Cool

N/As can play too. It's just not as spectacular.
But just like the "boosties," you can work to improve your times and stuff. I'm planning on taking and running one of my N/As, and on cheering-on our turbo tigers too!

Sadly, that's the reality of being boosted. But like the old saying goes, you aint making power unless you start breaking parts. Get that shiznit fixed already.

Wait, you mean to tell me that these cars break? I was lead to believe that only DSM's broke when boosted that's why I sold mine and bought this!!!!

Yeah if you're not breaking parts you're not making enough power hopefully at 500hp I'll break all the weak parts right away so I can fix them and not have to worry about them when I really turn up the boost.

Hahaha, DSM's break the vital parts and 2JZ's only break the weaker parts like gears and such

well for the people that live around Jeff we all know to meet there. I dunno if we will have a location if all else fails just get to Crandall around 5pm or so. That seems to be the deal I will update a bit later to see what we decide on.

It was a really good night for some drag racing action. Good turnout and got plenty of runs in. I finally got to weigh the car with me in it and about 1/4 tank of gas it was 3,715 pounds. Not too bad with a full sound system in the car.

Thumbs up

*Changing CL handle to Spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin until I learn to feather a throttle down the track like a good boy*

Folks, that was a HOOT! N/A, Turbo, Supercharged, Peddle-car....if you've got something you've GOT to join us next time we do that.

A little garage time, pre-trip. Then the caravan out there. An awesome time at Dallas Racing with plenty of runs for $10/person. Then a fun caravan back. Excellent dinner with buds. And a caravan back to civilization.

Then...to top it off...on the way home our group is challenged by a Chevy pickup with one of the largest wings this side of aircraft - maybe bigger - on his tailgate. HYSTERICAL!!! He did "ricer flyby" after ricer flyby on us.

Thanks guys! Much love to the NTL!
