do u have a line lock on ur car??........

[KAOS]

not to speak out of turn, but yes, i believe i remember a thread where he installed a line lock.

also, just want to say that i somehow missed the link to the video when i viewed the link to the pics and it's titled that Hyde "almost" hit the wall ... phew ... almost had a coronary when i saw this thread.

EDIT: plus i just noticed that "almost" was the first thing he said at the beginning of this ... makes me feel like an even bigger dumbass

[JekylandHyde]

Sorry Kaos

MRQturbo, I have line lock. See here:

Event cancelled due to rain.

From what I understand, they are considering doing the elimination rounds on the Satruday of the ATCO event .... Qualifying for Atco Sat night and then running Atco's race on Sunday on schedule That may be a fun ~ 2 races in one weekend.

The acura was at the entrance to Maple Grove
