Who me? Making excuses for pulling on a car one run while spinning? I never publicly posted that either. Just told the driver. I didn't lose. I made no excuse, except for saying that I was spinning while still pulling ahead on a quick lower mph punch. If you think making excuses for stating that my car was obviously spinning while still pulling is an excuse, so be it. It wasn't pretty on the highway.

16-17psi on the track, and 20-22 on the street. I do a lot of street driving in the car, and after my last set(305/35/18s), it seems to wear them evenly with track/street use. I had them up to 25psi last weekend as I have been on road trips lately and trying to keep my MPG up. Didn't lower them, but might have helped a bit. Got a pair of stock c6 fronts headed to weldcraft to be widened to put another set of 305/35's back on to keep the stock look.

Forgot that I have a stock block, stock tranny, stock rear, gears, and maybe the smallest blower out for a c6. 
Guess I make too many excuses.

Statements like "I'm a bolt on car" and "I was spinning" are excuses.

You are making excuses now. The only reason I brought it up is that everyone makes excuses and then goes on about how the other guy makes excuses just to make yourself look cool. Race, have fun, whatever.

We have a little evo owner that decided to join the forum, saying I made an excuse when I won? Why would I do that? I won, I was just saying that I spun on one little hit while we were in the cars.
Amazing how stupid people are, and how people interpret things on the internet. Yes, let me make excuses about how I won a race. Geeze.

I won, genius, even when I was spinning. It was after I pulled on him that I shouted across cars I was spinning bad, laughing. I still won, wtf do you not understand. I didn't make a single excuse, I won all the runs. I never made a single excuse.

Cool. Peter Blach, the coordinator is talking to HPD about policing up the event and the Omni hotel so that should be a little bit better in that sense but the Mexico events would have to be done in more discrete places. Hope to see you there. I should be out with both cars.

It is completely out of hand now. See you all next year. Even though I didn't attend this year, we all appreciate the showing, but it is only going downhill. I saw the reply on LS1tech by him or the guy apologizing about the circumstances, but this event has brought way too many young guys out. Not only that, they do a lot of damage to a nice hotel willing to hosts the out of town people.
