pumpkin broke again today, I don't care if that thing is a street car, drag car, or four cylinder cavalier, that guy cant drive a stick to save his ass, not trying to be mean because I don't know the guy but I have run a few manual cars in my day, and seen a lot of shitty manual trans operators but I can honestly say orange is the worst I have ever seen, but I did see him go 10.5 at 140, I have vid I will post, but I did also see him go high 12,s, high 11,s and break twice, so all in all, the combination of a bad driver and a car that cant hold the power, I would say just drive it and quit taking up other peoples run time by breaking your car every couple passes, why would someone try and race something that they know is going to break??

Well, it sounds like orange had a bunch of highs and lows. 10.4 @ 140 is a good set of numbers though. Tork is right about people who constantly break parts. I compare those guys to people who blow a motor and spill oil but don't pull over which makes cleanup a long process.

I also saw Biggy run his 10.50 at 140
He's got a twin so its like a button on or off.
I had major shitty tune and the car netted 3 a very cosistant 12.8's the first day. That night I had Dan Pitch and Biggy look at the tune and we basically started over and "dumbed" the tune down by turning every thing off, Ended up running 10.88 at 120 on my only run on Sunday. Belt would slip over 4500 and only give me 5.5- 6 lbs of boost.

9.90 at 126 and on the brakes so I wouldn't have to stop running the class. I would have did a full pass but I was way ahead and wanted to do a full pass against another competitor but they said that was fast enough go get certified to run 9's
edit: The track wasa prepped fine. I ran 1.37 60 ft
