Default Now thats a Ricer !!!



A meet 2yrs ago I was done byround 3 of eleminations so decided to jump in the time trial lane. See a white civic ahead as I enter n think, no problem.(he showed up during elimations) As I get closer though I see tiny skinny rear tire (almost bicycle width) out back and see tires hanging out past the body upfront. Hmm ok looks like a real racehere. Ooppps whats this, damn hes drilled out the rear bumper, has a cage n no interior except a race bucket/5point harness n some gauges on a gutted dash.Uhh ohhh, walking around front I see the tell tale huge intercooler hanging down behind the front spoiler and the fatest slick he could get under it. Ok this is going to beugly LOL sure enough we line up when they callusup. He does a mean soundingburnoutwhile I lite up the ET streets. (street legal slick).Lites come down n bang, hes got me bya good2lengthsby the 60' mark n is pulling away fast as it hits 2ndwith a nasty hammering shift. By the time I hit the traps at the finish he was prabably about 35 lengths ahead of me. Picking up my slip I see the resultsof his warm up pass. 11.5 @ 140mph (post the slip if I can find it). It was the slowest pass he made.The rest of the afternoon it washi 10s@144-148mph . </P>


Last year I saw him run a 9.6 @154mph and he said he got a 9.42 out of it earlier. Didnt see him this year but I expect hes nudging 8s now or running them. Thats just crazy for a civic lol !!!! </P>

LOL, maybe a bit of a drive for u but sure. More than welcome to join us, but we may put u to work on video duty </P>


Thanks The seats were a labor of love that I finished last fall. I put at least50hrs into grinding, drilling, cutting,sandblasting, priming, painting, clearcoats and wetsanding (15coats/sanding6x).Various parts of the brackets werein n outtoo many times too countto get the fit of the crossbarsn seat postions perfect.</P>


I do havea 5point harness but theyneed to be attached to a cage and are technically illegal on the street where I live. No cage (yet) but I have thought about it. </P>
