I already have a list of what I need. The question is do I want to spend the money. If I had some help to ease the burden it would
make a decision easier. I don't see that happening though and don't know if I want the other things that come with it.

LOL, no. There is more to it than you think. The 1/2 mile is a soul crusher.

You've spiraled down that rabbit hole at a pretty good clip now. The question to yourself is. How much faster and further down that rabbit hole you want to go? How much self control do you have?

I have a good bit of self control. The car is doing exactly what I wanted it to do. If I make no other changes to it today I will be totally fine with it. It brings me great joy to daily drive it as is. I am probably done. I just don't see the point. 3rd gear and up will rip my head off on the street. On the airstrip I had NO traction until 5th.

Let me know what I can do to help

You’re not too far from me & can perform upgrades in your garage

If you got room beside the GS

I’ll definitely take off for future events & help with getting everything setup

Well, I have seen the footage of this supposed new record and it is a rolling half mile. Not a standing half mile. He started way before the cones showing where the 1/2 mile started. This makes me also question Seb's run. We don't have footage of that to watch. You have to line up on the cones for a true standing half mile. At wannagofast you have a beam you have to break/line up on and a tree. Just like at a 1/4 mile drag strip.

Spooler · 11-11-2019, 11:54 AM

Come to find out Unique's run was a 1/2 mile I guess. All these events are ran differently. It would be great if they would get together and do them the same way. I would be good with the Hot Flag girl starting it off like at ShiftSector. LMAO...

Teaser video. Full video coming out at the end of the week. I am briefly in this one. LOL The camera didn't break, it's a miracle.

Rusty · 11-12-2019, 07:54 PM

Seen you lurking in the background. Photo bombed it.

Spooler · 11-15-2019, 07:30 PM
