    New - Need some real racin

    Sup.

    Found this site just browsin around.

    My main "after hours" racer is my 1992 Plymouth Laser RS AWD
    Best time on the quarter mile was 12.10

    Unfortunately burlington is a bit lacking in real cars.
    Any ride with an 8 banger or a low stock turbo can beat 99.9% of the people here.
    My only races come from kids with crappy cars with nothin done to them like v6 stangs/camaros, grand ams, hick trucks, etc etc.

    Only had a few good races, most thrilling one was against a WRX STI, pulled ahead of him with a shot of nos while we were side by side heading towards fort madison on 61, was a close one, fun as hell.


    Other then that, my other cars.
    I have a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon, nothing special. Mainly my daily driver.

    I also own a restored 1972 Dodge Charger 440 block.
    My dad passed it to me, and we restored it together, so I don't treat her rough.
    She's my car show/sunday cruiser.

    Hoping to meet some peeps

    theres plenty of cars around here to play with...the trick is...getting them to do something.
