Default 1/8 mile dig kills TT RS & BMW 1 series

Dig racing on closed airport from a flash lift start. They do it once a month near me nice turn out lots of sick card 9's supras to fully built door slammers.

I look for realistic or drivers races. I was on street tires Hankook V12 19/275/30's.

I took the TT RS (manual) twice by a car ( he's a previous isf owner sold if for the TT lol) the BMW was on drag radials dynod at 360 wheel with a tune and down pipe.

I was pleased.

They have a airport runway and are doing 1/8 miles? Thats usually 1/2 miles on runways. Pretty crazy that 1series got radials for 360whp lol

and this rule: All vehicles must be street legal, and that means real mufflers! In the event that your vehicle makes too much noise, even though you have mufflers, we will ask you to find a way to quiet your pipes or sit on the sidelines. Sorry, no exceptions.

They don't in force it. My turbo car had four inch turbo back joke excuse for muffler. Measured 129 db on the two step. They never bothered me about it.

At least they dont enforce the sound rule. I know some road courses that actually do and lots of cars cant even run.

My 2nd cat/straight pipe setup makes as much noise as aftermarket exhausts, so their rule is retarded. Same with tracks that say "muffled cars only".....rubbish.
