Maybe it will be his super-aerodynamic wheel skirts! Reduce his coefficent of drag to the reciprocal of infinity!

Oh, I never said anything about beating Cjthor! He's capable of much quicker, too. When I bust 13s, he'll bust 12s. I just want to see if I can get into the 13s. I know I could do it with drag slicks, and I considered getting race gas, and increasing my timing, but I want to do it without changing the car from how I drive it daily.
This race wasn't to see who would win... We both knew

I was only hoping for low 15s, and I thought that was a stretch. It was great getting props from Honda boys, and there were like 10 Hondas that parked near the track, but didn't run. I like to think we had something to do with that

As usual, it's the camaraderie that wins.

Yeah! I would have had a good time if I got 16s.

Meh...stick with a 15...its all about the tires. Even a good drag radial would help.

Haha!

I read my post a couple times to see why you said that.
I meant I would have had a good time, even if I had gotten 16 second times!

Aaron The Hic was a ZE drag racer in Ontario a long time ago and was very reputable around here. Apparently he was able to get a 13.8 on just a ZE swap in a stock Mx-3, but he also had alot of experience.
Over time he lightened his Mx-3 and added some nitrous, than parted out the car after blowing up the motor because of the nawwzzzz

cjthor; What tire pressure do you usually run with at the track? Any advise on that.
