Congratulations to Desired_Speeds!

Congratulations for winning the bracket races today at Infineon Raceway!
Best time of 15.8!

Too bad I couldn't attend due to my missing UPS for my tires and having to go to San Jose.

Pics up soon of the can of 7Up he won from me!

~Cheers~

I watched some of them, and it's too bad that you can't hear the girl that said her BF's "350GT Package" added 20HP, . Fucking highschoolers. Tell them anything and they'll believe it.

~Cheers~

P.S. I ran into Tuck, Jin, and Blane at Quickly's. We were reminiscing about the old 十九街兄弟 and all our antics back in the early-00s. Wilson and Jason were standing there like, damn, we were still in middle school.

I guess I did get off the line fast. I just gassed it at the 3rd yellow (idle at idle) without launching or anything. This was my first time running at the track.

100% well... intake resonator removed and airbox partially gutted running a shitty fram paper air filter. lol Its a 3.2 TL-P, so its the heaviest of the UA's because of all the TCS crap, power passenger seat, heated seats, etc.

so... I'm debating whether to put a Type II intake manifold on it and an ebay intake. I kind of do but don't at the same time. I have all that junk just piled up in the garage along with Type II calipers and Type II heads, ecu, etc.

Yea...the bigger the wheel and small the tire, the less traction and control you will have over the car.

For drag, you want a softer sidewall, for circuit, you want a stiffer sidewall... to a point.
