    Paul! Huge props man! I can't wait for you guys to break the record! I know you will. Maybe I can be THERE this time. ;) Keep up the great work my friend!


    By no means do I want to highjack this thread. I would just like for cal330ci to see where the bar is set. Paul was there for many of our races. Helping us with the trials of doing such nuttiness. It's why I know he'll be the one to beat it. :D

    Since this run the car ran 10.2
    No NOS, all boost. However, NOS IS FUN!

    What kind of times are you getting without going to the extreme as nitrous?

    LOL.. and Santa Pod ( that track) is a bit up hill !! It is an OLD B17 runway!!
    They have an AMERICAN Memoral in front honoring the Mighty 8th Air Force!! I about went off the road when I came to a turn and there was "Old Glory" in the quiet rolling hills of England!!

    I think the track is dry... just shinny?? LOL

    In Drag racing you do not use the tern when describing NOS as extreme! :lol:

    It was Thomas driving as he's lighter :) The track wasn't wet that was the glue they put down, though yesterday they experimented with a new glue and its hasn't been received very well and they have 4 barrells off it.

    In drag racing those that are winners and hated are the ones who know how to get the car down the track in any condition, they usually have there car so sussed that they could proberly run very similar times down a dirt road :)


    I cant wait to be hated :)

    Nitrous does not equal extreme :)

    When done properly it is plenty safe and the motor loves it!

    Implying as an extreme because its not a common add on to a mini and i bet few daily drivers have it.

    I am willing to bet there are many more NOS feed r53s, then there are turboed ones...

    Nice job guys on the time. Reaaaaally has me considering some nitrous. I've read our r53 motors are good for about a 75wet shot w/o otherwise tuned ? True?

    I was at a 60 shot on no tune then went 80 shot with no tune... might be pushing the 100 shot, so I am still having fun on the 80, till I can get some good data loging. I would say that 75 is 'good to go'!!

    Haha, apparently I missed the action. I did go look it up. I can see where my response was very much a sound bite. There's allot more to that thought. I often just don't bother putting the whole thing because I don't believe people will actually read it anyway. I realize how unbalanced my statement was. So, my bad. However, thanks for the heads up. :)
