Seriously though, my local drag strip is notoriously slow. I think this was the first time there was not a good headwind.
I wonder how much unicorn semen is left in my motor now

They won't let me run again till I get a sfi 3.2a/1 jacket, aftermarket turbo thing. The track I go to uses NHRA rules, what I find online says faster than 13.99 requires helmet I guess. I was all over 14.00 and even ran a few 13.7 passes and they didn't mention a helmet. Don't even think I had a roll bar then.

I've occasionally pondered going up to Sears Point for the wednesday thing -- I even own a fire suit, but it's got an FIA rating not an SFI one, so wouldn't be legal. Ah well, my transmission would probably hate me for it anyway.

I'd say 16,000 @ 220whp, 10,000 @ 236whp, 6,000 @ 254whp, 5,000 @ 276whp to be exact. But I feel like miles don't really mean much, at least not as much as WOT time. To be fair I've only done about 25 drag passes (mostly 1/8) and 2 autocrosses at 250+whp. And of course the obligatory minimum 1 WOT pull per day, lol. I have to keep adding more power to compensate for the compression dropping

Convertibles 13.49 or faster require a roll bar with side bars, but a permanent mounted hardtop is not considered a convertible.
More rules for cars faster than 11.99 and slicks. Might be slicks that require driveshaft loop.

On the subject of failing 5 speeds.
How does it usually go?
A. Pops out of 3rd & 4th and you have to hold it in gear. Annoying but at least you can get home.
B. Input shaft spins but output shaft does not. More annoying, now you need a tow home. Basically shafted!
C. Case splits open and spits hot parts at you through the floor. Downright dangerous, with risk of severe shrapnel wounds.
Or
D. All of the above.

All of this is correct at Sears Point, come out codrus, I will be there next Wednesday. They won't bug you about 13's until elimination and you try to put that time on your window.

Ah yes, zing, rattle, rattle. I am familiar with that sound, thanks.
You will be way faster than 13 seconds unless you spin the tires the whole time. I would offer my jacket but I think we would both be in the gear jammers class so we both need one.
