I raced a Mazda Protage5 wagon tonight
it was a good race and since I have not street raced in a long time. It was a good race to come back in on. now since I did not check my car when I got it or check anything since ive Had it I Check my spark plugs to see what keep the person before me put in there. will I look at spark plug and they was all Fired all of them looked like they was BBQ. anyway i chg them and I did a TB coolant Bypass.
So we are at stop light and I start to drive Normal and the guy starts to rev and roll and then drops it. I had my gurl with me so I was not about to look like a bitch so I dropped it 1st gear neck and neck 2nd gear I pull by a hood 3rd gear he was smoked about 1/2 a car to a car thats what my gurl said I never take eyes off road when racing ( Have to look for cops lol) it was a good race and I had fun going to track friday so I will have new timeslips to post

We'll all hold our breaths for your ~17 second times... Protoges must be really slow.

With my only run with my G-Tech so far, I was able to get a 15.00@99mph with a wildly-spinning launch.

From the G-Tech site:
Why is my G-TECH/Pro consistently 2-3 mph above the track?
"G-TECH/Pro is a very accurate machine, and the trap speed result that you get from the G-TECH/Pro is actually more accurate than the racetrack. Reason is that the racetrack averages your speed over a 60 feet stretch between two beams and G-TECH/Pro measures your speed at the exact 1/4 mile point."

Yeah, so I'm bragging...so whathttp://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/smooch.gif?

Yes, but those horses are carrying a car that weighs in at about 2800lbs, as opposed to the DX's svelte 2500.
