60s were suckin donkey nuts. My first one was a 1.75, which turned into an 11.88 (not bad for first run off the highway and almost 3 tenths quicker than my best ever at PMI, but it sucks that was my BEST 60' of the night. I then ran 3 straight runs with increasing traps, and all were 11.8s but with worse 60's in the 1.76-1.79 range. The 4 times were 11.88, 11.89, 11.84, and 11.88. I'm ecstatic about being that consistent and powerful in spite of poor 60's, but I will remain unimpressed until I can get the DRs on and hook for real.
Henry, great job getting out there and nutting up to do some real launches. I'm sorry that I didn't realize you were unsure how launch control worked, but once you understood, you did much better. Great work.
Iboost, thanks...she was running strong, and my nasty shifting has returned 100%.
yea, i should be at the track in my car soon, im still working on launching. but i should be there soon. but i had some friends there, and they said you were tearing it up dude.
I'd like to give big UPs to two specific people for today's events:
1) Tobz for tuning my Evo into a monster like it's never been before. It's not just making power, but it's reliable and consistent. I ran those four 11.8s within 5 hundredths of a second of each other back-to-back in 80* weather with INCREASING trap speeds. I have now gone to the drag strip 3 straight times since he got his hands on it and have been ripping off run after run without hesitation, delay, hiccup, or issue. It also ripped ass on the road course showing that it's not so on the edge that it can't be trusted beyond some drag passes.
2) Big E (Erich) for all the stuff he did for me today just out of his own kindness and desire to help. From the tire errands to storing my junk at the track to bringing my fuel jug when I needed it, he was an invaluable asset as my "pit crew" all day tonight. Thanks a lot, bud...it was much more fun for me because of it.
Clay. I was gettin texts saying u were tearin it up man... Congrats maybe one day I will be at the track. one day... lol.. but sounds like Tobz it takin care of u... he is a great guy. and I heard there was a GGevo that ran a 11.5? I thought it was u from the texts. But congrats.

No problem man!! Glad to have helped. Made my day more useful and fun. Now I'm just itching to get the twin disc in.
My wife was like ... when I came home and told her I needed to get my clutch in. Started yelling at me for racing and blowing my clutch up before I could even say anything to the contrary.

I had 3 1Gs that all went 12.5 or quicker. It was a '91 Plymouth Laser RS-T (fwd, not awd) that got me hooked when I test drove it while looking for my first car. I couldn't get it at that time, but I made a point to purchase a 1G awd as soon as I paid off my first car. The rest is history...
Here is a vid, albeit blurry, of my run against Scuba_Steve - heckuva battle. He was only on 17psi with the GT35R and built motor, since they just got it put back together earlier in the evening. He STILL manages to trap 120 even with the low boost. He hit 10.9 @ 130 before this recent build, so it should be nasty.

nice nice, im thinking about the 35r for my turbo, or an fp-red. it has an 18g on it now. but its only temporary. did you like the 35r? and did you keep it a 2.0 or did you stroke it?
