I need a set of track wheels! Everyone had semi-slicks fitted today, from a 350Z TURBO to a Daihatsu Charade. MX5 to a Corolla. They all had them! I feel the need to follow the trend.

Just think - with some semi-slicks you should be able to crack 14 easy.
Do it!
Do it!
Do it!

We're getting off topic just a little, but geez I'm impressed more with this little car every time I take it on the track. It was the quickest car in the road class easily yesterday, quicker than the 350Z turbo (driven by some "hero" in full race regalia), and quicker than an STI fitted with a Detroit locker. Why a 4wd needs a locker I don't know. There was also a tricked up CV8 that flew down the straight but was SO slow around the corners.
Dave, those MX5s continue to impress, put some sticky tyres opn and they're not that far behind us.

And I reckon if TT fits slicks he'll be all over your butt at this year's Nats.

You'll note Taka has a bit of work to do himself before he hits low 12's.

I'm working on it but it'll take a while. Fallout levels are still too high to revisit the bombed territory.

Besides, imagine how insufferable TT will be if he beats your best lap time.
