    I want to bring the Mark II down again... after posting a 1.4 second reaction time due to headcold and associated fuzziness... I'm confident of a 17 off a good launch... lol.

    Good stuff Garnett!

    (PS. Reaction times don't affect the ET, the timer starts when you break a third light beam and not when the light goes green)

    oh man.. sooooo not fair with the timing..

    doesnt look like my car is gonna be ready for this event either...

    i was hoping to take it for a run down the drags for a laugh...

    stretched tires, welded diff, 16kg springs and fuck off hard dampers will surely help me with my launches

    i just wanna see how far down the track i can smoke the tires..

    will try to make it, but am doubtful..
