<font color='#000000'>Well, &nbsp;I went to Darlington again last Wed night for Test &amp; Tune.

I had 6 races all night. &nbsp;I won every single one, regardless of oponent. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

The first run worried me a little. &nbsp;I was parked in the staging lane, checking my tire pressure and a new (2000-01?) Pontiac Firehawk pulls up beside me. &nbsp;I'm figuring that this guy is gonna wax my ass, &nbsp;but I decide to go thru it and take it like a man. &nbsp;So we adjourn to the burnout box and I do my standard 2nd gear burnout to get both rears heated up (no LSD). &nbsp;I pull up and pre-stage just as he finishes liquifying his tires and drives to the line as well. &nbsp;We both stage up, I look over and that is the last time I saw him. &nbsp;The lights drop and I leap with a .548 light and a 2.058 60'. &nbsp;Hitting second gear I spin the rears, then boost kicks again and I _really_ spin the rears..get off the gas to gain traction again and then full throttle. &nbsp;Pull second out to 7500 and then chirp 3rd (stock clutch ;) Still no sign of the Firehawk. &nbsp;At about the 1000' mark I look over and expect to see him running me down. &nbsp;Nope. &nbsp;I cross the line and look back over my right shoulder to see him over 2 lengths back!!

I pick up the slip and am surprised to see that I have beat my best MPH on my first run of the night. &nbsp;The run was a 14.029@102.27mph. &nbsp;I figure that the Firehawk must have broke or something, &nbsp;but when I get back to the lanes, he is lined up with a Cobra to run again like it's all cool. &nbsp;He got waxed by the Cobra too. &nbsp;Everybody in the stands was going nuts when I pulled that guy outta the hole and put lengths on him.

Best ET for the night...13.87
Best MPH for the night.. 104.26

I need tires

I raced a bunch of imports too... a supersonic blue GSR with gunmetal 95 GSR rims. &nbsp;A blue Talon...must have been an ESi
and a few other cars. &nbsp;NO losses.

<font color='#000F22'>wow, niiiice....I like fast cars. &nbsp;Ive got the engine mounts made and bolted up in my project so all thats left is some fabrication and some rerouting of a few coolant lines and I will hopefully be waxing some firehawks too....not likely though</font>

<font color='#000000'>SaRa is a 89 240sx hatchback with a redtop SR20det.

As far as 1/8 mile times go, &nbsp;you'll see that SaRa is a top heavy gal. &nbsp;Because of limited grip off the line, my 1/8s are in the 9.0-9.1 range at 80-82 mph. &nbsp;However, she charges hard thru the last half and my traps are high 13s at 102-104mph.

Here are a few pics of my &quot;girl&quot; <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

<font color='#0000FF'>Nice kills. I like when imports are fast. Thats a great sleeper. I love the &quot;stock&quot; look. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'></font>

<font color='#000000'>Yup, no traction but the power is definitely there. &nbsp;Your eighth mile trap speeds would render u a mid eighth second run if you had traction.</font>

that color is my signature. &nbsp;Cosmic Black. &nbsp;Any of my special projects or anything different than ordinary..built motor.. custom fabricated turbo kit...odd swap...anything that shows our skill in fabrication, receives that color.

There are a few out there...check out Ben Howard's car (GS-T)
The 320hp 10 psi Civic Si is another....PRicer's 11 second MR2 turbo is another...the 94 Accord LX auto that is now a JDM h22a 5 speed...etc...etc..

and check out this newest entry....TaDA!!! &nbsp;the 2.5L Eclipse motor #1 is done.
