i broke my car at island once... right after i hung up after calling a tow truck, melissa handed me a beer, now thats hospitality. lol

So did that red, rotary run again?

it ran a few times, never a clean pass though.....what a surprise

I saw it once and after purging TWO N20 lines, it runs a 14 something. :rofl::rofl: And then the next time bangs out a 12 something I think....

The red rotary sounded like a loudspeaker breaking up. The Mazda RX7 was quick and pretty quiet.

Did you guys see the mercedes that raced?

Kasey took the Mercedes? :lol:

no, that CL AMG was hawt!! Ran pretty good, low 13's IIRC.

You DO know why they call him "Lethal Rides", right?

:rofl:

:rofl: awesome pic! Prefect timing hahaha

because he left his child unattended at home while he came to island to not run?

I'm pretty sure he came in with someone.

i think it was his "WT" girl lol

funny, thats emily's boyfriend throwing him off the line :lol:

To the people who don't know who i'm talking about, shes not a member, just shows up at a lot of the north functions with me.

Lethalrides' car looks like Madness410's.

that white 5.0 fox body was quick as hell too

bah. what's the worst that could happen? drop the driveshaft? screw up the transmission?

funny how people are petrified until they get the first run in. then you realize that with street tires on, it's really just like running light to light. maybe a little more traction, but not all that much. you hear about guys breaking stuff once they get the sticky tires on... once the friction element is neutralized, the power has to go somewhere and it tends to find the weakest link in the chain to break.

seriously, unless you car is really tired, you have nothing to worry about running it at the strip. right, melissa? :mrgreen:

right, nobody has anything to worry about. stuff doesn't break.. :lol:

I was worried about the rear breaking or something internal on the engine being as I built the top end myself.

internally, if something was going to let go, it probably would have done it already, chances are you've had it up to 4k at least on the street, its only another 1500 rpm to 5500 (i'm guessing where you would shift an LT1, i don't know). racing on a dragstrip is only slightly harder on equipment than merging onto a highway.

And if something that you built broke, that means you need to build it better next time ;)

QFT. ;)

yeah, the notchback? it had a bigass single turbo....pretty slick setup. there was a black 05+ mustang there too, looked brand new....also turbocharged :drool:

are most of these guys running kits or are the setups 'home made'?

the one on the notchback looked homemade, but you never really know...there are some nice kits out there for them

yea that white one got off the line slow and then vrrrroooom and away he went.
