2014 Buick Performance Group Nationals

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

shoot, I guess you're right. Wise man wunt so wise afterall..

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.

Andrew we gotta see that video..... haha

So... howd it go?

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.

Nice sound.   

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

I love screamers    Awesome

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.
