Rules for Road Racing...

1. Stand on the throttle like you're gonna push the pedal through the floor
2. Find your where you think your braking point, drive through it.
3. Count to 10...
4. See God, Brake HARD, Turn in.
5. Breathe a sigh of relief and repeat.
Another one I have. =)

Love it, I also like some of the other ones I heard...

dont run out of traction, asphalt and ideas at the same time...
Don't brake until you see God, just don't meet him...


There are others but they escape me at the moment...

Yes... grreeeat people.. the best. and sure.. i will run your tires too if you want.

Actually, Robert, did you get a cage? you know you need one under 10.99 right, haha

If yours or mine pulls third gear like the stock LS-3, relatively speaking, then both our cars are going to go from 70 to 110 in the blink of an eye...
Ok.. we really didnt get pulled over.. we pulled ourselves over when the red and blues went spinning.. but he was more interested in the other guy... so we slipped away unnoticed.

and yes.. Doug was funny, there is no first gear if you are in boost, second not much better and if I am in 3rd cruising I can blip the throttle and lay rubber all the way up to 70mph.

What gets me is that 60-90 in literally 1.5 seconds... thats how that DFW cop got me, he had to be really quick on his trigger to catch that speed burst cause i braked right after.... GOOD LUCK Robert!

But be careful on the roads - there is nothing hairier than breaking tires loose at highway speeds. You are then a drifter - like it or not.
I like this Tom guy, never really listened to him until i watch the youtube vids you posted in your thread Speedster, he is fun to listen to. Watched the NRE TV videos for 2hrs.

I'd love to see you below 10.99....would be freaking COOL.


Yeah...Kyle's car...1st 2nd 3rd in NO time...and then it's OH SHIT....I'm kinda going REALLY fast in a place that ran out of road MUCH faster than I thought!!! LMAO!

And yeah...I saw him pull out and knew he was going to come for me or that Jeep. Well, I pulled over (kinda quickly) and he went flyin' by nabbing that Jeep....

I want to see how far along Brandi is, but other than driving it, any dyno results and things are going to be probably no earlier than Friday... Corey is going to do the break-in before strapping her down and hammering on'er...

We discussed and agreed, with him building this type of high end build, he would do the break in... He'll fire her off with the baseline tune, put her on the rollers just to make sure everything is good to go, and then drive her for a few days, oil changes etc, and then when he feels it's time, he'll strap her down and creep up to the tune...

It's a pretty amazing process, and I feel good having him take care of it... much better than some place building it, strapping her down and thrashing on her right away...
