maybe we could turn it into some sort of contest? [/quote]

Yes! and then compile the videos form the contest into the burnout video and sell them. [/quote]

didn't you just say that?

i felt bad for your car and your ego, i understand your problems so i say the following without intending to offend, it looked like you ddidn't know how to shift, like some vtec kiddie lol. with that said obviously you couldnt shift cause of clutch hydraulics... also why'd you keep burning up your rubber if you knew you couldnt run good times anyway for that day?

well the runs i got good launches i couldn't get in 2nd or 3rd gear. the runs that i launched bad i got in gear shifting. what can i say i like doing burnouts. i figured what the hell i'm running shitty might as well get some good burnout footage



i actually richened up the car in the morning so i was only shifting at 7k rpm it was running so rich it was misfiring above that. this was the first event for me. if i had the car back to goto time trials this would have been taken care of already. come on this is me remember i have the worst luck ever nothing i can do about that shitty day except do much better next time gotta love taking one step forward and three steps back
