Default Goodbye Roundman [:D]

I've done it, I finally beat you!!

Got my nitrous installed earlier today, and I'll just tell you about my timeslip
So here she is:
R/T: .792
60': 2.125
330: 5.956
1/8: 8.864@85.15MPH
1000: 11.294
1/4: 13.348@107.93MPH


I can say I'm very happy...
And I was trapping speeds of 111MPH all day, that just happened to be my best(switched into 5th so i lost speed im guessing)
Really happy, I'm all smiles

Also beat a few newer body style Maros and a 99 Vette

That 111 mph trap could get you well into the 12's with radials..

Nope the bottle held up for about 10-11 races
And its a full throttle switch so, im using it from 3/4's thru 2nd gear
all of third and all of fourth

My switch is just in a poor spot(main power switch) so its hard to engage.

I got it reinstalled for like $150. Massive wire confusion, so just had a Zex Tech that lives like 10 houses down from me(what luck eh? can get it filled ANYTIME he lives so ****ing close its rediculous

The system itself sells for like 400-500 bux online

If you're thinking about getting some I really have to say go for it man.

It's perfectly safe if its setup correctly, just need to make sure you never run too lean(ie: clogged fuel pump, eh cant think of anything)

That's the ONLY way something is going to break, if you run too lean.

My setup is a N.O.S. 75 Dry Shot w/ Full Throttle Switch.
It's really something else, cant explain it too well. But next wednesday if you're at the track just hop in my car for one run
You'll see how ****ing fantastic it is!

No can do, OB. Any car faster than 14.00 cannot have passengers [:@] Just like anything faster than 14.00 you need a helmet I take it you found one with the times you ran last night

BTW-congrats on your fast runs. From the way you posted, I'd say you're a happy boy. Now you know why they call it "laughing" gas I can see now that you aren't even going to talk to me in the staging lines anymore. You're going to consider me a slow old fart (you probably already did!!) [X(] hehehe

Oh well, sucks about the passenger thing.
But now I gotta get you on the Giggle Gas, it's way too fun to use!

HP with the flick of a switch! Save your Gas Mileage!

Hehe but your gas sure does like to get sucked out of your tank when nitrous is in use tho

Hey, it Ga you can have passengers when you race. Joe pulled a 13.5 (1/4) with me in the car and he ran with me as well, but I only ran a 14.4..it was my first time. The only rule is you have to be older the 13 to ride. Thank god for that otherwise Joe would probably want to take our son with him. (I would SOOO not allow it)

I'll look into it then,maybe I can knock a couple more tenths off with a passenger manning my very hard to engage nitrous switch
Just jump out after you do so so I dont lose time by you weighing my car down

Not bad OB, but you had to go to the bottle to beat me! And you must have taken your own good time to turn it on based on your earlier times. Compare my best run this past weekend at the Fun Ford Weekend with your best times and you'll see what I mean.
RT: .061
60' 1.829
330' 5.510
1/8 8.640
MPH 78.32
1000' 11.360
1/4 13.700
MPH 95.60
And this was all throttle, no bottle! And with a tired stock engine at that! With 88 degree air and 45% humidity.
Let me know when you can beat me without the bottle and then I'll recognize you as the faster driver! LOL
THE ROUNDMAN AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE, I'M STILL HERE WAITING TO GO HEAD TO HEAD WITH YOU ANYTIME!
