Beating the HKS CT230R's long standing Buttonwillow time attack record is a great feeling. The Sierra Sierra team is happy (for now). Click above to read a little about the event, the story of the record beating, and a little something for the haters.

News flash!! Hot off my cell phone, at the Redline Time Attack, The Sierra Sierra EVO VIII has just broken the long standing time attack lap record at Buttonwillow set by the HKS EVO in 2007 at 1:43.523 with a scorching 1:43.200. With Billy Johnson's NSX absent, they are probably a shoe in for a victory this weekend.
More to come.

Hey Sarah,
I have a turbocharged 1995 Integra GS-R with a T3/T4. I usually set the boost around 8-10psi but sometimes I get up to 14psi. I still have a stock ignition. Is this boost too high for 91 octane? One of my friends said I should install a water injection system, but doesn’t that just kill power? Can you recommend any water injection systems?
P.F.

I am checking out SiGCiG.com's Encore electronic cigarette as a method to reduce smoking. Smoking without the cigarette smoke is pretty cool actually.

A couple of weekends ago I took my 9 year old Daughter Christa to the NHRA Winternationals in Pomona. Being the jaded 9 year old she is, she loved the Top Fuel cars, liked the funny cars and thought the 6 second Pro-Stock cars were lame because they were "too slow". In between runs I explained how the inner workings of Top Fuel and Funny cars tick. She was pretty amazed at some of the facts I told her about the cars and wanted to know how I knew so much about them. I told her the story of how I was a crew member for a Top Fuel Funny Car last year during SEMA week. I learned a lot about these amazing cars that day and I'll tell you the story I told her.
