lol Thanks for the comments. Anyway I am not sure of the person with the SC sn on here I just know his name is scott. Not sure of the owner with the 1g GS lol didnt get his name but he is on CL supposedly. Anyway it was a fun day. Personally wouldnt mind shooting more lex's out. But I will be gone back to IL for school after this week so that kinda sucks but oh well.

Really nice pics and nice cars guys!!! I don't mean to be a PITA or rude but how in God's sweet earth did Jeff run a "best" of 13.5 in the 1/4 mile? I know it was probably hot that day (85+ degrees) and he was running with large wheels and full audio but still...doesn't he have like 600whp??? Maybe his car isn't setup for the 1/4 mile, maybe he lost traction horribly. All I know is something must have happened. I mean c'mon new bone stock IS350's are running those times all day regardless of temperatures with less than 260whp. No offense to the IS350's...I'm actually showing how efficient these cars are at being quick without the need for tremendous HP.

It was more like 100+ degrees that day (car was datalogging 120 ish air temps idling). His car also weighed 4200 lbs with driver and fuel but its a gs so doesnt surprise me much. Hes pushing more like 450-500. Either way he was pedaling it off the line he didnt go all out which contributed to some of his times. Transmission had some shifting issues from what I felt. Very minor but thats fixed now. Another big contributing factor is that he was running 14psi that day which is his wg pressure. His buddy has his MBC so we couldnt tune it to 19psi. But hes running e85 instead of premium now so cant really turn it that high either way. The main thing was he didnt want to break an axle lol. We were hoping they would leave the track open later in the night so we could finally do some pulls in the cooler weather and go all out. Also it was Jeff's first time bracket racing so he was kinda confused on what to do.
We were parked on the side of the highway since Jeff needed to remake his map lol. Car wasnt running properly.
Thanks!
