NycDriftKing Beats ChrisM on the 1/4mile- Video and pictures. =]
I win-->car 7874

Well What can I say. Their was a lot-lot of trash talking about who was going to win. But I prevailed. The 8 is superior to the mx-5. Like we didn't already know lol.

conditions: 94 degree's outside, street tires...

It doesn't matter if you win by a INCH or a MILE winning is WINNING. lmao...



the first run


The second run


The video for the first run.

NYC, Looked like a pretty bad start. Did it just look that way, or did you miss?

i donno... i think you should get your coils checked or something NYC, I was getting HORRID 60 footers (2'7) and still running very low 15s at over 93 everytime my first time at the track. It doesn't seem like your car is running up to par unless you are straight missing shifts or shifting verrrry slow.

Chrism, I hear goodwin racing has some headers, did you see all those dynos w/ their full exhaust system and intake?

The MX-5 has a shorter 60' fwiw
