Stop hijacking my thread, I will smoke you!!!

he didnt run that, thats fake!

Its funny, One run I forgot to put the nitrous on and ran a 17.1

[dahamler]

Sorry I'm glad to see some bobtails comming out to represent. It was a great time! Do you still have that shell?

[jonchino]

stealthbimmer came by today. funny thing is he lives across the street from me.

Hey Dahamler, what size are your front wheels/tires on your drag setup? I want to run a drag radial in the rear but my front wheels would still be 18" so I suppose I should go with a 17" rear drag radial.

[StealthBimmer]

Definitely a good time at the track. Now more tuning for you guys and let's go back up there soon. I didn"t race but still had a good time watching and hanging out with other BMW enthusiats.

It's a small world to find out jonchino (good guy) is a friend of my friend and he lives right near the BAT CAVE. This is where we hide all of our cars. I even know his aunt and cousins too.

Checked out the ti shell. Give it a thumbs up for a project car. Need some work but very doable if someone don't mind spending some $$. Might even have to use it for my own project ti. Maybe Dan and jonchino can make this dream come true for me.

For the front I'm just running 225/45/17 on a 17X7.5 wheel nothing special.

Ken all you need to do is get the shell towed here and supply the parts. It will be a fun summer or weekend project.

I'll volunteer my services too (sarcasm, occasional swears, manual labor).
