Yeah ill post some vids after class.... still had a GREAT time there regardless. the guy who owned my car previously for 7 years (only other owner besides the person who leased it) ran at the same track and ran a 14.8 and that was without this clutch and without a test pipe. so i think i could run a 14.7 or lower if i got a good launch. lol here is a REALLY shitty video of taking off. i need to learn how to launch... (since this video though i am much better... i can squeal the tires every time!)

The pants rule is for fire safety, but anyone whose a firefighter or a burn victim will tell you that clothes melting to your skin is a hell of a lot worse than skin directly exposed to fire.
VMR here requires everyone to wear a helment. Even if your slow as crap.

I mean come on a helmet saved this guys life! I even bet he was wearing pants in that fire!
Not really for Fire Safety, because if that was true they would force everyone to wear a fire suit. It is for safety but I would think more towards flying glass in case you crashed. But to me racing a car and shorts just dont belong together. Its like racing a bike with flip flops on. lol
