Good luck to everyone today. As much as I want to be there I'm stuck here at work. I would LOVE to see updates throughout the day! May your slicks be sticky, wind at your tail, and VP be in your tank...

Re: IMPORT FACE OFF- San Antonio Dec 13
Nice race. First import only race I have been to. Alot more people there then I thought. Congrats Aaron on the win and running a personal best et. I cant wait to get my car going it really motivated me to stop being lazy and get out there and work on it. My little boy who is 7 got to see Marty Ladwig's colbalt who ran a 7.32 at 203 and sit in the drivers seat. They were real nice he gets to say he sat in a 200mph fwd car pretty cool.

Re: IMPORT FACE OFF- San Antonio Dec 13
My day started off great. went to my soccer game and did well. won that and score a goal. then made it to the track in time to get 1st round qualifying in. However, that was to be the better part of my day. 1st pass of the day and I think I managed to break the beams. My Pass side axle splines got stripped along with the ones inside the diff. Shitty end to a nice day infront of the home crowd.
Congrats to Taco (Aaron Lopez) on another win and a new PB. To Darren aslo. Thanks to everyone for making it a great car and spectator turnout.

Re: IMPORT FACE OFF- San Antonio Dec 13
well our day had its up and down we started off bad going 12.2 at 144 car cutting up and dropped water on the track so we got a warning... well we get the water leak fixed and get ready for our 2nd qualifng pass and we go out and run a 11.1 at 13x and drop a little oil on the track it sucked!!! so we got a lucky break from cliff and thanks to aarons smooth talking we got in to elimations and first round we run a 10.6 at 14x and all good so we go to 2nd round and we get lined up with the worlds fastest volkswagon.. and thanks to the grace of god he got stuck in 3rd gear and let out and we were in the finals against aaron... so we get lined up and everythoing we get ready to go and we take off and car is pulling good until 3rd and it goes for the wall we get it straight and coast the rest of the way down to a 11.x at 110... so we went from getting kicked off to in the finals its been quite a year and this day pretty much sums it up... congrats to aaron for running a new pb you didnt have to do it against us... lol but its been fun we will hopefully see everybody in janurary at ifo in houston... the motor was making a little noise we will see whats up with it this week

Re: IMPORT FACE OFF- San Antonio Dec 13
well first off congrats to aaron!!!!!! damn bro,you got that car moving. well we started the day off in a bad way. so i would like to thank aaron,his crew and cliff for giving me another chance to correct a problem i was having. if it wouldnt have been fo that i would never have made it to elims much less the finals in fwd against aaron.
id esp like to thank my father,step mom and baby brother for towing us out there and spending a sunday at the races with us. its great when youre 9 yr old brother tells his mom all week that he has dreams of going to the race track lol. id also like to thank my pit crew,bigbadz71 and my nephew from cali ryan. i know i can be a lil short when im trying to diag an issue but thanks for the help and putting up with me lol. we had a great day,a long drive home and a list of things we need to correct before ifo baytown. hope everyone has a safe trip home and i look forward to seeing everyone again in baytown!!!!

Re: IMPORT FACE OFF- San Antonio Dec 13
Wow thank you everyone for the the compliments and kind words!!!
Man my day couldn't have gone any better here's how it went:
9.80@155
9.49@159
9.52@158
9.43@158
I went out today hoping just to get be car back to where i left off after some unexpected problems 2 weeks ago and just putting the car back together Monday night. I think the new intake manifold really made a difference... i was on the same boost level (32psi) as before and the car picked up 4mph! The M&H's 24.5/9.5 are still doing great after about 15 passes on them and Im still gonna run them until they give up. lol Also the PPG dog box has 60+ passes on it now and is still shifting like new! Thank you Erik at Bullhead Gears!
Congrats J (95civicgsr) for making it to the finals... you definitely deserved it!
Thank you to everyone that has helped me out all season and ending it by setting a new H22 record and PB!
