I will be out with my car for a couple of weekends, back to back. One in Edmonton and the other in Calgary. I look forward to seeing the Alberta guys when I am there.

Wow, if you have decent tires, it will be scary.

Looking forward to seeing you all there. We'll have to set up some races..

I will plan the trip so the members in the area will have plenty of warning and hopefully we can make a meet or 2, out of it.
As far as tires go, we are looking at our options for 17 d\r's.

For the amount of bad launches, missed shifts or just plain bad runs, you have a good chance of beating me! Either way, you better get out there this year!!!

Mind if I ask what kind of mods you've done?

Where are you located? If you're close to sea level, with a good launch, you could probably get 13's. If you're still on the stock tires and up in Calgary at Race City, I think the altitude will limit you to low 14's... That's just my guess though.

If you are in Calgary and do get 13's with those mods, then you'll have to teach me how to drive my Redline!

Either way, hope to see you out this year!

well my best run last year was the very day I got my stage 2, so the car was barely used to it, ....no catback...and some pretty inexperienced driving (especially with the new stage2), and it was a 14.5 @ 101

with that kinda trap, and knowing how bad my driving was at the time, i think i might just sneak into 13s this year

14.5 is pretty good! Was this at Race City? I'm also hoping to get into the 13's this year.

I hope to see you at the track at some point.

haha no, the only time i went to race city was when the car was about 3 weeks old. completely stock...and oh MAN did i not know how to launch yet lol.

It was a relative altitude of 5200 ft, and my best run was a 15.2 at 97 lol

it was a very humbling experience.

train your right foot.

seriously, get a feel for how much throttle you can get away with, ive learned alot in the last year, these cars are not easy to launch at all.

failing that, DRs or Slicks will always help

(im not keen on breaking axles though so thats not my bag)

so basically theres not much you can do for traction unless u wanna go with slicks? hm.. i think i have a pretty good luanch down. but when i get stage 2 + other things im not so sure that launch will work anymore
