The EVO3 was me :lol: First time on the strip in that car, still don't know where to change gear.

I was very impressed at the way your REV1 came back very hard at me half way down the strip. Maybe next time I'll do a little better :D

It would seem that due to my over the top burn out attempts on the day I was always last to stage. I find it really hard to get on the line, set my rpm to where it needs to be and then launch at the exact moment the light drop :? So in the end I stopped trying to beat what ever I was up against away from the line. Given that the reaction time isn't included in the overall 1/4 mile time it doesn't matter really.....just looks bad in the pics though lol

Having said that I remember passing that Type R as if it were going backwards before the halfway mark :twisted: :lol:
