Importfaceoff

[Sgt Craig]

Saturday was just for fun. made 2 passes as the place was packed. got to whip on a mustang with a supercharger and slicks. well worth the entry fee.

Sunday was in the mid 90's way too hot for this old man. they had a nice car show, Drifting that was alot of fun to watch and Drag racing. In the heads up FWD class there was 4 or 5 Hondas and 3 mopars, me, Jon Morre and a SRT4 that was trapping a 157 MPH but was a pig off the line. Jon lost first gear and went out in the first round and so did the SRT. in the semi's I got a by run. Holy Crap I made it to the finals but I was no match for the $80,000+ Honda. Me 10.43 him 9.40. I got $300 for 2nd

Tuesday was the SDAC drag race at Muncie Dragway. again in the 90's. entered the heads up class. I made it to the Semi's but lost to Who else but to James Reeves.

It was nice meeting you at import faceoff at Kilkare.

[Sgt Craig]

I was good meeting you and your crew Rob.That was a great pass you made last run.Sucks about the Rad.We didnt run 1st round of brackets until about 5.I dialed a 18.40 figured I could driveit on the big end.WRXhad a 14.2 dial,I dumped it at line and freakin broke out by .45.I will never run a CVT again.Trying to figure out how the thing runs .50 slower on 2nd time without changing anything.It was fun though.The white honda won of course.

I love those wheels you run your front slicks on... what are they??

can't remember the name I think they are called Roto, made in China. 13 by 8 almost 11lb each.

another hot and humid day. got to Pittsburgh about 10 there has been so much rain there lately that it took all morning to dry the track and they had to keep everyone off the grass.
the car show was small this time cause of the 50% chance of rain but most of the racers where out in full force. it was about 1:00 when we got to make are back to back qualifiing runs. I qualified 2nd.in FWD.

60'.......1.7159
330'.....4.537
1/8ET...6.791
MPH....109.76
ET......10.36
MPH....137.03

got back to the pits, made a sandwich, sat down and watched my car drip water on the ground. CRAP cheep azz neon rad. my own damn fault was going to change it out but got lazy. all in all I had a blast, wish I could do this every week.

on the way home about 2miles from my house God decided to dump lake Erie on my home town 3'' of rain in less than 2 hours, part of the shop had about 2'' of water and the house had about 3'' of water in the basement . so much for my nap when I got home.

Oh hot damn that's awesome! Im not finding anything by that name in google, let me know if the next time you see the bottom of the car or have the wheels off, if you can sneak a peak in those wheels and see what the exact brand name is. Thanks!

I believe the company is ROTA, not "Roto."

Try www.rotawheels.com

[Vigo]

Closest thing im seeing in Rota is Grid Classic which doesnt seem to be currently available in any 13" sizes. It looks like the same wheel, though.

If the 13"s weren't selling they might've discontinued that size.
