Thanks Sean! Like I told you when we spoke, Sac's trap speeds are about 2 mph faster then Famoso but to me that's an acceptable margin between 2 tracks. Not all tracks in the us will trap exactly the same and I'm sure most will agree. What's most important is that the ET's are dead on and I will not tolerate anymore of this bs from the haters. I ran Mikes car on both tracks and it appears that Famoso seems to be the quicker track during the winter months. The humidity is much lower and our FI cars love it, where Sac is much cooler but with much higher humidity.

I remember Marcus Frost mentioned this a while back and he was absolutely correct. Humidity plays a huge role on how our FI engines will perform. I witnessed this first hand at my last 2 track days at Sac. My 60' times were spot on to my other runs that were ran in lower humidity vs my runs in higher humidity, I was .08-.1 slower in the higher humidity.

I can't wait to see what your car will do when you hit up Famoso. Given the dyno numbers you posted and the drag setup you'll be running I would expect your car to run 10's if you could put down the power...which you will. It might take you a few runs to find your sweet spot or rpm range at take off but once you find it..... If your running a stock differential I would highly recommend towing your car to the strip otherwise you might end up having it towed home.

Whatever we're tuning!
FLAME THE DEADBEATS!!!!

Anyone that signs up for an event has the responsibility to pay to reserve a spot. If you cannot make it to the event(I understand ***** happens) it will be up to the person dropping out to find someone else to take their place unless Mo or whomever is running the rental has a waiting list.

This is why there aren't many people willing to risk setting up a track rental.

2 people who stand out and put their a55es on the line are Mo and Ahmad!

Props men!!!

Mo you deserve better than this so give them 48 hrs to step up and pay(you are being TOO NICE as usual) or begin the FLAMING of these DEADBEATS!!!!!

Enough is enough!

A Prius because I'm green
Is the differential under warranty? I have the chrysler extended plan, I wonder if they'd cover replacing it with the quiafe, mine clearly is in need of some work!

Thanks Greg, I enjoyed talking to you and watching your beast run.... by the way, what was your best time? Did you ever reach that 11.2x you were looking for? I believe that is the west coast record for 100% stock viper

Hey Mo, my best run of the day was 11.327 and the best trap

speed was 130.92mph. My car is not stock and it has basic bolt

ons like headers, exhaust and PCM (ECU) which adds about 50

more crank HP hence the 4-5mph more than stock viper.

Again, thanks for the great event and I can't wait to run again

at your event.

No problem Sun. I need to upload the video again because it looks like something happened at the very end. I'll do that right now and get the link posted again.

Thanks man, I appreciate you joining us at Famoso

By the way, you are one heck of a driver. Your shifts are almost as fast as DCT

Sun, I am not confident that your car will hit 10s with Quaife and slightly better conditions than we had on Saturday. As Alan has mentioned before, it is only a matter of time.... and I'm honestly glad I'll be there to witness it

Your launch was very incredibly smooth.... almost perfect: no traction loss yet still very aggressive It reminds a lot of Ahmad's launch

Thanks Mo! I'm pretty sure my car is there too granted the DA's and temps cooperate. In due time... You will definitely be there to witness as I can't go anywhere else. I mean if I go somewhere to try and hit the 10 sec club, you'll most likely be there too

I think I had great traction thanks to my friends who helped me at the burnout box. They helped me out ALOT. I just have to practice and play around with the launch a lil more and HOPEFULLY, I can get my 60 ft times down to the 1.5's like Ahmad and Alan!

hah, thanks man!

in all seriousness, i've been spoiled by this private track rental and have seen the light. the ability to test and tune on your own time, without waiting in line and even back to back runs if wanted, is so worth the price of admission! again, i can't wait for the next one and thank you again for organizing this!

I totally agree...I only want to go racing now at private events...And, thanks Mo for setting up the event, even though I ran slower than I did at the last event in November

Mo, When are you going to start the Sacramento thread? The weather will be warming up soon and records still need to be broken, lets get the ball rolling. I'll start a thread and hopefully you'll take over and do your thing.

Did any of the deadbeats pay their dues?
