That was our first run! :-) Our best run for the weekend (granny-launching, granny-shifting, tranny trashed) was an 11.3@137 MPH

That chameleon EK reminds me of a blue EK that was in a Turbo Magazine a couple of years ago. The car looks good.

He qualified 1st with a 9.4, but then got thrown out for not having a certified cage or a competition license (right before the final round). I would think that they would have checked after his first 9 sec pass (on sat.). gotta love the battle!

Because it is the car. It has since went through some changes and has a new owner. Lets just say it makes a little more power. The stickers are gone becuase there is no more sponsorship. It looks alot different after i got done with it today. I put on some narrow rear suspension, jim fab, and got the wheel bars all set up. I am still going to run street class, just switch out susp. for events.

I knew the car looked familiar to me. It surprised the hell out of me when I had to run you in qualifying. I have to give it up to you, you have done an outstanding job with that car. If you run the street class next year, I'll see you up there and maybe we will run again.
