Well I just hit a snag with my car. We pulled the trans last night to install the new trans and clutch discs and one of the plates on my Exedy twin is warped real bad. Im hoping I will be able to next day air one on monday if Exedy has one in the states. Its gonna be close thats for sure.


Hmmm I have one of the SpecII clutches here with a 2j flywheel. lmk

Waiting for them to be posted myself LOL. I dont care about showing the time, 10.08 @ 143mph and a follow up 10.2 at 145mph. Only made 4 passes and the 1st one had to tweak a couple things, 2nd one tried to stall up in 2nd LOL. This is why a guy needs more seat time before running up against the big boys. Still not all in on boost, no spray, didnt even air the tires down. Soon as I get the vids, I will post em.

BTW, Duane your 10.2 aint shit any more. I can officially say that now. I think John is calling you pussy too, get that damn gasket in and get that shitbox to Vegas!!!!!

Firstly, congrats on the times. It only took 4 2J's to beat me by less than 2 tenths. :icon_razz The story isn't over yet. Working on car still and won't be online for a bit...

Starting the drive from CT to NV in about an hour. 2600 miles each way. I'll see you guys there....

If any of you guys get bored and wanna call me during the trip, feel free. 2600 miles all alone, so i sure could use the company ;) If any of you don't already have my #, PM Duane for it. Don't feel like posting it for everyone to see...:)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, see you boys in Vegas. Drive Safe.

I won't be there, as I have class to attend, but I have a good fealing that he will be in front of you, unless he waits a second at the tree. Even if an IC hose breaks, someone has to have a beer can :biglaugh:

I just talked with Bryan and he's on his way with Shawn's car. I can't believe he's driving 2600 miles one way.........twice.........I'd slice my wrists about half way there and just bleed to death on the side of the road.

Hopefully he doesn't run into any problems and he makes good time.

Don - THANK YOU!

WOW! This is getting CRAZY!

The Smackdown payout is now $250 + $100 (John Reed) + $100 (Don Nakano) + an Escort 8500 Radar Detector from Royal Moore Toyota.

In addition... Don has also added to the 7M-GTE MkIII drag classes (AT and 5sp). Those are now up to $350 each.

Did you guys see that Ryan Woon is bringing his Supra out of retirement for this year's event? Not only will the MkIII drag racing be awesome... but the MkIV drag racing is going to be INSANE! This is on track to be the Best SILV event of all time. You don't want to be sitting on the sidelines reading the results online!

There's still time to book those last minute flights or quit your job so you can make the drive (if your manager won't let you off).
