i was running against you in the left lane (assuming you were the 2is in the right lane) in the very last run in that video (TP 2is, oem 18" wheels).

i remember leaving it in "1" a hair too long; that's why you hear my engine bouncing off the rev limiter in that run.

^ Yes you were. Turning off your AC is part of the Toyota Speedway Rules & Regulations that you were required to read prior to dragging your car. "Air Conditioners: Please turn off air conditioners prior to your arrival in the water box."

You could have killed us all Raj.

it had to be off prior to staging. otherwise the condensation would end up as a puddle on the track.

granted, it meant that the racers had to brave sweltering heat to race, but imho it's a verysmall price to pay for so many free runs.

actually, yes, you were told that; the track boss announced it in the driver's meeting.

I forgive you too Raj, lol. I was just messed with you.

I'm curious though, why would you run with the A/C on? You know it slows your car down too right?

+1 this is the number 1 drag racing rule, turn off AC, and roll up windows!

Its all good. I knew I'd be looked down upon initially at the drag but it was all for fun/good times with my friends. No one ever expects a Camry to do so well. Perfect sleepers, especially the V6 model

I'll buy a pair of proper rims with good tires to swap out if I do that. Stretched isn't doing it for me as PureDrifter warned me 8 hours prior to the event lol
