Nope we didn't have to sign anything, and they didn't even tell us not to say anything. I think they want people to watch for the details so they almost encourage talking about it. No matter what I say happened, it isn't as good as watching it on the tube https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



We actually didn't sandbag it as much as we would like to say that haha. That was the first time we had raced my car, and didn't know how it would hook up, so it bogged hard on the first run. After that, I told matt to put it to the floor, and we did much better. The civic ran nitrous the first race, and I negotiated out their bottle after that. They later said it didn't even work, but I haven't verified that as of yet. I know that last race though, they had 4 lenghts, and we won by at least 6 cars https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Haha. When that civic hit 3rd gear in the 1st race, that thing was pulling very hard. I'm pretty sure that thing was spraying then. That last race was pretty good lol. I take it you guys only had the vehicle tuned for WOT, it appeared it had some starting issues...



I don't have any more good pictures, I wasn't there for the show I was out racing and I just so happened to have my camera...

any details on the car's mods?

The starting problems were that it was at 250F water temps after Matt did the burnout coming back in off the 4th race and then just shut it down. Correction on the Haltech was out of whack, and the fuel was too thin to build compression. It starts ok now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

After I rebuild the engine in it LOL It blew up yesterday or Saturday at Universal Studios when they were doing sound clips for F&F3.



It should do really well on the drag strip though!
