    Thanks guys.

    Jim: I'm pleased too with my consistancy. It tells me two things: 1) I'm driving well and 2) Without slicks or weight reduction, this is as fast as my car is going to get. I don't plan on either.

    The Rota Circuit 8's and Azenis didn't rub, but I haven't autocrossed on them. I don't see how they could rub. They have a little less offset (-38 vs. -40mm stock), but I've had 215 tires on my stock wheels for a year and they don't rub ever.

    Other tidbits from last night:

    There's a crew of Jamaican guys from Hartford that run a lot of JRSC Hondas. They had 2 Civics with JRSC b18c1's and a JRSC 4 door GSR. One of the Civics broke an axle trying (stupidly) to launch on slicks with an 8000rpm clutch dump. When they didn't break, these guys were around 13.9.

    Someone was running a crewcab Ford F350 diesel with tool chest! That earned them a free T-shirt for "Truck of the Night". It ran 17's!!!

    There was a SOHC VTEC Civic with an intercooled Greddy turbo at 5psi that was really struggling to break into the 13's.

    ROFL! See how hard Supra's have a time launch off of street tires with that kind of power? [img]smile.gif[/img] Hehe, my best MPH that day to the track was 125 at lower boost. I know exactly how that passing by looks from the Supra side. Everyone had me the first 1/8th mile.

    Story of the night:

    - Got spanked on my last run against a Supra with a single turbo conversion. He had a 2.6 second 60' time and claimed he missed 2nd as well. Then, from way the hell behind me, right at the end of the 1320, the Supra blew by me like I was bus! (13.491 vs. 13.275 @ 126!!!)
