Ok, so three of us made it today, Dean, Ken, and me.

We decided to have some fun, so we raced each other with the "dash cam" in working order.

Dean set a personal best of 6.59 @ 103.67mph vs my 6.82. I ended up running a 6.82 vs Dean, a pitiful and screwed up 7.15 vs Dean again, then a 6.81 vs Ken and then a 6.85.

Ken had the 4.0 pulley on the 3.4 whipple (15psi) and the street tune, but still managed a 6.81 also. My 2.3 @ 16psi with a race tune was about equal to the 3.4 on 15psi with the street tune. But the 3.4 should be in the 20psi area or more, so I think Kens car has a 6.3X in it.

Dean---I am making a video right now--pay attention to the ending when I upload it in a few minutes.....

Paul, if you think that token video makes up for all the smack talking you've been doing, then you're RIGHT!!! It's always fun racing with ya because it's usually a good race. Don I need ya back @ the track asap, so we can both throw down some KB representation!!!

Paul it's almost as fun to watch your videos as it is to race. Nice job!! Next time I will change that steering wheel sized pulley I am running on the street and give a little more for ya to handle. Hey Mark I definitely need tires. I tried the race tune and blew the tires off and ran a 7.20 on my first pass then went to the lower tune and ran a 6.77.

Yep I heard you spun almost full track...:shock:

On tires - you have a 6.3x on your race tune right now me thinks.

Hopefully, next week with me there and you on correct tires, we will bring the crown back to whipple...lol:piano:

Thanks Don---I already have ideas on a video for Barona when we all make it down there. Barona lets you stand near the finish line, right?

Paul - Even in loss - you still look good!

I was losing on purpose because I wanted good video. I could put Dean on the trailer anytime I want.

Yeah our races are usually pretty close. Guess I will have to step up to 18 psi. BTW, I am glad I have a clean slate now, so I will start talking smack---see above post.

OK, but that means the next time I throw ya a beatin, you'll have to make an even more impressive video giving the winner props.

Thanks man; when is the 5.4 conversion mentioned in your sig going to be complete?
