Default Congrat's to b18bturbo!!!

Congrats to Viren piloting the ImportParts.com/Honda-Tech drag car! Not only running a 9.98 at 140MPH to trounce a wounded Kenny Tran in the semi-finals, but also narrowly avoiding the wall by mere INCHES to take first place in FWD Quick-8 (and the LARGE chunk of change that goes with it ). Absolutely INCREDIBLE driving in the finals Viren!

We had lots of fun this weekend at the Best Western in Baytown ( ). Viren, Richard, Broderick, Ben from importparts, Stan (flamenco), Chris (DIRep), Arturbo, the Deepstage crew, Daniel (ssblue), Joe (falcongsr), and all the girls.

I was only driving for 150 miles, in that time, I caught so many KA band and etc...
plus my wheel bent thanks to the courtesy of Baytown highway... it wasn't too bad but enough to throw off the balance and alignment...
my steering wheel shaked like crazy on the way back.....

but it was all worth it...

hmm, my odometer said 300miles from the track on baytown to my house...

well, I had a full 3 inch exhaust piping that goes from the downpipe to the muffler in my car...it streched from the dash clock all the way to the lights switch in the trunk....
I wish I had a DVD player.. instead we have a big 3" arm rest..LOL
