Default what gives?

so ive noticed that this section is very dead since i dont race anymore...

well, not that i dont race, but that i dont drive anywhere now...so i dont encounter many people...

so what the hell? no one here races now?

i know that moparmanjames runs frequently, but he cant be the only person.

I havent been able to get my car out to the strip yet....as there's been all kinds of shows/racing going on out there.

I'm hoping to post a couple 1/4 mile times as well getting on a dyno here in the next month or so...

Too hot here. I'm waiting for it to cool down a bit + I'm waiting for my new Drag Wheels to show up so I can get my slicks mounted up. Low 13's @ 120mph isn't much fun

11.7 on slicks. 13.2 on street tires (at the track)...

I ran the 11.7's on a set of borrowed slicks. I'm working on getting my own set (just waiting for the custom drag wheels to be built).

Wow!

I am by no means doubting you, but it is amazing that the slicks make THAT big of a difference...

i actually have a question for you Mchat...at one of my other forums..there is some kid claiming that a friend of his has a 585 Whp SRT4, and that persons dad has a "fully street driven, 1000Whp viper"...seeing as how you are fairly familiar with the SRT4 community, are you by chance with someone like this? i know it is vague...
