Thanks for hosting this event I had a great time. I hope it's at Kilkare again next year.

Not sure if this will show up or not...but it's the link

2009 Nissan GT-R Alpha 12 18" MT DR. http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i357/HarleyDoug/12143259_1648276362110276_4309371163868316651_n_zpssctgjskw.jpg

You got This Jordan! Tell Bill to add a little more timing and let her eat...Weather will be perfect.

Nice job! enjoyed talking to you. You will get that 9.5 soon just a few more tweaks.

Scott, I apologize if you think I hijacked a thread...I mentioned a few times that I still had a good time and CR staff was great As far as the driving aspect yes I was disappointed, and rightfully so...you can call it GTR first world problems all you want but I guarantee if you were in this situation you would feel the same way. I made the mistake of thinking the event coordinating group had some control over tech and what rules would be strictly enforced...that seems to be the common variable at most private rentals. My Bad. ( this is why the streets are becoming more and more popular) The event was a good time, thank all the staff that put it together.

Maybe so Jones..lol in all fairness I was on the brakes pretty hard 2 straight passes, Im sure my rotors were getting pretty hot and I did have my front end shift slightly on the second one...but I was never out of control and I just wanted to follow the rules. It comes down to this: They let some guy's break the rules and not others...I'm not going to point anybody out but I know my car is much safer at 150mph than some of the others that were running 100mph. If they want to stretch the rules they should do it for everybody.

Thank you! The pictures look great.

I understand...it was still a good time and hanging out was the best part anyway. I am not an experienced drag racer ( only 3rd time) so I learned allot if nothing else.

thank you I did not know you reached out to them... But just to set the record straight....here is how it went down. 1st pass yes my Tuner made a pass (fresh build wanted to see how car responded) 9.7 149 he was stopped and told he needed to slow down) next two passes I ran the car to the just before the 1000' mark and hit the brakes so I wouldn't get kicked out, he stopped me the second time and told me to quit hitting the brakes on the track.. in a rude way. so my last time out I ran to the 1000' mark and coasted 9.6 142 the pulled me over again and proceeded to chew my ass like I was some little kid...told me I was done and gave me a lecture on track safety. so as you can see I did everything they asked but nothing was going to make them happy. BTW this is what I was I told I needed NHRA license full cage chute full drivers suite fire bottle NHRA approved harness so with that being said...it is what it is, my car is not a full time drag car its a street car, I know other tracks have no issue but this guy was a jerk! Nice hanging out with you too Jones! your car is badass bro.

I had a great time hanging out...all the CR staff was cool as hell, and the food was very good.. The track sucked...blame it on the rain or whatever but there was no prep whatsoever, this was somewhat disappointing, as was the asshole sitting in the truck at the end of the track. Rules are rules I get it...but getting kicked out for no good reason sucked...I wish the CR staff would have stepped in and assisted me on resolving my problem with this idiot...but what's done is done... Thanks for a good time!

That's the big mystery....last year the best I could rattle off was a 10.3 at 134mph....I better be better this year! Or I wasted a shitload of $$$$ lol Alright Jordan...I'll try to move up and probably get smoked, just for your entertainment.

Lets do it... should be fun, I' m game to run anybody as long as my junk stays together.

FBO E85 will be a blast...Have you already decided and made reservations for zdayz? I went last year and had a blast. I found a new appreciation for the GTR driving the Dragon several times.
