It had a big turbo and d/p that exited the hood, cage, chute, etc.
I'll try and find the link today and send it to ya.........an come to think of it it may be in NY rather than NJ
David I am sooo sorry but I will not be able to make it. I tried everything imagineable to sell my RS4 and get into an evo by the event but it just didnt happen in time. Then I figured regardless I would just at least hang out. But an opportunity came up to purchase an evo and I bought evo #5 and will be flying out Sunday to pick it up. I tried organizing it where I could do both but too many things up in the air all week
I am looking forward to another great build with the A-Team though
I wish everyone a super and safe weekend and its good to be back. PLEASE post lots of pics.

Thats why I wanted to be ready for the shooutout since Dave mentioned doing an autocross type event. Not sure if that even is taking place now because I havent read much about it. I've been so busy trying to get one bought... It would be cool to see a road course type event though. I'll be ready for next year and I'm keeping this one

Yes, autocross is in effect for sure. Depending on how it goes this year we may change the format of the event next year. Some ideas I have are to go to a full three day event. If we did that we'd do the open house/dyno day on Friday here at the shop. An autocross or possibly even a road course day on Saturday and then the drag portion on Sunday.
I think through looking at the changes in the cars, what people want etc., we've managed to keep this event strong and growing in the last 18 years. Regardless the cars being raced or the economy it has always grown from one year to the next.
If this autocross is large enough that will have me looking at adding it in another way next year to make the day go smoother.
We have guys coming into town already, saw some yesterday......it's obvious people take vacation for this event each year already. Adding in another day makes sense.

Thanks, I'm excited. This one will be going around corners Thats why I wanted to be ready for the shooutout since Dave mentioned doing an autocross type event.

Let me know when you guys are leaving. No plans on my part yet where to stay or anything. I have to finish some cars Friday so it won't be until afternoon when I can leave.
