I was wondering where you went Jose. Yeah there was a bunch of STI's and WRX's there tonight. Was cool seeing everyone out there. Well I got my uncle 3 out of 4 runs so I'm pretty happy. He gave me props and so did I since he ran his fastest run when he beat me. LOL! That run was one of the best I've ever had running anyone. The difference was .0151. That's right, he got me at the line by 1 one thousandth of a second. I think I lost it on that damn shift to 5th gear. The front of his car was right at my door and when I shifted into 5th he pulled dead even with me and when I got on the gas we stayed right next to eachother threw the traps and I guess he had just enough. Was a fun night though. Got my fastest time so far at 13.398 at 98.68 mph. Getting quicker with my shifts. On my last run I screwed up the launch and ran a 13.807 but I tried to short shift insead of redline every gear and was able to get 99.86 mph. I guess shifting earlier helps. Next time I go out I will try to get a better launch and shift sooner and see if I can get my times down.

I mixed nitromethane (base) 20% by volume... with fuel... = crap...

Yep, I went that route also... Too bad it didnt do me ant good either, I was runnin 12.60s @ 107.5 mph, before the fuel additive, ....after was 12.85 @ 104 mph! Although it did work on my normally aspirated car, picked up 10 hp with it, had to run it with a richer mixture.

Jose, are you going to go to the tracks next week friday? I'm gonna head out there to practice and try to get my times down and my mph up. If so then I'll see you out there!
