Thanks to dajuice27 for "sharing my joy" (I think he was more ecstatic than I was; well almost)! :P

CLTECH: It was good to meet you. It sucks that they wouldn't let you race! You'll get 'em next time!

That's my dog!

He whipped up on a Maxima. A Honda Civic was another. He lost to a 'vette on his best run, but we were happy with the times.

Next month, he'll go for 13's and I'll be there to help cheer him on.

Thanks, guys!

BLACKOUTCL: It would be quite a trip for 'ya. My guess is about 4 hours! Come on up!

morforose3.0: In addition to what dajuice27 listed, my last run was a gainst a 12-sec. Mustang (WHICH I BEAT). He blew his engine (I have the time slip to prove it)! I know he was a 12-sec 'Stang, because I saw his previous run. A WIN IS A WIN! Right?????? :P

Luckyax2: No more mods for now. I'll get a tranny cooler on, and go to a 75-shot. But, I think that's it for a while. [Maybe!]

Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!
Good job on the 14!! Definitly in the "Fastest Cl club".

Now I'd like to see the "stripped for the track" times...
You'll be in 13 territory soon enough, but I'm sure you're enjoying your 14 second 1997 Acura.
Who says you have to buy the latest and greatest to have a great ride?

So Rick, are you going to submit some info to some mags so they can do a story on you? I'll help you out bro...

I'm just fuckin' with 'ya!

I'm thinking about the headers. Though, I won't pay $1100 for them! Maybe a used set????

I look forward to seeing you on ESPN2! Is this a race(s) you've already run, or will it be a live event?

Dust, Congrats on the times!! That 55 shot knocked quite a bit of your 1/4 mile times

you need the comptech hearders bad !! i wasn't talking to you when i said 13's isn't that easy. i was talking to everyone else that made it sound like you can go out and do it in one day. anyway GOOD RUN.
Yeah, I remember you were running 14.7's before you added the ZEX kit. But, it never got to the 13's until you did that 100 shot! You're reign as the fastest first gen will be safe for a while.

There is still a bunch more mods to do. Headers,pulleys,cam gear,vafc, ignition, etc..
