hmmm not sure why it didnt work. All its really saying anyways is they need corner workers for hillclimb events. you at least get close to the action. I figure i'd do my duty of asking around, since i'm part of the increasing interest! most of the events are middle Pa, northen maryland,

What kind of top speeds and corner entry speeds does a mild bolt on evo pull at BR? Also is their anything that a drag racing car would have to change to be legal to race? IE: does a roll cage void you, lexan windows, lighter parts, etc.... Also how many laps in a row does one do?

Well speed wise i've hit about 125 on the front straight, into about 50 or maybe even slower. I kno i sure don't look at the speedo in that turn. Its all heel toe. for that turn and hard on the brakes. I do kno turn 2,3,4, is about 70-75mph. You get 5, 20 min sessions. I think your car would be fine for lap days you just have to make sure you have a passenger seat. and good brakes!

Do your windows have to be up or down when racing? Also my brakes are no good, stockers FTW. I'll just downshift for corners or something. Or I'm sure I'll figure something out.

driver window has to be down thats it. For brakes, im saying just make sure you have alot of pad left. and put new fluid in. I got my fluid boiling the first time there. That was on the stock brake fluid with like 20,000, 2 years on it. so that was really my fault.

You'll be surprised what fresh dot5 fluid and high performance pads will do.

hey guys, one of my buddies from kentucky is parting out his race neon. i figure no one would be interested in a 2.4 litre build stratus engine, and various other drivetrain parts for it, but there are a couple items he is selling that would work just fine for our evo's. here is the list:

5" tach w/shift-light-$60
MSD DIS2-$200---SOLD**
Tach adapter-$30 (mounting ear was broke during installation, glued back on and does not hurt the operation)
SAFC2-$180
G-tech-$100 firm
