[avgas]

little T bucket, hot rod 10.5 @ 127 mph I think, off the top of my head, hoping for mid to low 9's this season with the aid of the magic yellow bottle

[ceasar]

97 Maxima SE
best et - 14.1
best mph - 99.76

[avgas]

hey your out there, doing it, and having fun, thats the main thing, times arent that important, its the having fun that counts. you can get more serious with it over time, but the more serious you get, the less fun you have.

[nos]

I beg to differ Alan. You can still have a blast and be competitive too. We do.

[slave]

Naaa. I'm with Avgas on this one. Oh, hell yes i still have fun, when i get to race, but the best racing fun our team ever had was when it was simple..
as we got more serious the more work between rounds, the more stress , the more money between seasons ,mmmmmmmmm
I remember DYO in my hot rod ford...fun and more fun.
Dont get me wrong,, more serious and going faster is a great buzz also, but there is a fine line between fun and pleasure.

[avgas]

Im just saying that bit by bit, as you get more serious, you have to become more business like, and it maybe becomes more of a chore, and you get more competitive and so on and so on, until your stressed about money for the car, stressed about team work, getting stuff done, the car performing, you performing, whos going to beat you, what could go wrong, and before you know it, your all consumed and busy thrasing between rounds as your ultra competitive car now needs between rounds work, and you dont have time to walk the pits, eating hotdogs, talking to others and having fun.

I was maybe taking it to the other end of the scale, where it can end up for some people, if they become all consumed by the need to go faster or win all the time.

me, I will never be that person, I want to race, have fun, walk and talk and eat hotdogs etc, not thrash between rounds etc etc

New PB for me this weekend just gone
11.98@115mph

[barracuda]

Well done, a very respectable time, and impressive to watch too. You guys can really make those Skylines HAUL!
No-matter how much I try to prepare myself for it, Dave D's backfires get me every time!

[avgas]

I managed a new PB also 10.2 @ 133Mph natrually aspirated, which makes it even better. has to be a shoe in now for low 9's on the bottle

[holden_fan]

just getting ma time card:
r/t: 0.256 (perfect 0.00)
60' mark: 3.595
660 speed: 26.39
660 time: 19.937
Final speed: 26.56

i should say now thats on ma gas scooter, 43cc, expantion chamber exhaust, pod filter, jets to be drilled out soon, when i get some more money a high performance carb (another $200) give me more power. i dunno what the hp is but i think stock was around 2, probbally 6 now. does good skids lol, later sunday i broke the accelerator cable which has happened before. it looked pretty cool and should tinny but the grunty tinny sould if ya know what i mean. im happy with it for now, but more upgrades to come
Next project: a nitro powered R/C boat, im looking at 1 on the net which does 50MPH or something stupid. then we i get even more money i want to buy a nitro powered R/C monster truck which will tow ma boat lol. opps to much typing again, cheers
