EGL dines in Hell, well close.

Alright so I may have you either way. My SRT trapped 119 with a 12.4 at Ubly (for those who know local drag strips) I haven't gone out in my Evo yet, although I will on a Sunday before the season ends. People with my mods (up to cams, stock turbo, stock clutch) trap anywhere from 112 to 115 on average and run around 11.9 to 12.4 or so.

We'll see what I can do. I'm a decent driver, but I won't be breaking into the 11's yet, ha.

:shocked::shocked::shocked:DAMN now thats a nice trap speed. I have beat a few on the streets, but the above is why I dont even talk about it at the track:laugh:

I cant go back to my local track till next season, they are closing soon and before I go back I have to get a external bettery cutoff, they are sticklers to the nhra rulebook.

I thought someone mentioned you have an STi motor in your wagon. If that's the case 12's are pretty easy. A local guy with an Evo runs ( www.paradigmperformance.net ) and has a Subaru Forester with an STi motor that goes low 12's easy, haha. Now that is an awesome car. His Evo went 11.1 @ 124 and he's already switching turbos again. Talk to him if you're looking for parts. His name is Wayne. You may already know him. He deals with Jan at Speed Industry a lot.

Ryan, why are you going to Ubly? Is it a better track? It's a two hour drive! :shocked:

I had gone up there with my friends and my uncle who lives in Port Huron ended up being there too. The track is 10x better than Lapeer as far as the condition of the track goes, but the run off room at the end could certainly use some help. My guess is most of the people who go there run 1/8 mile, which it would be fine for. Like I said I trapped 119 and wasn't anywhere close to the fastest there and I was uncomfortable at the end.

My best 60' was a 2.0 that day :(

Ubly is far away with a short run off, Lapeer is a :censored::censored::censored::censored:ty track with the best schedule and is close enough, Milan you race 3 times in a 6 hour time period, has a :censored::censored::censored::censored:ty T&T schedule but it is as close as Lapeer.

The one in Flint they're building is only going to be 1/8 mile.
 
Norwalk isn't much more of a drive than Ubly. If you can go there once a year with a car club or whoever it's more than worth it. I've never gone West to US131.
