Had a few rotaries show up, Phil with his Cosmo, Me+wife with My FD, StaticPat FD, BNR+wife 1st gen, and 2 I don't remember their names, a Mazda RX-8 Blue that won an award and a primer painted 2nd gen. Nzx20 got us all pizza, that he is going to be repaid for!

Yeah the car is hooking up now. I can tell a huge difference from the last IFO. My best ET was a 11.21 at 126.28 MPH on ET Streets. That was a lift and shift pass. My first qualifying pass I missed 3rd gear and ran an 11.8 at 121 mph. Third qualifying pass I tried flat shifting the 1-2 which went well, but at the end of 3rd I was so into it my finger was on the antilag button from 3rd gear to the end of the pull lol. And I was impressed that it went 11.63 at 110. Ended up qualifying number 2 in the street class behind Brad Grodi in his ttnitrous 300z. He ran a 10.98.

So I went up against a TT BMW in the first round of eliminations. I had in mind that I was going to flat shift this pass and it didn't work out too well! mistimed the 1-2 shift and didn't go into gear. Finally it went into gear and he was 2 cars ahead so I reeled him in and then shifted to 5th instead of 3rd. So disapointed in my driving. I should have just ran a mid 11 and just went through a few rounds without speed shifting. But I lost in the first round of eliminations.

My take offs were very strong, but the 4.88's in the rear make me shift before the 60ft mark. So I will be putting in some 4.30's here in the next few weeks so hopefully the car will be a solid 10 with a lift and shift.
