last night at e-town in the rice vs. US muscle showdown i won second place in my class (13.0 - 14.49 seconds). when there were only 4 cars/trucks left i had to race my truck's twin! ANOTHER 02 true blue L! we had the EXACT same dial in time (13.00) and made an identical run. i was trying my best to break 12's so i kept it to the floor. he feared breaking out so he tapped the brakes and i went flying by. i won that one.

i lost in the finals because I BROKE INTO THE 12'S! mods are the following: (on f1's and a removed hitch)

JDM chip (hot/cold)
JDM filter
JDM boost bypass kit
JDM deep sump trans pan & filter
JDM line mod valve

here was my final and BEST run thus far:

r/t = .690 (reason why i lost)
60' = 1.939
330 = 5.454
1/8 = 8.342
mph = 85.15
1000 = 10.849
1/4 = 12.977 (stock i did a 13.446 @ 102.73)
mph = 105.88

so i went home with $250 and a nice size trophy. i was happy to break 12's but i woulda loved $500. no complaints though. I LOVE THIS TRUCK. THANKS JDM FOR HOOKIN MY TRUCK UP.

 

Congratulations....
Now spend that $250.00 on another mod and run quicker yet.

Awsome man!

WOT

 

Nice job dude!

Is that $250 going towards a pulleys or does it have to be spent on someone else

 

Congrats.Me and teri stayed for four rounds,but it got too cold.
Glad to hear you went all the way.YOU DA MAN.

for a pic of me and the trophy with the L please see Andy...he took the pic. i'll take another one during the day when the lighting is MUCH better. later all...

 

SUPER!

I'll have that trophy print ready in about a week. I'm still using my old SLR. My digital is still out of action.


I probably could have lasted another few rounds. The L was running on the dial in's and my rt's were good. I got eliminated even tho I cut a .506 light. Too bad I kinda ran out of gas on that run.

The L hesitated right near the 1-2 shift. It was like as if I lifted off the gas and then got on it agian.

Congrats on the $ and trophy! I'd also like to say thanks for following me to the gas station. I was sweating bullets all the way there. I refueled with 24.756 gallons. If I"m not mistaken, the L's gas tank holds 25 gallons right?

Might be a good idea for me to change that fuel filter now.

See you guys at the next event!

Congrads man ,... Nice run ,,,,,, Peace

 

Congrats, WELCOME TO THE

 

Andy,
I watched that run.It looked like you had the guy and then at 1/2 track(that were we were sitting) I was like"what happened?" The truck look like you let off.Now it all makes sense.

Congrats on the 12's.....No unleaded race gas. I had to run on street side. Went 12.71 falling on it's face after the 60'(low gas). I think it coulda gone a high 12.5X maybe if it pulled all the way. Made it to round 2 lost by .027. Hit the brakes just too much. Oh well I had a good time. Would of gone super fast with gas on side too. Maybe next weekend. -Mat-

 

Great run. Congrats.

 

pete - the $250 is going towards the Bassani exhaust/JDM headers fund. i can't wait to hear how that setup sounds! should be nice n loud. i want to hear Vinnie's (badazz) Lightning now!

 

I just hope there was no long term damage done on that run. After the refuel, the azz o meter said everything was fine.
