I was really happy to see so many fast street cars out there. I really didn't get to see any of the Q8 races though because I was down in staging the whole time..
Do they make stronger ones for rb..like nismo or something?

Yeah, I put a Greddy belt on, that should last a bit longer.

I feel your pain! My brother and I tested the nitrous on the "Black Bitch" on August 31, and it did not go to well. Lets just say it ended up with a loud boom, not once but twice. Now the motor has a nice miss in it. Working on getting parts to get her running again and then I will try to blow it up yet again!

Thats sounds good. Yeah I was suprised at the amount of nissans my self, thought there was gonna be only a handful of 240's including mine, but there were a good amount. Kinda cool to see the one at the end. Nice to see one going fast straight instead of sideways for a change lol, just to break the stereotype.

Anyone down for a Bristol dragway test & tune? I'm tired of bench racing and guesstimating my 1/4 mile time and trap speed.
I would go t&t with you. Ive never been to bristol. It would be nice to go to a track that would hook for a change. Just let me know when.
Later, Ricky

If you're gonna travel, hit VMP rather than Bristol, the two cars I've brought down to Bristol 60 footed better at NL & NB.
