I actually did pretty bad. I did not post any time attack times. My 4th practice lap at the track would have had me a solid 2nd place finish, but on the first lap of time attack session I had boost issues and did not post any times. When I came off and started working on the car they ran 2nd time attack session right after the first one (because of rain coming in) and so I did not get enough time for any repairs.
Practice runs were great, and with more aero on the front and AD08 tires I'm confident I had a shot at 1st place.

I'm very upset about the outcome, but it's too late to do anything about it.

sorry to hear. What kind of issues were you having, not making boost or making too much? I just replaced my forge unos controller with one of the BR units. For some reason the unos **** the bed and wouldn't let me run anymore than 20psi

T3 Turbo to manifold gasket was crapping out on me.

Planning on taking the car out tomorrow, probably will go to that QS&L meet
As for Dragway 42 I'm down for that!

You know what, I might even come out tonight. Wife's in Chicago, but the car is at the shop if it's fixed I will give you a call. Definitely can make it out on the bike though

Which QSL do you guys go to?

Sorry you had problems Alex. If you need something from me, tuning, help whatever, let me know.

I'm signed up for 3 days in July at Mid Ohio. Taking the Eclipse. I might buy some tires for it, the crap I've got on it won't do well.

Yes the one down by Cinemark, I think you have been there before. If you have time, you should stop by tomorrow, every Thursday there is a car meet (pretty decent turn out), I don't know what that group is all about, but they do get parking lot filled with cars.

Thanks Dave for all the help. Unexpected things do come up at the track, and it's always not enough time to get them fixed.

For Mid-Ohio which group did you sign up for? I'm planning on being there running TTS, if not then just group 4. I'm also buying tires right now, my Re-01R have had enough. I'm going for the new AD08, supposedly the best street tire on the market

Valley view - some forced4s car club crap. Parking lot is full - mostly subies, seems like its the new "lersoc" but with younger kids more interested in having slammed 18s instead of going fast. Let us know if you are heading out to it.

I sometimes go to it. I have the white IX on bronze Rota SVN's and baby APR mirrors. Anyway, it's a pretty decent time. Sure, I can take or leave 90% of the people there, but I go with a few friends, check out the cars, and roll when I'm ready. It's worth checking out at least once. Last week there was a race-prepped Cosworth Escort there - one of my all-time favorite cars! That was pretty cool to see.

I will actually be at the theater tonight, but I don't know if I'll make it over to the gathering. It's certainly nothing I need to be at every week, but then again I'm not a huge car club or GTG guy....
