You need to take a ride in the 997 turbo Akram just built. Would never know it is built until you get on it!

Interesting, I'll have to check that out. Right now I'm pretty happy with the car but you never know...

Thanks Sean, I'll be there. If I can get the car under 10 sec I'll be happy, it ran a 12 sec pass bone stock with three shifts.

MBailey and BlackHorse, for some reason my runs weren't recorded. Its not a problem tho, because the best I got was an 8.5. Best 1/4 was a 123.25MPH. The top dogs were all off atleast .3 to .4 seconds. When we get some cold weather down here, I'm going to try and go get a better time.

Mark,

That time is insane...we tried to run Bobby's turbos but decided to not risk the fabrication challenge.

Ryan, your runs WERE recorded on the disc that was in the Driftbox in your car. I'm sorry, but I thought since you were 0.5 seconds off your best, you didn't want it recorded. I have 2 Driftboxes here at home and I will go through all the runs on these 2 to try to find yours...if they are not on either of these 2 they might be on Tommy's...

Great cars and great time. See yall soon. There is another cruise today for RobMD coming back from Afghanistan tour. Guess I will see many of you there.

Agreed, great event and great company. The conditions were not what I would call favorable, but watching all you big dogs run has made me want to get started on the Cobra so I can get off the side lines.

09 is going to be a good year for the banana boat!!

My best ET Saturday was something like 12.2. My best at the same track with the same tires on the car is 11.64. The track condition was not good. Between the occasional drizzle and whatever else I couldn't even keep traction in third gear at 3500 RPM.

Peter, don't worry about the times. Thanks anyways.

Robert, to be honest, the turnout was soooooo darn dismal (10 cars running and 38 people), that I doubt we'll have another event anytime soon. Until we can get 20 cars running and 80 people in attendance, it's just not worth it (from a cost perspective). The next 60-130 will either be TX2K9 OR we'll have one sometime in early February, I'm just not sure yet.
