SEMA EVO8 Build-off!

I'm participating in an EVO build-off at this years SEMA Las Vegas show. I'm really excited about it and I hope some of you can make it down or follow it online (Yahoo will have a live web-cast). I'll be on Chris Rado's team and we're supplying some parts for both of these cars.
Here is some more info. http://www.nopi.com/2005/yahoo_promo.htm
I'll let you know when we have more info.

-Martin

Too bad it is only an 1/8 mile race. Martin, I'm sure you and yours will prevail. I'll try to make it on Thursday.

There is not much new info, but here is another link to the event:

Hey AMS, are the two teams only allowed to use Turbonetics turbos and wastegates? I don't see Garrett as one of the parts suppliers for this event???

Here is another link to the Evo build off. It looks like Martin's team is doing better because the Lucas Oil team is having tranny problems? Also, it looks like the boys from AMS seem to have the edge on making Evo's fast.
