Helmet? Hmmmmm for my PHAT (TM breached) head

[scary]

yep I'll bring the snow plow

[TorpedoCreative]

sounds good... hopefully I will have the tune done by then, although Im expecting to get whipped by some of the 6MTs

[Jimmy S]

Will definitely come down to support the team, but I've never been interested in taking my cars down the 1/4... seems kind of pointless to me with an AWD car...

Happy to come down and watch though!

Aw - cmon Jimmy just once. You n me.

We'll be the Granny off the line types I hate clutch smell.

Well let the others go nuts.

LMAO

If you are willing to put your car on a Dyno then you should go to the drags. Way more accuarate gauge for the power of the car.

Not the ET but the MPH

[GTSPECB STI]

exactly

[Jimmy S]

True enough... I have never built my cars for numbers though Shane... Only ever been on a dyno for tuning purposes!

I may be persuaded to come down and give it a crack, just saying its not high on my priority listing!

There is zero chance that the red mist would not come down if I was on the start line Andrew! I would not be able to help trying to launch it hard...

[suff]

I'm in.. just hope this doesn't result in the need for a shift kit and gearbox rebuild
