Yes I hope to meet a few of you guys from here. Alyssa and i will be at the block party at the host hotel but are staying in a different hotel a few miles from the track. Then we'll be there probably until 5 ish Saturday. One of you will have to convince me to run my T-type...

I'm excited for this event! Especially since it's so close to me.

You should run it. I demand it. It needs to win the "loudest whiner" award. And if that's not a thing, it should be.
Also many vids need to be taken.

I'm still a little apprehensive, but I think I will take the car down the 1/4 mile...someone should be there to take a video! Hopefully the weather will be good enough! I won't be able to go down the track at any other time except during test and tune.

I will win the Loudest Whiner award, and proudly display the trophy!

I'm going to try. Life (home ownership) is putting me through some challenges at the moment. I give it 50/50. I would like very much to see Larry and Ken again, and to meet Andrew.

That man wasn't married, and he didn't win many races.

Just took the T-type down the strip. Being a first timer, I did NOT do very well lol. But Alyssa got a killer video that I will post tomorrow night when we get home. Karma, you'll be proud.

All you need to know right now is I beat a Mustang, and I zero traction.

It was a great time! Not a ton of cars, but there was a LOT of variety! And I got to meet larrys70GS from here on the board! Great guy, lots of knowledge!

So, Alyssa got all 3 of my passes down the track on video. I was not pleased with my performance, but the car did great! This was my first time doing this and I couldn't get traction to save my life, so my 60 foot times are...bad lol. But once the car DID get a hold of the pavement, it TORE IT UP. I still have chunks of rubber stuck to my mudflaps.

First pass ever - beat a newer Mustang GT by half a second.

3rd pass - Solo Pass..this is for all that want to hear a REAL Karma Kustoms M62 scream it's way down the track.

You would have schooled that mustang if there wasn't so much break free at launch.

Oh...she's a screamer.

I'm always amazed at how loud that blower is. My exhaust is NOT quiet and the M62 easily covers it.

I failed to mention the 2nd and 3rd runs I had lowered the tire pressure down to 22 in the front and emptied the trunk. I took it easier on the gas but I think that's what kept me out of the 14's. I KNOW this car is capable of mid 14's....

I'll just never get the traction to prove it haha...but I'm ok with it. TORQUE.

Andrew,
It was a pleasure to meet you and see your car. That is one nice looking Buick and really clean installation. I'm glad you elected to make some passes, addicting isn't it? If you want some traction, get or borrow some MT Drag radials, and throw a little race gas into it. The transmission will be your weak link, but a few passes shouldn't hurt it. I wouldn't get up on the converter, maybe just punch it off idle. You should be able to get that 14 second timeslip. Again, nice to see your car. Maybe next year, we can get a few Rivieras there.
