*sigh. I miss racecity.
I really want to try this out at some point as I've never been but after having had my ass handed to me by an E63, while in my R8, I don't even want to bother anymore. lol
Race city was a dump, now it is a world class landfill.Quote:

A "dragy" makes the process of testing your cars performance much more convenient then driving to Edmonton to run at the track.
I still like going to the strip for an actual timeslip (even though Castrol has an app now and no longer prints slips lol)
Also, always nice to not risk your license doing runs on public roads with a dragy I assume. Unless I just don't know of any secret spots around Edmonton/Calgary where you can do that without risking a cop pulling you over.
I found a great spot north of the city that has worked well for me. Nobody around, out in the country, flat and almost no traffic. I'll head out, make a few solo hits and go home.
I've got a buddy going in his built f80 m3, looking for his first 9 second pass
What's the fastest he has run prior?Quote:

We’ll be up on Saturday for tunerbash!
He ran a high 10 I believe with slipping transmission.Quote:

He's a very well known local tuner.
I wish him good luck anything under 10 he is golden.
Were you at Lowes on Macleod Sunday morning with your Vic?Quote:

No only day I drove it this weekend was Friday night.Quote:
