Basically I was called out on labor day for an 1/8 mile run against a bolt on m6 lt1. How do the odds look for me I'm auto bolt on 3.73 rear gear. I figure I'm in trouble.

I'm going to put 50 bucks on you dude. Don't let me down.
3:73 gears...that should win it for you right there!!!
Hmm I guess I should put money on it then? Lol I figured the auto trans would kill me in a race.
You said 12.8-13.0 range? You know I'm an a4 with stock stall right? Also what would the 1/8 times be with my car cause that's all we have to race on labor day.Quote:

alright then I'm getting more confident now, I talked to the guy yesterday and he has zero faith in a win. he was also saying that the 8.5-9.0 second seems low I think hes crazy. at any rate he said his frind has a super fast boosted civic so I might get a rice race this weekend I've never raced any imports yet, just mustangs. :happy:Quote:

Second run same story but my reaction was a .7ish his a 1.3 or so so I got him that time overall I was surprised how bad the track was. Still a fun day though.
I always have fun at the track....win or lose. Good kill nevertheless.
Yeah times get thrown out when you pull someone that hard I just wish I could've got traction an eight would've been nice slip to have lol.Quote:
