Congrats to Bill Z. (2005 MR Car # 5) (Dyno Flash tuned) who finished an entire week of testing and qualifying and finished 5th out of a 40 plus car field this Saturday at the SCCA National Runoffs at Mid Ohio - T2 class.

Dyno Flash is very pleased that the car went the distance in one piece and finsihed the race ahead of the majority of the field.

Congratulations on the great finish

 

except the two STi's in front of it.

Slowbaru's seemed to win the day, What happened? I know you don't want to admit anything here especially with Slowbaru's winning. I missed the races so was there any drama and how did the MR do on the track with the rest of the field? How did the MR compare on the track to the STi (with no excuses)?

As the tuner, my job is to make the car run fast and well enough to make it through practice sessions, qualifying and the race.

I am pleased the car made it through in flying colors

I am not sure of how the race went, I hear that the car was involved in a crash in the first turn and had to fight back from 11th position

I will be watching the event on TV when it airs

The Subarus may have won this day - but they are still subarus and the evos will be back !

 

Thanks

 

But so will the Subies. And showing their world class winning power as the rest of the world already knows. If the Evo's lose again, will you finally give the Subies credit(probably not).
I'm just giving you a hard time, but it is well deserved.

How much power did the MR finally put down after your tune?

 

Never too much

 

One of the coolest things about Mitsubishi is that the cars stand on their own.

Subaru's success in motorsports is purchased with huge factory backing and expense

mitsubishi does not contribute any funding to most forms of amature racing in the usa and they still are usually on top

Most of the time I see a subaru going racing its being towed in a $150,000 18 wheeler rig - (made by peterbuilt or kenworth)
