What's the weather going to be like on that weekend? Got a few friends interested in running although not myself as I don't to run before I get a remap done since I've already ran on my current spec. If the weather holds out should be up for it.

That was sunday day yyeah? Ive had 20mph head wind there before and it affected mph by 2-3mph. You must have had major one.

Sat night was ok for wind.

What HP do you have? what where your 60fts?

Shut up kerbey! your cars just as quick you just didn't launch it like you stole it! and you did'nt have 17" wheels on last time.

If you didn't see gearbox rebuild bills every time you got to the lights you'd be fine lol

I did a 14.4 in the RST at just under a ton.
