That is an awesome attitude toward any race. I can attest that Jason is a very stand up guy and was super cool before our roll on race in Tx. After he showed me the Joedirt pics and took off his hat it was over
No matter what we do, there is always someone faster and that's life.

Ben - you are my boy, and I hate disagreeing with my friends, but, I do have to keep it real... I too was there and to me it seemed like after Rob missed a shift, there was NO pulling, rather an even race. If he was pulling hard like you state, he would have walked by Chris in his SC. Does it really matter to me? No, not really...but some of us saw it completely differently.
Sean - it wasn't the Supra guys that came over and caused havoc, it was guys with modified G35's that bought a Porsche and thought 450 HP was fast that knew next to nothing about the car culture and modded cars. Those guys learned "a little" and all of a sudden became subject matter experts...coupled with the "creep" factor, they have degregaded the community. Having said that, there are still LOTS of great people here, lots of friends and enough great people that make it worth sticking around.

All good buddy. We definitely had a few different vantage points of the run amongst 6speeders alone. I can only share what I saw which is by no means accurate or factual only what I saw. See you tomorrow hopefully!!

Rob on the other hand better be at 2.5bar. Anything less could be a bad idea on his behalf. 
I know for sure he doesn't want to go one on one at 1.8/9 bar with me! 
All in all I just want a shot at the fastest Porsche in Houston to see how well I do against it! 
Maybe Saturday or Sunday we can meet up if they 60-130 gets rained out. I'm finishing up all my network drops tonight at the house, plus it's raining so that crosses tonight as a chance.

Chris,
Congrats again on the amazing 60-130, you have the fastest stock block 996 based car in the known universe now. But how are you safely running 1.8 bars? I know that reduced timing helps but even so, over 1.6 is pretty scary, IMO.

Just a proper amount of fuel to cool the cylinders and a low amount of timing. One thing to keep in mind is that I'm not always running that amount of boost. I normally run with either the Boost Controller turned off (13psi) or 1.2/3 bar on pump gas. My timing is so low and there is so much fuel that is really safe on pump to run that much.Now the car is going under the knife again for a small brain implant possibly next week to help with future endeavors.
