It was really nice meeting you guys. I have to say I am very impressed with the turnout you had for a fairly short notice event.

I help run the Corvette Challenge at E-town which is a bracket racing series, where everyone has a chance to win. It started with similar gatherings just like you guys on Friday nights.

It has grown to an 11 race series at E-town where we average 76 Corvettes per event and once last year had 101 at one race.

If you guys are interested in this on Saturday's, I can talk to the track owner, with or for you.

It really is a lot of fun.

Keith (30Minutes),what exactly is this 2003 Honda Civic speed demon model that you have? That model does not seem to appear on any of the brochures at the Honda Dealer.

Yes it was a lot of fun. D, could it be that you were running on stock tires?

na not stock tires. had new set of drag radials that i bought from Jon B. my car is very moody. every time it rains out or is very humid my check engine light comes on and it doesnt run that well. i know from the sound of the exhaust when its healthy. when it get dry out and the air quality is good it runs better and no check engine light. so weird. someone said might be O2 sensor.

D had a great time you guys are fun to hang with and it was great to meet the man (TWIN VIPER)who pulled me to the side and had ask me not to run and out of respect I didn't maybe next time. D on sept.6 one of the Jersey members invited all vipers and friends to a cookout with dj,parking,and lots of food rain or shine has a tent if it rains. Maybe anyone who is not going to Dallas might want to take the ride to north jersey for the cookout. Let me know and will give all the info remember everyone meaning family and friends are welcome...*** BLK

Great time last night. :D I was good to meet the faces behind the names. Thanks guys with helping me with my hood fiasco. :smirk: My first time bringing the car to track after the mods. It was definately a learning experience. First two runs, realizing that I basically had only 3 lbs of boost :confused: which was giving me only 12 sec runs. Fixed that and the final three runs on 10lbs. I have new found respect for anyone who can get these high hp charged cars down the track going straight and without spinning the wheels all the way to half track. I definately need much more practice on dragging the turbo car. I could not leave the line with any rpm higher than 2500 without just massively breaking loose. Full slicks is a must. The drags radials helped but I just totally overpower them through third gear. My race with Dimitrios had me veering toward the wall and then almost crossing the centerline before I just backed out. I was only able to get a 11.7 at 134 on my last run of the night with sliding all over the place. Twinvipers, too bad your car was not there. I would love to see the FE blast down the track. :2tu:

Bandit, Fridays are a really tough day for hooking a high hp car like yours. Too many street tires.

If you want to come out and give it another try, Sunday will be a better day. Sunday is more of a race car day so there will be many big tire slick cars running leaving some better traction for you.

I will be there running in the Corvette Challenge.

134mph in that heat and humidity is pretty good on drag radials. Your going to need a set of et streets.

Maybe when Paul rents Atco we can all get together and lay down some numbers.

Anytime your going to the track, let me know. I'll be there...

You could definitely watch but you are going to have to work on the looking good part ;)
