He's on www.SpokaneSpeed.net (http://www.SpokaneSpeed.net) as QWIKRNU. I went 6 for 6 beating a supercharged Cobalt SS and an Evo three times..... until I raced this guy's GSX.... lost by 37 car lengths.

All I did was sound good. All the tire spin you hear, is from me. 2.0 60' so traction was not bad. I ran 13.60 @ 103, not that you can tell by this video.

He got a 1.7 60'. What that means is by the time I got the clutch out, in first, he had already won all the important parts of the race.

I messaged him and told him to get rid of that car. He's not getting to enjoy the track as long as I am. I get 30% more for my racing dollar and it costs me less in mods! Win-win.

damn dude. You can't feel bad for losing the 60' time, he is a AWD. He is going to get a better start and beat you off the line 9 out of 10 times

Side Note: It did sound f-ing sweet driving by though

I was going to say exactly what Brian just said. It is hard to beat an awd off the line. Even harder to get a heavy modded awd off the line.

On another note, I think the DSM is cheaper to mod. You can get them into the 12's for under a thousand bucks. Reliable no, but it is done all the time.

Awesome. I just tried to order a wideband again. Still not available. I'll have to try yet another one. In other words, I am still off the bottle as well. I was hoping to get that this week, get a bung welded in and get with Brian Rothmund about nitrous and tuning. Alas.....

We have to run on Friday. If you are gong to be there, I'll go. Your car sounds insane. Neither of us will be at 100% but at least we can practice launching and show off a little.

My boss liked that video. Swing smoked me. I crossed the line about the time he was picking up his slip, probably.
