You will get 3-4 runs max if you're lucky... Unless they stepped up their cleanup efforts/equipment.

If there is going to be a few others going I may head up to PRP that night. I probably won't run yet as I still have a ways to go on my tune.

Jeremy, what tires and turbo were you running on the car? Who did you get to tune the car?

I went down to Green County yesterday for the Flashlight drags. It was a lot of fun, won every race. Pretty good for mostly a stock EVO IX. Got a video of a Z06 kill....always fun to beat down the vettes...

Also picked up a trophy...beat a Lexus ISF for the Top Tuner awards...

Nice! But in a quarter mile the vette would've won. Gotta love the 1/8 mile!

that's why I like the 1/8 mile...at least while I have stock parts....

I will go invite him to a 1/4 mile once I upgrade the turbo...

I'm running on Hoosier R6's, they are not quite as fast as the A6 but dam, they are consitent the whole time out there. There is still some time left for me out there. It's mostly growing some bigger cahones in a few spots. That and trusting the tires alittle more. Not bad for the first event of the season at speeds tho. I'm pretty content with my times.

Turbo is an fp green. tuned by jestr. I would honestly be suprised if the car hit 400 on a dyno. Close most likely, but there is still more in her I'm sure.

Here I thought you were running a bigger turbo setup. Sounds pretty mean and runs like a ****. It certainly would be easier if there was a switch to turn the brain off when racing.

How often do they have those 1/8 mile flashlight drags? I love those events. Went to one in Zelienople a couple years back - it was a blast...not to mention a major ego booster.
