Few pics of my Formula at the track!

last minute decision to go, so i rolled down there on the formula wheels and 245 dunlops...

Cut a 1.71 short time, but the car didnt like the heat,and came unglued when i tried to mat down the skinny pedal, tried to spray a few times...and didnt work LOL.

best et was a 12.8x@113, best N20 pass was a 12.59@119 car did NOT like being on street radials, and really hated the 90+ temps with 80 % humidity.

Pretty good considering the heat, humidity and radials!! They let you run without a helmet?

no, it was a street car chaos/grudge racing event.

they try to make it as much like "street racing" as possible.

i cant bitch much because of the heat, and being on street tires...its about .6 tenths off what it usually runs on motor, and ive put stock runners/plenum/tb back on...


thanks for the compliments.
