Totally missed your video there. That van and the bikes were worth price of admission. And the retarded S2000.
I took my dashcam out recently. Except I never bothered to check the rotation after I reinstalled it.
So it turns out my dashcam has been looking at… my dash.
Here’s the 12.78 run. Very sloppy entry to second gear. My foot was off the clutch completely.

That van is awesome! It’s actually got some liftoff here…
Really sorry I missed out.
It was a good day with some good times!
Mistro, you had some great times bud! I would have thought the MS109 would have helped a little more than it did but I guess until you’re tune for it you don’t really see the benefits other than maybe fuel economy. I’m also amazed at how many runs you got in! I should have stayed longer but family obligations take precedence. Oh well, that’s another bargaining chip on my side eh Sak…
Sak, tire pressure is paramount dude! I always keep a pressure gauge with me so next time just ask and will get you hooked up.
Bangoman, No shots of the GTI?
Jspazz - I would like to head out one more time before the end of the season to test the 104 tune. Knowing that the track will be closing in a few weeks we should look at setting something up soon if anyone else is interested?
Well I only got 3 passes yesterday all of which where on 94 octane (the best ET and Trap are bolded).
Pass 1 (11:24)
60’…1.746
330…5.088
1/8…7.827
MPH…89.95
1000…10.195
1/4…12.186
MPH…113.59
Pass 2 (11:29)
60’…1.730
330…5.054
1/8…7.780
MPH…90.42
1000…10.135
1/4…12.118
MPH…113.92
Pass 3 (11:37)
60’…1.811
330…5.155
1/8…7.914
MPH…88.48
1000…10.288
1/4…12.277
MPH…114.53
Note: At the time of these runs the DA was -182
Cars that are pulling timing can take advantage of race fuel but on a dense cold day, on a freshly carbon cleaned car, he wasn’t leaving anything on the table using 94 in b the stock tune (as evidenced by him trapping 111 with zero power mods)
P.S. Big points gained there lol
Here’s the bit I was talking about

Sounds like your clutch is slipping on engagement. Not your fault…it is just not grabbing well. Call Mick for some advice in an eventual replacement.
Here is a mistro run from earlier in the day

Yeah, based on the flag on top of the sign board it looks like it was across or not much at all.
So should we say that every stock RS4 in the 12s had a “tailwind” in order to proves Mick’s theories…
He was going on about us having a 12-15 mph tailwind that we would conveniently not mention
What a toolbox.
Someone should post this video for him on Quattrofail where he was trash talking to select attention away from yet another Mick/Ben team fail.
So anyone know anywhere to quickly and preferably cheaply weigh your car around TO?
… other than sneaking into a truck weigh station on the side of the highway late at night like Axel does lol
that’s what I do
3Rd line and qew
Nice times guys…
Car seems to be running well bear…
Ask Chris @ Twins VERY nicely next time you need some work done and he might be able to help you out. No guarantees but maybe…

And I ain’t getting my car back till Friday at the earliest if the stars align (i.e. most likely early next week)
Sigh…
Thanks PT!
It actually wasn’t running all that great until I cleaned the fuel system. I thinking there was some sort of buildup that was throwing things off and causing a rough idle.
Anyway, have you had a chance to make it to the strip lately? Any new records? ;D
Bear, Unfortunately, I have been very busy with life things and haven’t been to the strip in over a month and probably closer to two months… I am planning to go this weekend, maybe Sat. and Sun. but definetly one day, weather premitting of course… Temps are starting to get cool around here so times should start to look good… Few things I am trying but will see how that goes… This weekend will probably be high 50’s low 60’s so I doubt I’ll see a record but hopefully I will before the end of the season… Take care, Ron
Ouch… did any other bits end up getting damaged as a result?
I say we go again in a few weeks for Axel’s sake.
