All dressed up, and noone to kill.

Popped on the Drag Radials and went hunting and found nothing but Murphy's Law. NOTHING!!!

Fun launches though, gosh those draggers bite. I know everyone talks and talks about MT's, but man those DR's blow away PS2's on launces.....heh heh, til it rains.

Oh well, all ricers are safe for the night.

You guys live in the wrong area... Here in SoCal, there are plenty of contenders.

this is true i picked up my 55 in long beach and on the way home (nor-cal) the second i got on the freeway i spotted 2 older version M-5s and on the test drive a porsche flew by us. the m-5s looked over at me and probably wouldnt race but the porsche would of no problem. to bad i only had the car 5 minutes i would of loved to run the porsche.

My first 2 days of ownership saw a 911C4s, dinan E39 M5, '03 Cobra....then virtually nothing since!

Where is everyone hiding?

Try moving to Texas. Nothing here to race, except pickup trucks with loud dual exhausts. Watch out though, it might have a hemi and then you're done for because pickup trucks with hemis are the fastest drag racers around...

You'd be surprised. I know plenty of trucks here that'll do 100 in less than a few seconds

I don't doubt it, however out where I am it's mostly trucks with lift kits and huge tires. Not exactly something you'd go fast in, but hey they're loud enough to wake the dead so they must be fast right? Right?

Obviously you haven't taken physics.

The equation is

noise of vehicle^2 = power*pi*sqrt(2)
It's an exponential function. The equation is ^3 on cars less than an inch of the ground and made in Japan that are FWD with massive rear wings.

I'll be up there in a couple of weeks. I'd be happy to help you break in your DR's!

What brand...Nitto's..BFG's? I have Nittos on my F-body. They're great for the first couple of weeks but they harden up and then aren't very sticky. Make sure you do a good burn out.

I ran a 997 TT this week on the freeway and on the street. Pulled him all 4 runs (3 on the freeway and 1 on the street). I knew he was a "player" because his license plate read "SPDFREK." When we pulled over to talk I let him in on my Renntech secret. He said that when his lease is up he wants to get an E63. I say, "Good for him!"

Word spread that there was a new 55k in town and everyone scattered...
