14sec Runs - Putfile.com

Just a little info on the vid. The tC running the 14.7 1/4 mile is not stock. I/H/E on that one. I am the second race (exhaust only) 15.1 1/4 mile (stock crappy scion tires). Then there is a tC at the end that runs a 15.3, I believe he was completely stock.

The reason why the vid looks the way it does (mushy looking) is because a Tornado came through Bowling Green, KY like a day or two before we had this Scion Shootout. So, the track was semi damp and was almost canceled on us, but they let us run because the event had been scheduled for a while and they did their best to dry it up.

The prize of this shootout was a Big Evo III 16G turbine from ZPI Racing (back when their shop was still around). My fiance begged to drive the last race, and it was between us running 15.1 - 15.2 all day with exhaust vs the high 14sec tC with I/H/E. When push came to shove, he missed 2nd gear coming off the line, and my woman made smooth butter shifts and we came home with the turbo, bragging rights for fastest N/A'ed tC, and the trophey. Came back a month or two later, dropped 3 G's down to get the turbo project started, and have not looked back since.

tC NEEDs Loads of TAIL-WIND to GET low 15s.....Mother NATURE AND TC FTW
