Trust me, I know most of the cars on here. I know what both of you run in a ball park. I was just making a statement on how most people with Hondas are.

I give you props for the power you have and the times you have run. It should be easy to fix the problems you have, I have been there and broke that...

I just hate to see people talk about Richmond. I can PROMISE you the track wasnt the issue. I have ran on about EVERY track on the east coast and the ONLY faster track is Cecil, MD. Richmond is the best hooking track around. Hell People from MD that run big Drag Radial classes have been at Richmond testing, and National Champ Phillip Clements has been there as well.

As stated before the radials and low pressure dont mix... I have ran 12.2's in a 5150lb Brick truck on 22in Radials with 50lbs of air in the tires. I use to love running on radials!



Everyone on here that knows me knows im not an asshole or prick. Id go out of my way to help ANYONE that REALLY loves racing. I hate Ricers weither Domestic or Imported. So JDMSleeper, dont find things to blame problems on. When you make POWER things break and have to be fixed. The axles are the weak link to his setup, not a WEAK Track...

Ok cool, lets get some NHRA officials to sponcer Richmond. Oh wait... they wont. Cracks in the track and your just trying to justify that they are their and they SHOULDNT be.

Ive never had a problem w/ drag radials, street tires or slicks w/ wheel hop in my 6 years of racing at the track. sorry. & chris's car is set up even better than mine was.

People like me? And what do you mean by that? I think i do have a clue... and Richmond pre preps well but maintains horribly. Ive seen MANY people dump oil/water and they dont even clean it up. Those wet spots are dangerous weither you think so or not. Good way to break shit and get hurt.

I was just throwing stuff out there and you got mad. I'm not a ricer, just throwin stuff out there just like everyone else is doing.

From my experience, Richmond is A LOT slower then VMP. Also my car was WAY too fast for richmond due to lack of braking room. Ive almost ran out into the grass several times... thats why i dont like it. Along w/ the busted up top end of the left lane.

I wish I had the same problem with my car. You could cut the braking distance in half and I would still have enough room to slow down. haha
