here we go.......i killed 4 of these things so far, they dont give up, usually some tool with his girlfriend......one ran at my track managed to hit a 10.4 in the 1/8th
Yeah guys. They suck. I was reading that freakin long thread about the Cobalt SS that CodySS or whatever his name is kept getting owned in. Funny stuff. I drove the Cobalt. Extremely unimpressive to say the least. The only time you can actually feel it making boost is 1st gear. After that it's about as exciting as my girlfriend's 99 Taurus. Apparently 12psi isn't as much as we all thought...
Yeah I am in West Palm beach. Do you make the journey to moroso?
Haven't been in a while. And before you ask, no I haven't ran it since the turbo kit is on. And unfortunately I won't be able to for a while. Can't pass tech. Too many oil leaks and I haven't put my External battery cut-off switch on yet.
Don't you love the NHRA Rules? ha ha ha. That's wierd though because I know a few F-bodies with T-tops that didn't need a helmet. I think that guy was just being a d*ck with you. I've never heard that rule before. I thought the only requirement of a helmet is if you ran a 13.5 or better.

some places really bust balls about having snell rated helmets, but at some tracks, ive seen guys running in the 11s with old ratty dirtbike helmets..
for you guys who need helmets, check out online motorcycle suppliers...i got my dad a new helmet for christmas since hes running the white car now, and i have an older bell full face helmet...except i was dicking around one night on the street and when i launched hard, the helmet smacked against the area where the back seat should be...and broke the visor..i never bothered to replace it.
anyway, my dads helmet is pretty nice, and it only cost like 70 bucks or so...motorcycle places usually have nice helmets on clearance, you just have to check to see if they have your size. i would have bought myself a new one when i got my dads, but they didnt have anything to fit me, with the exception of new, very expensive helmets.

Uhhhhhhhh Correct me if I'm wrong but BMX are not DOT and Snell approved are they? You don't need a visor. You can get an open face helmet that is approved by all sanctioning tracks as long as you don't go under a certain speed. Once you hit a certain speed or time in the 1/4 mile, you need a full face helmet

i dont think that you need a full face helmet unless youre into the 9s, or youre running a rail car...but dont quote me on that, as neither of those rules apply to me.
BMX helmets are probably not approved by anything...some tracks will let you slide with a DOT approved helmet, but some are tough about it and require snell 2000 or better...some require snell 95 (i think thats what the next older rating is). mine is a snell 2000.
some tracks dont know what is going on, so you have to be ready for just about anything. i had a track about two years ago not even ask for a helmet when i told them that it ran mid 12s, but they bitched that i didnt have long wheel studs on the front...so they gave me the "next time you have to have long studs on the front"...meanwhile, there was a probe IN MY CLASS who ran with the hood open, and he only had 3 lugnuts on each of the front wheels...he told us that it was to reduce weight..and no, im not kidding...

AHHHHHHHH haha ha ha ha ha. Lugnuts = weight reduction. ha ha ha haha
Yeah when I went to the Moroso track they wouldn't let me run because I was in shorts. I had to buy some plain sweat pants for $12. Anyone know why shorts aren't allowed?

In case of extreme cases of a fire breaking out they want you covered for some reason. I told the guy one time that I can't shift good with pants cuz the pedals are too close together and I snag the pant leg and he said tough sh*t. Plus if a fire breaks out I don't want something that can catch on fire and have more chance of my legs being completely fried.
